Check List-Van Weigh
Van Checklist:
Tyres:
Are they old or perished?
Is there enough tread left?
Is the pressure correct?
Use the cold tyre pressure rating on the compliance plate as a guide. Test the pressure when cold.
Go for a drive for at least 30 minutes and then recheck.
If the pressure has risen by 5 to 6 psi, then you're spot on.
If the pressure change is higher, then you're underinflated.
If the pressure change is lower, then you're overinflated.
If the pressure increase is significantly high, 10 psi or over, this may indicate a more serious problem.
Brakes:
Have you checked the brake shoes for wear?
Are they correctly adjusted?
Is the controller working properly?
Do you know what to set it on for safe towing?
Wheels:
Are the nuts tightened correctly?
Is there any damage to the rims?
Bearings:
Have you had them regreased?
Have the bearings been correctly adjusted?
Brakeaway Safety:
Check your safety chains for compliance.
Heavier vans will have a breakaway.
Is the cable and clip correctly attached?

Is the plug to the car in good order?
Do the lights work correctly (tail, brake, and indicators)?
Are the batteries in the van charged up?

If you have any concerns, get a licensed gas technician to check it out.
Water:

Do your filters need replacing?
Load:
Do you know what your van weighs when full?
Do you know what the tow ball down load is?
