We need to buy a nose weight guage & there seem to be lots to choose from. We on't necessarily want the cheapest or dearest, just one that's reliable/accurate. Can anyone give any reccomendations?
Thanks!

Milenco noseweight gauge is guaranteed to be accurate to within +1% - 1% but not cheap at £35

Sorry to bring an old thread back to life, but does anyone know what these are like. In theory they look a good idea, but with all the jolting about you could get on a jockey wheel, I wondered how accurate they would be, especially after a time.------------- David

Three things spring to mind....
1) Will it split so you can use it on a centre fit jockey wheel.
2) The wheel is not level to the hitch so you will have to make an adjustment to get a true figure.
3) As it is not BS approved (like the Milenco one) how accurate will it be?

Apparently it does split - I've just phoned Towsure technical to check, but like you Zafiral, I wondered about the accuracy. You're right, it is not BS approved.------------- David

The distances between the graduations look small so reading it may be to a bit too.------------- All year Dorset!!!

sorry but just because you have not checked your noseweight does not mean its something to dismiss .
Vehicle manufacturers have towing and noseweight limits for a reason SAFETY
