    Geeez I hate it when you guys come up with great ideas like that it puts yet another idea in my head to spin around with all the other great ideas of things I'd like to make

    Not sure if there will be one on a car at the expo, and I haven't got one in stock, otherwise I'd bring one with me.
    Come and see me on Sunday and let me know your concerns with the camper, I might be able to tell you if there will be any issues.

    Thanks,
    G'day Michael,
    I haven't spoken to the galvanisers yet as I'll be trying a different one next time I get some gal done. I haven't been completely happy with the one I've been using.
    Knowing what galvanising has cost in the past, I'm confident a gal wheel carrier could be made for the same price as a powder coated one. I'll confirm this when I find a new place, but should be no problem.

    Cheers, Murray

    Cal,

    Did you manage to measure one of these up on your 130. I too have a 130 that will be towing a Kimberley Kamper around the place and am worried about it with regards to departure angles and the like.

    Can you let me know how you went with it?

    Ben

    Juddy,
    Do you have a picture of your pintle. I'll probably be able to see if I can modify around it or not.

    I think the only problem you might have with towing etc is the latch end of the wheel carrier clearing your tow hitch when you open the carrier. It would depend on what type of hitch you have as well as what height it sits at. I've seen a few extended tow hitches on Landys lately which would help with clearance as the trailer hitch is further away when the carrier swings out.
    Here's a picture of the latch in the closed position. The lowest point of the carrier is a little above the bottom of the chassis.

    Cheers, Murray
