    Don't know, but if you jubilee clamped / welded and stuffed the spring full of tennis balls (poor mans polyair) Im sure it would be fine even with the load still onboard.

    The best way you can avoid breaking stuff is not to overload your vehicle. On my first cape trip I took way too much stuff. Didn't use a lot of it. I was lucky nothing broke- especially crossing the Pascoe river and on the Frenchmans Track. Have a list and be ruthless on saving weight. The second best thing you can do is drive to the conditions. Corrugations are the biggest killer, both on vehicle and camping equipment. Write a list and go over it again and a again.

    Trouble is Jono people need a TV,microwave oven,washing machine,dishwasher,computer,three GPS's and a 10KVA gennie to run it all,ask any bicky dipper.Oh and you need a 4.5ltr V8 cruiser to tow it all as all other vehicles are underpowered,then sit on 70 to save fuel. Pat
