A curious angle, the rig behind the towing vehicle, and on the cover of such a prestigious magazine!!! After driving on the dirt & then in the rain the
water off the camper will wash the dust/mud off the back windows. Neat trick.

I think he's referring to the angle of the car and the van. Bit too much ball weight??? Could be just the angle the photo was taken though.

Good point Fred L.
One would think that in this day and age there would be no "nose down" towed vans.
Especially with all the after market bling kits available ..... not too mention all the invaluable towing advice and suggestions from experienced vanners on forums such as this one ............
That picture just tells the novice tower that a badly set set up rig is acceptable.

Unfortunately, one still sees far too many nose down rigs being towed - and they are not all older rigs. Scary stuff.

OK so he's refering to the angle of the trailer,
well car looks ok , and for bleep y little trailer like that ball weight would not be an issue as the fly stated , better to have it forward like that than laying back like some i've seen, just about enough to lift the drive
wheels of the ground,

You could be surprised, when we first bought our Jayco Dove it pushed the back of the paj right down. We had the weights checked. Van total 980kg, ball weight 190kg!
We redistributed a few things and moved the
water tank and got it back to a reasonable figure.
