    You need not worry, you have a good combination and a twin axle tows better then a single axle anyway, just load it right, take regular breaks, enjoy the trip and dont make it a race to get there in the shortest possible   time, remember you are on holiday
    the moment you leave home. Don't take the kitchen sink etc there are shops were your going to get what you left behind, That first beer when your all set up on site is always the best one. Enjoy your holiday

    Write your comments here...Please don't take this the wrong way but as a fairly newbie, I need to learn as much as I can. Why does a twin axle tow easier? I ask because I have a single axle.

    Its not that they tow easire its that they are usually more stable than a single axle.There,s four wheels on the road plus they are usually quite heavy and in my experience a T/A van will almost always seem to sit quite level on the road.I ve had both single
    and twin and our current outfit of large 4x4 and t/a van is rock solid on the road.The only down side with T/A vans is they cant be turned by hand when they are unhitched so a mover is needed.

    I find that if you wind the jockey wheel as high as you can, it relieves some of the load on the front axle and makes it easier, (not a lot) to manouvre  Happy
