P.s I am more than likely looking at taking the camper trailer
Ok if you really want to do this 100 per cent correct you would use fswr ( flexible steel wire rope) between your 2 tow points of the car and use an equalising sheave. Using a shackle as a runner is...
Correct... If 900 then 1800 would give you 60 degrees.... 60 degrees is optimum for the sling but I assume the longer the better to minimise the side load on the tow points.
Scotty
Oh and while I am at it for those that struggle with angles, if all sides of a triangle are the same you have 60 degrees ie 2 m between tow points and a 4 meter bridle will give you the 60 degrees.....
Just a note... There is a formula for all angles to get angle factors but the 4 are most commonly used and generally round up to the bigger angle.
Scotty
Sort of correct,
If you have a a 1 tonne strap ( just an example) and using it as a bridle and you wrapped in around something round that it the same diameter as the distance between your two tow...
When you use an equaliser make sure you use a shackle as the "runner" and not just loop it through the end of the strap, the heat caused by the friction can melt either strap while under load.

We are going but out times are slightly different due to school holidays, we are leaving the Friday afternoon and taking the central " short cut" stopping at Ayers Rock and then coming back down...
Hmmmm, decisions decisions, to bring the camper or not !
With this many people going there is as much a risk of cars breaking down as there is campers( less likely the campers if they are full off...
