Ladies & Gentlemen. Please, lend me your ears.
I have the TomTom Camping and Caravan Navigation device. Which I am in the process of setting up.
I have actually RTFM (Read the Flippin' Manual - Useless). Event attempted to phone my dealer, but no one is picking up in the Service Dept.
Meanwhile, back at the Ponderosa .... I am in the Currently Vehicle Profile: Car with Caravan.
My Car is a Kia Sportage 2.0 CRDI KX-2, and the van is a 2008 Sprite Alpine 2.
Sprite Alpine 2 MRO is 973 Kg, and MTPLM is 1170 Kg.
It prompts you for:
Weight Presuming this to be my Sportage and Caravan combined weight
Height - Have this, no problem
Max Speed - Have this, no problem
Length - Presuming this to be car & caravan combined length
Width - Have this, no problem
Max Axle Weight - WTF?
From my internet research, Max Axle Weight
Axle weight (GAW, Gross Axle Weight) is the weight one single axle carries when the vehicle is loaded. This weight must never exceed the maximum permissible weight for that axle (GAWR, Gross Axle Weight Rating). A vehicle or trailer with multiple axles can generally carry a heavier load because the weight of the load is spread over the multiple axles. Axle weight is calculated from the weight of the vehicle or trailer and the load being carried, together with the number of load-bearing axles. Make sure you do not exceed the permitted axle load or damage to the vehicle or trailer, or damage to the road you are driving on, can occur. Contact your vehicle or trailer manufacturer for the axle weight limits and axle load calculations.
Can anyone help me with providing the figures for what my max axle weight is for our Alpine 2 please?
