[QUOTE="ken2m, post: 385487, member: 7269"] I do agree with you about minimum weight on towball but with loading the camper differently the weight can easily get to the point of being unstable. I injured my back while camping and when packing to go home I was unable to place an cooler box on the front due to the frame for the hard floor (300mm for the offroad version) so I loaded it on the back where the frame was open. I travelled about 200 metres and could almost see the camper overtaking me in the rear view mirror. So it ended up that I had to bite the bullet and move the cooler to the front, the cooler weighed about 35 kg so an effective weight change of about 50 kg to the front of the hitch, no problems after that. I also drained the just behind axle water tank, about 75 kg, which would have increased the ball weight by a further 15 kg. Ken. [/QUOTE]
