32 Caravan - 10-13 - EN
Please refer to the vehicle documents and the description of the tow coupling
for the maximum permissible nose weight.
If different values are specified in the vehicle documents and in the description
of the tow coupling: Select the lowest value. This value is the maximum pos-
sible nose weight for the towing vehicle and caravan.
Check the nose weight before each journey, e.g. with a nose weighing scales. To
obtain a correct value, position the nose weighing scales vertical under the cou-
pling jaw and place the caravan drawbar horizontal.
The payload in the caravan must be distributed in such a way that the measured
nose weight comes as close as possible to the maximum permissible nose
weight. The maximum permissible nose weight is not be exceeded.
Axle load The axle load (Fig. 4,3) is also specified in the vehicle documents of the towing
vehicle and provides information concerning the permissible maximum load for
the front and rear axles. The axle load may not be exceeded by a trailer. The above
illustration shows where which forces act on the car and caravan.
4.6.5 Roof loads
X Only step on the roof if a roof rail is mounted. Only climb on the roof via the
ladder at the rear
X Only step on the ladder if the rear corner steadies have been extended or if
the caravan is connected to the towing vehicle or if the caravan is supported
at the rear to prevent it from tilting. Otherwise the caravan can tip over to the
back. Danger of falling!
X Be careful when stepping onto the ladder. There is danger of slipping if the
ladder is wet or icy.
X Take care when stepping onto the roof. There is danger of slipping when the
roof is wet or icy.
X Do not place too much load on the roof. The road behavior and the stopping
behavior deteriorate as the roof load increases.
Z If the vehicle is equipped with a roof rail, load racks can be mounted on the roof
rail for roof loads (e.g. for surfboards, rubber boats or light canoes). Special
girder systems are available as accessories of third-party manufacturers.
Z The maximum permissible roof load amounts to 100 kg.
Z The vehicle roof is not suitable for localised load. Before stepping on to the roof,
extensively cover the area you will be treading on. Materials with a smooth or
soft surface are suitable, for example, a thick polystyrene panel.
Z Secure roof loads with tension belts. Do not use rubber expanders.
Z Observe the overall height of the vehicle when the roof rack is loaded.
Z A clearly visible notice stating the overall height should be attached to the
towing vehicle. This eliminates the need for calculations at bridges and thor-
oughfares.
