Hi everyone,
Currently we are in Melbourne, just had Christmas and its New Years Eve. We are getting used to life on the road and sorting out minor problems with van and car. Learning about what fits best when and where. We haven't had any major problems yet, keeping our fingers crossed and enjoying ourselves immensely. This is the first time I have been able to get into this site since we left, I am using my mum's computer. Have a great new year guys, (we weighed ourselves with tracker and car fully loaded before we left it came in at a staggering 6.92tonne)
Regards,
Kerrie, Paul and David

Hi guys, If the "trip" is taking you from Melb along the Great Ocean Road, let me know. We live at Lorne and would be happy to provide some local knowledge (and check out your rig!) Pete & Jan

G'day K,P,D, That's some weight !! I thought the Cruiser (is it a Cruiser ?) was limited to 3260kg GVM and with a 3500kg tow capability gives 6760kg max ? If the BT is below the 3500kg making anything under that "in the Cruiser" that is a reason for concern. Might be time to weigh each individually and take another look at it ? A couple of hundred kilos spread 50/50 Cruiser to BT is not far over in total but if say the BT is at 3200 kg thats 3720 kg for the Cruiser ..... half tonne above legal limit ?
