SETUP WEIGHTS SATURDAY 11/1/14


OK for all that are interested I have arranged the weighbridge to be available for our use on Saturday 11th January2014 from 8.00am

The location will be EP Freight Wilkins Rd Gillman between browing St and hanson Rd (opposite the motor bike track)

Take this opportunity to weigh your van and tug and have a play with your WDH set up to get the best ballance

As i said in the other post ther will be NO one  of any official capacity (DOT RTA ect) on site so no need to worry if you are "not legal"

This is just for us vanners to weigh and play with no real time restraints and NO COST so if you are coming please let me know

Oh by the way did I mension the sausage sizzle

we currently have about 15 people coming

Are you one of them?

If not why not

you might just be the one to pass your knowledge on to someone who has a problem and does not know how to fix it

so come and pass the things you know to those who dont

Well done Grommet, we won't be there, as we are currently in WA, but what you have organised is a great service.  Sorry to miss the sausage sizzle.

the day went very well

We weighed 15 vans with some interesting results

some of the owners were over tensioning their WDH thus putting too much transferred weight on the front wheels which was easily over come

an other was the tyre pressures, most people had incorrect tyre pressures which we explained the reasoning to

But over all it was a very positive day with lots of information being exchanged between all that attended

Amazingly not one was over weight

The closest was a off road camper which had 49kg to go
