We have a lunar quasar 6 berth with a rear dinette, with two storage lockers under each of the rear twin long seats. I'm aware that heavier items should ideally always be placed over the axle. However is it ok to still use the rear lockers for medium weight items? Been doing this for over a year without any snaking whatsoever towing with a volvo v6o. But I'm now wondering if its actually safe and we've just been lucky! OK so we store a cadac 2 (just the top parts) which is fairly heavy, 2 folding cheapo camp chairs, elec cable reel, pegs, a table and the wheeled grey water waste carrier. I'm guessing that cumitively this is possibly unsafe? Should I get rid /move bbq etc over the axle?
Secondly, inside over the axle there's cadac 2 (lower part), a 250 air awning (pretty heavy) a child's bike, a child's scooter and two reclining camping chairs. I'm now thinking this lot in total is overdoing the max allowed weight. (plus 1 15kg gas bottle and other various doodads in nose storage, plates pots, avtex tv etc, and often forget to empty the water tank, eek! ). I don't has a weighstation nearby or inclination to use one really but I could go through ditching, then weighing everything I suppose to check against the max permitted, balance what's essential. But does it all sound way more than a "normal" van load?
