We have a 2011 Jayco Outback Discovery, total fully laden is 2230kg, so its my understanding that the tow ball weight is 10% of that amount, being 223Kg...The compliance plates states empty ball is 142Kg, so thats not rocket science...

We have 2011 mn Triton with a ball weight of 300Kg

I know insurance companies will not insure your vehicle if in an accident with the ball weight to excessive...

Now, this is what I have taken out of my boot to reduce the weight ,as it was 260Kg

Emptied the front 80litre water tank.rear one full
Taken out the second 100amp battery,(there is another inside, controlled by a 160watt solar panel)
Removed stone guard
Removed 100mm PVC tube, inside is fishing rods and tent poles.
Reducing the weight to 190Kg

Whats left in the boot;
2 x 9kgs gas bottles (full)
small tool box, with pegs ropes etc..
Jack
Toilet chemicals
small 2 burner BBQ and plate

So in theory I have 33kgs to play with..
Any help would be much appreciate..
