Hi all,

I recently had my rig weighed at a public weigh bridge. This sparked some research on my part on the spec's for both the OR camper trailer and my Jack.
I found that with the boat and all the goodies loaded on the trailer I am right on the registered load limit for the trailer.
The surprise was when I determined the load limit for my Jack.
All up the entire rig is a little over 3.5 tonnes.
I have checked some of the larger 4wd's and their max loaded is naturally greater but still not that good if all the goodies are in/on the 4wd (no camper).
Given that most find they have to beef-up the suspension, is that where the limit comes from or are there still other areas that require attention due to the large loads.
How many people have had their rig weighed and are they within the registered limit?

Regards
