Hi guys i hope someone can help me with this question. I have a 2007 Toyota hilux v 6 petrol cabsav with the ball weight of 250kg. The caravan is a jayco 18 ft Westport pop top and has a ball weight of 51kg. I had purchased a Hayman and Reese the one i can turn upside down so i can level the van with the vehicle because the hilux towbar is so low. The question is am i doing it wrong by turning the hitch upside down to level the van. I will send photos after

Hi.
You can have then either way.
AS LONG as you not going to bounce it on the deck when driving.

It's the same leverage on them in either direction.
PS I've done both over the yrs.
NOT a problem.

FOR SAFETY.

I'd add more weight to drawbar.
100kg's as MINIMUM.. 150 better.

Have fun.
