I have read the archives about towball down weights. I have a Jayco offroad camper, it has the kitchen at the front also the gas bottle and two jerry can holders. I have measured the towball down weight as approx 165kg. I would like to transfer the jerry can holders to the rear bumper bar, the spare wheel is also mounted on this bar.
My questions are:- Is this legal/OK to do. Has anyone done this. Would I have to strengthen the rear bar.
I have a Jeep Cherokee and the rear sags a bit when towing.
I have stabiliser bars fitted and the suspension has been renewed. Maybee placing the jerry cans at the rear will improve this and reduce the towball down weight.
Any comments will be appreciated.

Robbo.
