Hi, 

we are looking at getting the twin axle Elddis 636 which weighs 1642kg... this is just over 85%  recommended towing weight of our car (Vauxhall Antara) at 88%.  However, the Antara nose weight limit is 80kg which is just under 5% of the caravan weight...

After reading loads of articles/posts I'm still totally confused regarding the nose weight of twins axles...  Some say that the nose weight isn't an issue as the twin wheels share the load more eveningly making it balance better others say its hard getting
it down to an acceptable level...

What are peoples experiences?  Do you think 80kg on a 1642kg twin axle is possible with sensible loading..

Thanks in advance,

James
