After communicating with dunmowin for the past few weeks about travelling in Tasmania we were able to meet face to face. It was great to enjoy a nice 'Happy Hour' with Lorraine and John. One of the great things about this Forum is meeting new people who share the same love of travel that we do.

Gday... I became aware of this video from another forum. It gives a good idea of Weight Distribution Hitch (WDH) use - particularly for those who are new to vanning.

Not taking too much notice of the maze of pipe work at that stage, I brought the 25mm OK, then went searching for the 38mm, and guess what the only supplier was Jayco. So $75 poorer I went to fit, but before I unwrap...

Has anyone hired one of these or had any experience with them? They look like they might be very hot inside during summer. I'd imagine they get knocked around when hired.
