Gt Northern Hwy, south of Broome

Sure it's not some Tasmanians fleeing to the mainlland ????????
Crap, I hope not. Theyll hit first. Do you think they speak English ???
Do you trink that one head speaks english and the other one votes?
Looks a little cool and breezy. Who is that under awning dressed like an eskimo
@mrsmfexpanda & @mfexpanda you missed the caravan show 
The bikes be more fun show was boring this year.
The bikes be more fun show was boring this year.Oh joy, the water on the shower floor in Big Mal isn't splash from heavy rain thru the roof vent, had a squiz up top and the damn thing has a crack in it, of course it's a vent system which must have been made for Coromals to fit the roof of the stupid shower cubicle, fan, lights, vent all in the one module, did have a remote for the lights and fan until I turned it into a manual job, previous owner had a box stashed under the bed out of sight which I found, the spare parts in that box save the day again............replacement vent is sitting on the bench ready for some dry weather...............................plans are being made that in time the dumb plastic vent will be replaced by a 250mm alloy job, just need to make sure it will all fit together...............at least all this rain with some good heavy downpours mean it's water tight, well until some NSW roads shake it too pieces again...................
50psi is possible a bit high for the car; I run my van on 50psi but our van is 3 ton. Starting point for tyre pressure is to calculate it from the tyre embossed specs using the actual weight of the van. Then if your really keen fine tune that by the 4psi increase in tyre pressure between cool to tyre cruising temps
Similar, mainly because our vans weigh similar. If towing and everything is sticking to the black top (and it's a reasonable journey) then I'll put everything up to 50. But the car stays around 40-45 in commute mode to provide some comfort hitting Melbourne's beautiful potholes.
One consideration, as @Crusty181 said, is tyre specs. Both my van and car have upgraded rubber, both LT variants and both capable of higher than standard pressures. When it comes to tyres, I worry advising of any "one size fits all" approach.
Nope. But we have all your GST, so we can count
I'm trying to stay away from tyre pressure stuff as @Smergen covered it, there's no one size fits all...
Big Mal has Geolanders on, 265 70x16's, all four will max at 6ton, thats 1.5t per tyre at 80 psi cold, van max weight is 2.8t, hopefully lower than that normally say 2.5t, I have found about 48 - 50 psi cold it runs well, started off at about 38 psi and have slowly worked up to these figures as it rolls along nicely with no sort of drag, tread scour, just sits in behind, while The Ute being a heavy bugga most times and having some ordinary rubber on it runs at 44 around town and 48 on a trip, it possibly at about 2.8t , could be dreaming sometimes, by those figures you can assume absolutely nothing as my loadings and vehicle set up is individual.........by best advice is to start at a figure which approximates the weight of your van compared to the max tyre weight and work from there, mine is sort of half the tyre and I worked up from there............. mind you my Ute I just started at the plate figure and kept going up till the ride and handling was good, these Maxxis tyres quickly let you know when not happy with pressure.

Thats precisely why I didnt tell you that I sold it and bought a Landcruiser
