Themaximum nose weight for a caravan will belimitedbyeitherthetowingvehicletowhitchlimits or the maximum load to which thecaravanhitchisspecified.

MeasurementofthenoseweightNose weight may be measured using aproprietary brand of nose weight indicator.SuchequipmentisobtainablefromyourBaileyretailer.

Another simple method is to use bathroomscales and a suitable piece of strong timberas a platform to rest the tow hitch on. Thetimber can be placed vertically between thecaravan tow hitch and the bathroom scales.The timber should be of such a length thatwhen the caravan tow hitch is lowered ontoit,usingthejockeywheel,thecaravanfloorishorizontal.Theweightcanthenbemeasured.

Thegreaterthetowingvehicle’stailoverhang(the distance between the rear axle and thetowball) the greater the effect the noseweightwill haveon the towingvehicle’s rearsuspension.

Aftertryingoutthecaravan itmaybefoundthat stiffening of the rear suspension isnecessary but note that this may give thetowingvehicleafirmerridewhennottowing.

There are a number of suspension aidsavailable and advice should be sought onwhichtouseandhowtofit.

It is important toensure that thecaravan istowedeitherlevelorslightlynosedown.Ifitisnot,thenthecar’stowbarmaybeatthewrongheight.

Alwaysconsultyourtowvehiclemanufacturerforadviceontowingandtheloadsthatthevehicleiscapableoftowing.

Recommended Towball HeightThe recommended towball height for Baileycaravans is 385 +/- 35mm (350mm to420mm).

Secondary Braking Cable (breakaway device)Purpose: To apply a trailer’s brakes if itbecomes separated from its towing vehicle.

Correct procedure for use:Regularlycheckthecableandclipfordamage.If in doubt, contact your trailer or towbarsupplieroryourserviceagent.Make sure the cable runs as straight aspossible and goes through a cable guideunderneaththetrailercoupling.Determine whether or not the towbar hasa designated attachment point (i.e. a partspecificallydesignatedbyitsmanufacturerforabreakawaycable).

Whenthebreakawaycableisattached,checktoensure:a.ThatthecablecannotsnaginuseontheCaravan coupling head, jockey wheel, oranyaccessory,e.g.astabiliser,bumpshield,cyclecarrier,etc.

b.That there is sufficient slack in the cableto allow the towing vehicle and caravanto articulate fully without the cable everbecoming taut and applying the brakes.Forpeaceofmindyoumightwishtocheckthe state of the cable by positioning thecaravan and towing vehicle at extremeanglesbeforesettingoff.

Having followed this advice, should you feelthat a satisfactory coupling arrangementcannot be achieved, consult your trailer ortowbarsupplierorserviceagent.

It is a legal requirement that the secondary breakaway cable is used when towing.

Chassis MembersTherecommendedtowvehiclecouplingheightis385mm+/-35mmfromthegroundtothecentreoftheball.

Offroadvehiclesareexemptfromthistowballheightspecification.

Manufactured from high quality steel, thechassis has extra deep sections to providestrength at points of maximum stress.Large elongated holes are punched in thelongitudinalandtowbar,(“A”frame)members,to reduce weight to a minimum. Each holeincorporates a returnflange tomaintain therequired strength and provide rigidity in theextradeepsections.

Thechassisframeisofaboltedconstructionwhich, should the need arise, allowsreplacementofindividualparts.

ThechassisisHotDippedGalvanised.Thisisregardedasoneofthebestformsofcorrosionprotection. It does,however, requireminimalmaintenanceincertaincircumstances.

When new, the chassis is of a bright andshining appearance.

For temperatures less than 13°C, theuseofpropaneshouldbeconsidered.”For this reason, Alde recommends usingpropanegasforallyearroundgasheating.LPG cylinders contain both gas and liquidforms.
