Hi Guys
You can start by slaging me god knows I deserve it so go on, go on, go on, GO ON. Julian already owes me a gental slap for all my questions of late. All I know is its a good job I dident say anything because I have never towed any thing other than the dog on his lead.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!
I think Renate simply meant that the vehicle and trailer looked correct. I think the term 'balanced meant 'in harmony' or 'right'. Not balanced as in the same weight on the front as the back.
Even with 50kg (which is less than half my weight!!) on the tow hitch and with the tow hitch at the proper height a vehicle and trailer look level/balanced/correct.
(Or I've not read any of these e-mails properly and I'm babbling on about something else!!)
Now come on. Lets start talking about how to make bread, or what mpg we all get, or propane injection for diesels (if I has plenty of money...)
Good night.

Hi Julian, Renate, and Alan.
I didn't mean to start an argument. It was only a comment on what could
be
Construed from Renate post. I have the utmost respect for Renate.
Reading her posts she is an accomplished TLC owner/adventurer. I posted
a link at the bottom of me original post. This is from a highly regarded
firm who are in the business of trailer design, and build. Who have more
knowledge of trailer dynamics than I do, but to back up my own
experiences of problem with incorrectly loaded trailers. Following a
trailer with a broken down Transit on the back "snake" across the road
when reaching 40 MPH, was not pleasant! And who helped load that
trailer?? Your truly!!
Best Regards to All
Rob

OK, lets calm things down.
As far as I understand it Renate is referring to the LC + Horsebox
setup looking well balanced which is different to what Rob and Alan are
talking about - the actual balance of the trailer.
I don't see any problems with people jumping in to stress safety
issues, but probably best to clarify things before we start a flame
war.
