Tow Ball Download weight confusion with state legal

yes, i was corrected here Tow Ball Download weight confusion with state legal

All this clowning is really irrelevant...

Shove a WDH on - have an accident - watch your insurer walk away doing this... [bigrolf]

I appreciate it isn't always as simple as this, however I'd suggest if you're at the point where a WDH makes the difference between being within axle weight limits or not, you need to pack less, tow less, or invest in a more appropriate tow vehicle for your needs...

There is some truth in this potentially but you might be surprised that i measured a 80kg reduction in rear axle weight which is about a 20% reduction in the load applied by a 260kg ish towball weight (360kg axle load)

Move the van height relative to the tow ball can do exactly the same.

sorry i missed that bit ? what is the safety issue ?

I did't have the manual at hand after reading this, but, I thought(from memory) that the D4 MAX tow ball weight was 250kg, to find out it's 350kg,well, for me that's insane, even 200kg:Thump:

The average caravan manufacturer make dangerous caravans, the vans are too tall and unstable, IMHO:whistling:
