Hi jadatis,
The rear axle was not over loaded--but the tires themselves were. The driver's rear was 12% overloaded. Never the less, they went 107,000 kilometers and were 9.5 years old.
That was why I went to different wheels and to the 235/85R16 configuration.
I will move the generator over to the passenger's side. It is on a rack at the back of the RV which goes into the trailer hitch receiver. The weights in the original post were with it favoring the drivers side a bit.
That they lasted that long was probably because of the lower speed you use, so it was still save for the tires.
Where the old tires also E load ? If theywhere fi F load they could still carry the Axle load with 4 tires .
and your generator is way behind the rear axle so it gives , when you put it more tho the right (Passenger side) more load on rear right, wich is possitive, but less on front right. So this wont help highening up rigt front , where the weight difference is more worse then back.
Some people put a motorbike on the front, so why not a generator,
Mayby you can make an electrical connection there somewhere.
Sometimes under the co-drivers seat under the cabine, there is some space.
For this post I am using everything of my spreadsheet.
Give gawr in lbs tires also in lbs, but given loads in kg , so using all the possiblities of the spreadsheet.
Was looking at the posting time of you and capri-racer about 6 o clock in the morning. You both are early birds.
My post was in the middle of the night for you but here in Holland 8 hours later. Holland summertime of this post 19.48 so 7.48 in the begin evening, see the difference.
