[QUOTE="Tathradj, post: 610207, member: 2436"] The Avan I have is a single axle and yes, Critical to get your balancing act correct. if a bit front heavy I put some water in the main tank to balance it all out. They are designed that way to allow for a full tank, 60ltres of water. I always take it that if you have to go that far, You have something wrong. Besides, That adds to your towing weight and on a long haul, Can impact your fuel usage not to mention wear and tear plus safety in a bad situation. The other Van a 18 footer Pop Top is a dual axle plus dual braked. I m going to put a switch in to cancel the rear axle's brakes as that to me is deadly on a wet road when you have to plant the anchors in a hurry. In the dry, If you have the brakes turned up, It will nearly put you through the windscreen on a bit more than gentle application of the brake pedal. When I fitted my batteries, They are located pretty much square center between the axles. And this thing tows like a dream. You hardly know it is there until you either plant the throttle or come to a steep hill. Like every thing else, Common sense goes a long way. :Y: :Y: [/QUOTE]
