Rear Caravan Bumper Bar Additions

CHONGA,
At the end of the day, I think COMMON SENSE is the key to these sort of issues, BUT!!!
Common Sense cannot be bought, given or manufactured. It is a learning curve,and at some times it is an expensive lesson to fail.
Good thread.

G'Day,

I started this thread with the view of highlighting the lack of engineering capability of the rear bumper to actually SAFELY carry the additional load. The scenario I outlined was of a heavily weighted load on a rear bumper shaking up and down 100mm. As you know if you bend a piece of metal back and forth long enough it will eventually crack and/or break.

Good thread indeed and certainly food for thought for anyone wanting to add weight to the rear (or even front) of the van
As I said before, check your weights and measures before adding
