This week, our friends at RV Daily posted an article about the Police charging a man with offences related to overloading his van (read the story here). We think that starting to see evidence of the Police cracking down on those that don’t manage weight is a positive thing in our opinion – it’s all too often that you see a van turned over or crash where overloading looks like an issue.

We figured that it was worth providing some resources to help anyone towing understand how to make sure they aren’t overloaded. You can check out some of the videos below.
