Static Load for Caravans: How to Measure Correctly and Avoid Fines
Original source: PROMOBIL

The static load on the tow hitch affects safety when towing a caravan and is regulated by law. During inspections, police measure the caravan's axle load, while the static load is counted towards the car's weight. The maximum permissible value is listed in point 13 of the vehicle registration document, typically 75–100 kg.
