hello, all being equal our family will be doing our first outback tour in a couple of weeks, I have a number if queries for which I would greatly appreciate any advice.

sydney/white cliffs/birdsville/bedourie/boulia/plenty/alice

nissan elgrand (4wd, not very high, no low range), 96 cub camper x4kids+Missus

will only travelled recommended (safe) roads

GVM & GCM is an issue. 2650+950=2700, tare 2100+750.
x6 people = 350kg, payload =200+200. That’s seems not much. Oops +50l petrol + spare +50kg = payload 150+150kg. Total 300kg payload. Is that normal?

Have raised springs & airbags & BFG ATs. May be able to get camper rerated yprsdr

1) Should I take x1 spare wheel (instead of 2)?

2) How worried should I be if I exceed gross weight by say 200kg?

3) Regarding stone guard, on the afore mentioned roads, how necessary is a comprehensive stone guard & how extensively should I protect under body cables etc?

4) One more please/fuel at (unleaded) @ Tobermoray? (or only Boulia & Jervois)

Thanks
