I recently spoke to my SWMBO's cousin who is active in a Qld caravan club.
He told me that there is a new requirement that shackles on safety chains must be "rated" ie have a WLL stamped on them, and that members had been fined by police for not having rated shackles.
Does anyone know whether this is true or an urban myth. Nobody I speak to seems to know anything about it.
They are only cheap but you have to get small ones from Bullivents or another chain company , which is a PITA.
