We have a 2010 Eccles Moonstone which we presently tow with a Freelander 2. I struggle to get nosewieght down to much below 85kg's which hasn't been an issue. However an impending vehicle change is limiting preferred choice with many non 4x4's having a max
75kg's limit. I note another member on here who co-incidentally is called Moonstone (can't think why!) has mentioned he simply cannot get below 80kg's nose weight. Has anyone else had thsi problem with the same 'van? The basic van shell and layout is used
under many different Sterling/Swift group names. Given the MLTPM is around 1580kg's and we probably load to around 1520-1530 kg's what would be a reasonable (minimum) nose weight for such a weight?
