I ended up buying straight tube and separate pre-fab bends - they are a lot tighter radius than I could get them, and no press marks on the metal (looks like a good mandrel bend). Going to weld these onto the straight tube which will also reduce chance of bending improperly and having both sides slightly different ... I wanted to do the bends, but I want it as symmetrical as possible also, so erred on the side of caution for this one.Originally Posted by growlers71gq
Too right mate - lucky I kept those poly air bags in the rear suspension when I swapped it over ... they'll be a saviour - barwork, fuel, and the towball weight of the camper itself ...
The pipe and pre-cast bends ..

The camper shouldnt be to much of a worry but then i guess you need more gear than we would
About 25kgs down weight on the tow tongue.
you can change that by reassesing what you realy need to take
but takes a lot of humming and harring
Bloody oath they look the goods, what size pipe are ya using ie the larger one. I was gunna hire a bender but 1 dont trust myself and 2 the contractor on site i get on well with and has offered to bend n weld for me so just gotta find the time to get out there!
IF YA DONT GET STUCK YA AINT TRYIN HARD ENOUGH........OR YA TOOK THE CHICKEN TRACK
WARNING: TOWBALLS USED WITH SNATCHSTRAPS DO KILL!!
Not really - it's just a heavy front end due to having the second tyre, second gas bottle, storage box, etc on the front. As well as the long draw bar .... packed pretty well, but would only make a few kilos difference no matter how it was packed as I can't put a lot of weight behind the wheels due to the kitchenette.
So sad ... lol ... love that camper though!!!!
The larger outer measurement is 60mm - I think the smaller one is about 48mm ...
there tops mate love ours to but havnt got the slide out kitchen
jane didnt want one so that was a bonus forme
