I need to do that soonest, 600mm is my estimate that I'll be comfortable with. It tows well behind my old D3 but not used the Defender with it yet.

All the weight is betwen the wheels above the axle. 70ltr water tank all electric powered, but I never fill it more than I need to, probably about 25-30lts. Only other heavy item up front is a Butane bottle, but that's a 15kg one.

I guess so. Today was wrapping the front headboard that didn't go to plan. My last sheet Evil or Very Mad . Went to reposition the wrap and some of the paint came away with it Evil or Very Mad .

So now sanded back to metal, just about to prime it and a new sheet is ordered for next week. Got plenty of Hammerite to get on with, not really bothered on looks too much as its not a show trailer, just functional.

My attempt at vinyl wrapping was a relative success. Not a perfect job, but I'm happy as it matches my Stornaway DC

I added this graphic to the rear door, the London Skyline. Did it mainly to break up the sea of Silver/grey and stop reflection to motorists behind

That's a compliment and a half coming from you, I'm still in awe of you're achievements. Gotta find a local fabricator to extend my A frame now
