I have a dilemma about this:

Do I come with caravan, packed as for a week or two, or:

Do I come with vehicle only packed for a the same time but as if traveling faster...

Andrew, while you have the opportunity bring your whole rig including caravan. It gives a very good idea for future reference.

Martin, what’s the arrangements for the braai? Must we all bring our own everything? Just want to ensure I come prepared properly.

OK, the weighbridge is ready - lightening damage repaired.

On the day we have a few options:
1) weigh front axle,
2) weigh the rear axle,
Add the two to get combined weight,
3) weigh trailer hitched,
4) weigh trailer unhitched,
5).test the weight on the ball, indicate balance of the trailer.

Once everybody is finished, the braai will be ready, we will braai us some Kudu wors and rolls with, some chilli sauce.

Bring your chair and a beer or two.
Come enjoy the day.
