There has been some discussion in the past of car and van combinations being stopped and weighed to determine if they are complying with stated allowances. These pictures were posted by a friend on my Facebook page showing vehicles being pulled over recently in Cann River and being weighed.

If any one is interested in Jayco see a bloke called Scott Barker. He will be found in the camper/expanda section. Very honest and reliable. Have dealt with him before and can highly recommend him. Nothing in this for me. Just like to help others. He won't pressure you into something unsuitable.
