Heavy on fuel!

[Buckman]

We got the Jeep back from dealer on Thursday and today decided to repack it with our gear. A long and arduous task. LOL! I never realised how much gear we carry in the Jeep for long trips and when towing the caravan. Also some unnecessary "just in case" stuff which we have never used.

Anyone else carrying "too much" stuff unrelated to the car i.e. toolbox, etc

Guilty!

Have a clear out every now and then but it always seems to find a way to reload more stuff 🤔

Same here, mud slip mats, shovel, tow rope hammer, crowbar, shinny survival blankets, a week's dog food (Chicken and rice flavour) I think I would prefer that if stuck in the Welsh mountains, waiting for Buckmans breakdown truck. Way too much kit really.

We needed a heavy duty low loader for the Jeep! LOL!

I can understand that, a lot of recovery trucks are rated at about 4.5 tonne, MTPLM. So with our tugs at maybe 3 tonne not much spare weight on a recovery vehicle.

Jeep gross weight is about 2800kg and the caravan 2000kg. The Jeep had a lot of our camping gear in it. i.e. awnings, windbreaks etc,
