Heavy loads front and rear

[Dean Anderson]

Just doing research and thought these links would be good to see. Makes you rethink loading lots on the front and rear.

Would like to see that simulator do the rounds of Australian caravan shows!

good point, that would scare the beejeesus out of a lot of people who have never towed before

Would also scare the beejesus out of some of the people I know in the speedway arena that reverse their cars on a trailer... V8 engine hanging over the rear

A couple of good links there and a nice way to demonstrate to people the different dynamics and forces at work when towing. Great find @Dean Anderson!

Yes saw that.. makes you think..
Our fridge and oven and most of the food over axles.

Thinking to get out some scales and weigh whats in the front and the rear
I know I have almost 70kgs in the tunnel with the weber, chairs, AFK etc.
The battery is under the front bed so another 30kgs
Tools, stools and awning screens under bed another 40kgs
Two Gas bottles and 2 out of 3 water tanks forward of axle.
Maybe I should not of watched that video
