Thanks Ed, I held off replying to Rich because I knew you would and you've no doubt got more knowledge about them than me.
Which brake controller did you end up fitting?
I've been looking at the Redarc ones and also the Hayman Reese. Must say I'm very impressed with how incredibly easy they appear to be, to fit.
I've been unable to find the official towing capacity of the LJ/KZ78's.
But I'd be more than happy tow LJ behind the 78.
Not sure what bearings or brakes they use or whether they could fit Toyot hubs, I'd have to check.
Regarding the solid bed trailer choice...........
I feel it would be a much more versatile trailer as I'm planning on renovating/building when we buy some where and if I'm picking car parts up a solid trailer will be much more useful.
The trailer idea isnt 100% yet as I've been thinking about how much of a nightmare its going to be having to stop every 2-3 hours because of the baby.
So I'm now thinking we could fly down to Melbourne, hire a car for a week or 2 while we get a house sorted. Then fly back up, load LJ and the entire contents of the house and garage into a 40ft shipping container that would get dropped off at our house.
Then we drive down to Melbourne, me in the 78 with Lexi and Bec with the baby in the Subaru and just take our time and do the trip over 4-5 days and plan the route so we can camp in national parks and state forests along the way.
Then just unload the container when it gets to the new house.
But we will have to see what price they come back with.
If their too expensive I will drive up and down 4 times and get the 3 cars and truck full of stuff moved myself, probably on my own so I can just get it done and not have to keep stopping.
