I know a lot of you will already know this but it could be helpful to others just starting. A simple and cheap way to check the nose weight is to place a piece of wood across your bathroom scales then a short piece of wood on top of that just long enough to put the Caravan, Fc etc at its ride hight. Remember that unless your scales are expensive ones they could be out by a couple of Kg so err on the safe side.
One last thing a lot people think the nose weight refers to the weight the rear of the car can handle when what it really means is the max safe weight the towbar fixings can handle so if you go over then there is a chance that you could pull he towbar off.
