This is the bit that always has me baffled, if the toad is registered to carry say car licence weight making the GVM 4.5 Tonne, does that weight combine with the GVM of the towing vehicle to make up the GCM of the towing vehicle? The toad obviously has the ability to carry that weight and stop that weight with its own braking system operated remotely from the towing vehicle and applies no down force on the rear of the tow vehicle.... so it isn't really a trailer like a pig (axles in the centre) or single axle box trailer or steered the way a dog trailer is, so would the same rules apply?

A person may fail many times, they only become a failure when they blame someone else John Burrows

The sides are going to be vinyl wrapped, and I have been looking for a good Australian scene to put on the back

Re: What did you do to your rig today?
We are doing the same, swirls and stuff on the sides and trailer, name on front and back, and last movie scene on the rear.

Re: What did you do to your rig today?
Very unlikely to be 22.5 on the bus in reality. So let's say 21.5 on the bus and 3.5 on the trailer. Allows you to do a little bit of guessing without stressing as they say?
Can you pump up the rear axles separately? (or down!) That'd be good for green grass & to adjust load on the steer a bit.

Re: What did you do to your rig today?
I have a tag dump for the green grass, otherwise they are full load share
