Hi all, I know that all traiers are different, but what sort of weight do you guys run on the toungue? The manufacturer recommends 60kgs, I measured mine and its 100. What are your thoughts?
Cheers

Hi, and thanks for your reply, I am not too worried about that, the trailer is brand new and van more or less too. My issue is that on the trailer plaque it says that the max weight on tongue is 60kgs. I was actually considering to put some counter weight at the rear to reduce the weight slightly from the front.
Cheers

Problem is the fly nut holding the ramp in place would end up under the splitter

Still have to try it out as it is first to see how it is. If so, that is what I will do. Cheers
