  2. Overloading your caravan or trailer adversely affects vehicles' performance and jeopardizes safety. Overloading also creates difficulties while towing a caravan.  • Weighing your caravan with the caravan scales is the only way to ensure that your vehicle is well within the limits. • You can take the caravan to public weighbridges or use a portable caravan weight scales to measure weight at home. • Nevertheless, it is considered best to weigh a caravan at weighbridges to accurately determine weight during loaded and unloaded conditions.

  3. Weighing a Caravan at Home With Portable Caravan Scale: • Portable scales are easy to use and can be carried anywhere. Also, these scales can be repaired at your nearest scale repair shops. • To use these scales you just have to drive your caravan over these scales to record the reading. The weighing scale stores the data until you record the reading for each of the caravan wheels and then indicates the total weight of the vehicle. • Additionally, scale helps you in determining overloading on the right side or left side of the vehicle. Ideally, the overall weight must be distributed evenly on both sides. Even loading ensures the vehicle’s better performance.

  4. Weighing a Caravan at a Public Weighbridge: • Despite the obvious advantages, portable caravan weight scalesmight not produce perfectly accurate results. Thus it is advised to use weighbridge facilities near you. • These facilities not only allow you to weigh the entire caravan but also allows you to measure the rear axle load by reversing back onto the plate. • Also, when it comes to payloads, both the towing vehicle and caravan have legal weight limits. As a result, after you've loaded up for your journey, it's best to make your first stop at a public weighbridge.
