Let me guess ... kombis, beetles, Tatras, Renault Alpines and porsche 911s ?

5th wheeler?

Is this another 'a friend of a friend got booked for having an overweight trailer' type of deal? Seems to happen all the time with no one themselves actually getting booked, although I would be glad to see this start - it's a huge problem Australia wide.

As Shane said - the Hire company I work for got rid of all its car trailers as the liabilities were too high. With new tougher COC laws being introduced early next year I'd say we'll see a lot more do this too.

Agreed, The Horsey Mob are a bit "Different" and quite a few of them are Landrover owners as well which is a bit of a worry [bigwhistle]

Oh dear. That remark reminds me of us being chased by a horse person towing a horse box (loaded or not I don't know) along a road through the Perth hills in HER Rangie.....
If it was loaded that poor horse got flung around everywhere. Bloody maniac.

Oh, yes. Of course.
It is also very light. Deceptively so. That is just thin flat sheet on the side. A light frame underneath and chequer plate for where the wheels go.
