Looks good Carlos, the bracing for holding the gas bottle will make it even stronger.
When will be welded to the chassis?

You have the same hitch and jockey wheel as I have too.
New draw bar is now on with a first coat of paint (just for looks really as its full gal. This is such a weight of my shoulders getting it done. Took 2.5 hours all up, then another 45min to paint first coat.
Now I need a bold on spare wheel carrier and u-bolts to fit the jockey wheel (decided against welding it on)

Looks very neat, also you have to mount the PVC pipe to store the annex posts.
Is there room for a 9kg gas bottle or will be better to fit two of the small ones ?
Just wonder if would be possible to do something like this to gain space?Quote:

I will have to see how it all fits. First I need the bits, the I can move it around to determine the best setup.
Looks the goods Carlos. You should be able to fit a spare and a 9Kg bottle on there no probs. :)
Hell of a lot of drawbar weight there :eek: :eek: gas bottles would be 30kg, spare 25, 80kg in drums.... Fuel drums would need to go into the car or over the axle in the caravan :wasntme:Quote:

Note: with the weights at the ends it's WAY more stable........until the second it's not... then it's all over.
My parents new european caravan even has the gas bottles mounted over the axle and no front or rear boots (that's how keen they are to keeps the weights away from the ends).

Shane, the example was only related to the angle mounting of the spare which in the Millard allows to bring the spare as close as possible to the front wall of the caravan.
I do not suggest for a minute to put so much weight in the front of the van.:)
