Next week with luck I will weigh my Vans ATM. (Water tanks empty) 1. Coupled to ute i will weight on both axles. 2. I will un-couple and weigh TB using jockey wheel. 3. Add both gives my my ATM..right. My question is,,will the TB weight be far out? As obviously the jockey is not identical to tow ball.

Hi. I was looking at the overwhelming range of off road vans and a couple of Carrera vans caught my eye. Mainly because $60,000 is a lot less than some of the others! Does anyone have any opinions on this brand? Thanks Noel

I've been searching to buy a used pop top caravan, and during my search I inspected a van that had an Alko 10" Ratchet Jockey Wheel. I'm just wondering what experienced caravanners think of them and are they as good as they seem to be?
