To balance caravan tyres or not

Just had tyres on the drive to replace the 4 tyres on the caravan and I noticed he did not balance the first tyre

So I asked about balancing and was told he has asked before and was told they normally do not balance them but he would check the next one to see if they are out

After he did so t was out of balance and he did balance them

I wonder what the tyre manufacturer would say to not to balance the wheels

Out of balance wheels do wear out components fitted to the outfit as they would on a car 

Could the caravan club look into this matter in case it causes a concern for everyone

    I had my caravan tyres balanced because I reckoned there would less vibrations inside the caravan and hopefully help to keep the furniture together for longer. I would n't drive the car with unbalanced wheels.

    Me too I have done for years so every new van gets them done. It's your investment, look after it

    Do the caravan manufacturers balance the wheels on new caravans?
