A slightly embarrassing ask here, but having reall issues calculating the potential weight issue on our rear axle wheb using the formula found online. I just don't trust my workings and would appreciate someone who has a better grounding in maths provide me with an answer. Basically, I want to know if carrying 150kg in my rear garage gives me a rear axle overhang weight issue or not. Here are the specs:
Front axle plate limit: 1960kg
Rear Axle plate limit: 2240kg
Wheelbase: 4050mm
Front of MH to centre front wheel: 850mm
Rear wheel centre to back of MH: 1850mm
Max permissable load 4,000kg
 
Thanks for all the advice. in respect of my last question though: the ultimate calculation is the weighbridge weight? If it's below the allowable rear axle limit I am all good?
Just a wee reminder that in the uk whether it be weights and measures/ police, give you 5%
Tolerance in your favour before issuing a fine.
Don’t know about the E/U.😀

Drive with a passenger and then without. This will be about the same as adding or removing about 60/70kg on the front axle. In reality you'll not notice any difference.
