Dont realy have one mate but i hope to put the trailer over the weigh bridge soon.
The disc brakes wernt much more than drums and i like discs alot more. Less to go wrong and far easier to work on.
I recon not including the rolling stock the trailers probably around 150kg at this point but im only guessing

Been working on the plumbing and electrical on the trailer side of things before i glue the floor in.
I stripped the hitch and jockey wheel of yesterday and sanded the drawbar and gave it 2 new coats as it was looking a bit tatty.
i ran the Twin core battery cable and trailer light wiring through a grommet and inside the drawbar so it looked tidy and had better protection.
Ive decided to fit a tap up front for washing feet, filling buckets and running the hot water system if and when i get one.
Rest of the day ive been planning out where to route the plumbing and fit the water pump, filter ect.

Anyway heres a few pics.
The all thread on the front tap needs to be shortend and proper saddles to hold the braided hose.

Looking good now. You can weigh it by using a bathroom scale. Lift & set back down at each point on the scale, then just add up the different weights to get the total. Simple & easy to do!

My scales are glass! Lol
I am going to run it down the weigh bridge soon. Wish me luck, no real idea what it will weigh but its going to be on the heavy side.
Keep in mind though my hatch ,galley and internal cabinets are far lighter than most due to the minimalistic aproach.
I dont mind to much if its heavy. I wanted it to be able to go anywhere pretty much and im hoping ill achieve that

Well the plumbing is 90% complete and like everything else on this build ment improvising alot and using parts for perposes the wernt designed for.

i hope works.
