Trailer tyre sizes

That would be borderline IMO.

From what I have seen and found , 50mm is about the max you can go before you run into trouble.

Having said that though , mine couldn't be lifted that far without problems. I have the max size tyres that will fit (265/75/R16).

Obviously , only way to know is give it a shot.

Why don't you park your trailer on a couple of pieces of 4x2s (or in new speak 100mm x 50mm) under the wheels and give it a go.

Hey Skinny
some figures for you
750r16 @ 812
205r16 @ 747
235/85r16 @ 806
so axel hight half these differences
hope that helps

are you sure the figers you gave for 235s are correct? I'm sure they are bigger than 750s.

Skinny can you put the axle on top of the springs?

Couple of VB's in it and it really makes no difference...providing u like to have a coldie of two...when its time to set up...after that...its time to pack up and keep going..

whats the worry if you lift the camper x amountand the canvas doesnt reach just dig a hole the same depth as what the canvas is above the ground, let the wheels into it and hey presto the canvas on the soft top would still touch the ground same as original design.
I've only owned a camper 1 week but it doesnt take a engineering degree to work it out.

I've recently been in a situation where the ground was on quite a slope, in this case the front was lower than the back. I can see the only problem being (and we have a cavalier) the trailer end at the ground level. You would just have to peg in the two trailer bottom ends as far as they go with a little tension on the canvas. The rest won't be a problem as the whole tent section will slope downhill a little. If anything it makes the tent ground sheet alittle more waterproof if water is running from under the trailer to the end of the tent, and won't hit the seam at all.

In our setup the piece of groundsheet at the base of the trailer is dead space anyway - you don't walk on it and possibly only put bags or the ladder there.

Hope You can interpret this properly, as I think I just confused myself.
