I have see that the price of this specific WDH varies greatly.

Ive had a GVM upgrade to my vehicle and with the stronger tougher suspension, I have no need for a WDH.

I need these gone as taking up space

Price reduced to $600 ono

 Thanks for your kind thoughts Kevin, but I bought a car with a 2300kg rear axle ex-factory, so don't need any help. . Just wondering how a GVM upgrade negates the perceived need for a WDH, as rear axle carrying capacity is the biggest problem with most cars. One of the biggest wastes of money is a GVM upgrade on an LC200 that is used for towing, as the most popular upgrade lifts rear axle capacity from 1950kg to 2000kg. Why would you bother? GVM upgrade is good if that car is to be used for carrying heavier loads without a trailer, but when the car is used for towing a GVM upgrade does virtually nothing. When I regularly point this out to the many people I meet in my travels they just stare incredulously at me, and then at each other. "You're joking"? they ask, but sadly it is "No joke". Cheers

P.S Does the seller not have a 4.2 litre Patrol as his vehicle? If so, with a lightweight rear axle and reduction in GVM as towball weight increases, that car needs all the help it can get when towing. Perhaps he doesn't understand how a WDH works, and what it is designed to do?  Just saying. Cheers.

The Seller understands rear axle weights, The Seller does understand how a wdh works and what it does. The Seller does have a Nissan Patrol, and The Sellers Nissan Patrol has heavy bull bar, heavy rear steel bar, heavy rear drawers, so with full fuel and two passengers was/is 3000kgs. The GVM of The Sellers vehicle is 3080 kgs so The Seller needed the GVM upgrade to 3505 kgs to be able to do what he wants to do with his vehicle and legally tow his caravan

 Would the seller happen to know what the critical rear axle carrying capacity is now, with the 3505kg GVM upgrade? And does the seller have any knowledge of how Nissan's GVM reduces as towball weight increases? Just wondering. The seller has done all the right things to carry a heavy load in his car but I wonder does he know the answers to my two questions as his towing capacity is affected by same. What weight van is he hoping to tow? Cheers

I really couldnt be bothered. This is not a I know more than you contest. If you wish to pump out your chest and feel good about yourself, go right ahead.

Yes I know the answer to your questions and yes Im aware Nissan state extra loss of payload with heavy tow ball weights.

Have a nice day looking at yourself in the mirror

Cheers

SHakey,
A good price for new ones, but remember this is a grey nomads forum. Probably they are all waiting for Happy Hourbiggrin.

Hope my attempt at humour did not offend.

 No offence taken my friend, I have broad shoulders. I cant believe the variance of prices for these things and Ive done my best, but I dont want to give them away, if you know what I mean. 

I was told to buy them when I bought my caravan (my first ever) and everything Ive learnt from here and other forums, I find I dont need them, so doing my best to offload them. Well im finding that this is a task. 

All good here, enjoy your day and a cold beer at happy hour
