Not interested in 9kg gas bottles, 4.5's are fine, the rack was heavy as crap and the new front mod (just doing prototype now) will have a HD alloy shield with a bit better airflow. Those mods will not be done before NP AU Day meetup.
Keep everyone posted.. trying to get 2x120 ah batteries in there now, inverter, PV controller tonight.

Just looks heavy with the coupling being so far from the axle it looks very front heavy to me.
maybe 10' from the wheels to the coupling is it, or is that front box empty

Front box has the frig on one side, nothing else right now ..
TD, your in trouble with my wife, first pictures of frame at lunch, now going to bed but instead I'm going out to measure ...
I had all the tent poles, awnings, etc in the front when we took delivery, 'trol didn't move a bit when we hooked up. maybe 10mm I was really surprised.
If you look at the rear frame there is a blank receiver but on either side there are two frame receivers where that spare holder and receiver slots into. I'm going to add a small box on the right side to hold the chemical toilet and the center to left side 4 20L water containers, that will effect the CG aft.... 'course could be smok'n dope too
Center of Tregg to center of axle 3720mm..
A lot of the unit is ally plate btw.

I will try and to a loaded tongue weight before too many more mods. I know one owner already added jerry cans AND the spare tire up front.

100x50x4mm drawbar... Had the blue slip today, shop was impressed underneath, I wasn't with the paperwork. Need to talk with Mark but we over came and now it has a license plate.
