Will be setting off on my Hol's soon
Not sure what to set the pressures at as I will be towing my caravan which is 1400kg.Do I set them at the fully loaded pressure or just the normal pressure

the weight odf yer caravan shunt be on yer vehicle, its got its own axle fer that. at most i think you should have 50kgs on yer tow bar. so unless yer loaded yer landy up to the max i'd keep them as normal

Have a look in your handbook, My Td5 handbook says to INCREASE pressure when towing, without looking for my book, 28 front, 40 rear is what I tow my Elddis van at.

Please consult your book as tyre pressure is critical when towing.

wtf is a handbook? if yer shed on wheels is loaded properly you put less than 100lbs on the towbar which would be less than a dead body and you never see The Sopranos upping their tyre pressures after a whack.

if yer shed is putting that much weight on yer car that you need to up yer pressure then sort it before you kill someone
