my hilux camper only has a 50kg ball weight with an empty box, i can put 4 full jerry's (added on to the other things i carry) and only add 15kgs to the ball weight, and my box is closer to the ball then the section in deans trailer.


we'll have to do some measuring as we go along dean
That makes sense being that the wheels are the balance point and the Jerry cans are quite close to them.. No doubt they'll all be needed when everything is loaded up it is a jeep after all!!
