thanks Brooksy,

Haven't got one yet but that's a great link.

What are people's thoughts on fitting 285/75/16's to an independent set up on an off road chassis on a spacevan?   This is obviously the set up I'm thinking of.

Yep, definitely handy to match your vehicle and trailer tyres, but make sure you're camper can easily accept the larger tyres otherwise you're up for some expensive mods.

I think the Brumby handles those sizes without mods. I'm not sure the Daintree LE does.  Don't know about the Spacevan sizes.

I looked a putting 265/70/17 on my Daintree LE but it would require a body lift and spacers and/or a longer axle

Don't forget that when you raise the height, then any annex walls and draught skirts will probably end up a tad short.

Very excited, just ordered a brumby today, now just have to get thru the next 8 weeks till it is ready. Haven't been this excited since we got the cruiser! Goin from a $150 tent we bought ten years ago to a nice camper is quite a step!

One more outing in our leaky tent in the meantime....

Hi Elky,

If your Brumby is being delivered, MAKE SURE you check the under side of the camper on delivery, myself and a number of other myswag members have had trailers damaged by shipping companies.

What sort of damage? From a forklift possibly?

Whilst I am pretty diligent these forums are great for sharing this type of knowledge, nowhere to hide thing on the net!

That's right.

check for damage to brake cables and dents in the bottom of your panels and damage to your water tank. For reference photos see my thread.  >:(

I assemble new motorcycles as a hobby.

Some of them look like they fell off a truck when they arrive.  Crates bent buckled & squashed.  Some look like they had the tines put through the box not under it.

I've seen a brand-new outboard fall off a forklift at the distributor's.

Not surprised at the damage, no one in storage & transport seems to care much these days.

I have the max size you can fit on a offroad model. My CUB is a Spacematic with leaf springs. 265/75/16 ie 32 inch. This the biggest size  that will fit without modifying the actual internal arches. It is the wheel arch size that limits your tyre size.

Hope that helps.

Cheers, Chris

Recently my wife and I bought our first camper, after years of sleeping in tents I decided my back and body had had enough so we lashed out and bought the CUB Supamatic Escape with TC pack and several other extras.

I just finished doing a 12v upgrade on the camper so now we can charge up the battery as we go. A solar system may be added when I save a few more dollars.

Great to be on a Forum where people can share a common interest and share ideas.
