Yes i challenged them on it, the rims were our main concern as the tyres were close to but over the weight. Most of the 16" tyres are coming in at 1090kg but these must be cheaper tyres as my BFG's are rated a lot higher. The rims how ever were under weight which has been sorted just waiting for them to arrive now. They are being replaced under warranty
Ok so first mod was fix the water leak behind fridge, found that when fridge defrosted the water drain tray over flowed so the excess water ended up in the floor cavity below the fridge.
Inserted drain pipe into drain tray
Tidy up hose going through floor,
Found an unused hole full of sealant so put drain tube through there and resealed, now any excess water exits under the van.
As you can see the 12v wires to the fridge are large (2nd pic), 4 hours travelling and not 1 degree in temperature was lost from freezer of fridge, so we are pretty happy with that!

Thanks for that. Just had another look at my Outback.
My tyres are Adventure A/T 11 GT Radials. Max load1060kg. Made in China. My wheels are 15" black alloy. I can't find any markings on the wheels to indicate their load rating. There is nothing on the compliance plate other than their size. How did you know the wheels had load issues? Or was it the tyres that were the indicator?
I have had concerns with my van's capacity to carry a full load so I am thinking perhaps I need to talk to Jayco H/O. I really could not get much sense out of B/water Jayco other than they had fixed the original problem.
Thanks Colin, on the road at the moment. There is nothing on the outside face of the rim but looking at the spare I can see there is some data on the inside face. I have to pull it off the B/bar so see it clearly.
My ATM is 2204 kg. Max ball is 222 kg. I would probably hit both those limits which is why I worry about the tyres at 1060 kg and the axle at 2100. I am aware that the max ATM is made up of tyres axle loads plus ball weight. Still seems to be all very close.

Peter.

Hi Peter,
Yes they are close, your GTM comes in at 1982kg so still under the weight of the rims i have fitted. Have seen some 15" rims with a weight of 1050kg each. They like to cut it fine by the looks of it.
The weight is usually stamped into the back of the rim.
Well today was the day, finally got the 16" rims supplied and fitted by Jayco, took a little while but they came through.
For the folks that supplied the pic's i required thank you. You know who you are, helped a lot with my argument.
