    Towbars

    I've got a 1993 GQ RB30 Wagon, it's got a Hayman Reese towbar on it. Ball weight on the bar is 120kg, yet tow weight is 2.5t from memory. Is this right? 120kg seems awful light. From reading online, some patrols were only allowed a ball weight of 120kg, so it's not so much the towbar but the car itself?

    My 1500kg camper is around 100kg ball weight, and that's with water in the rear tank. I imagine when it's empty at the end of a trip, the ball weight would increase. I'm doing my best to get some of the weight towards the rear but I'm running out of things to move. Thoughts?
