We had our first trip out at the week end with Gracie & Nyala, we picked Gracie up on the Friday morning after having the springs done but she still sits a bit low, does any one have any idea of the tow weights for a 68 Amazon Estate? i will get round to posting the rest of the car show photos later, well the ones he took between the showers 
and that was without these two in the back - another reason to get an estate

Jack up kit, red light on the rear axel, fluffy dice and dixie horn seem the way to go, no more problem with the low rear end.

Great set up! We would love an estate, but half decent ones are like gold dust!
I like your towing mirrors, where did you get them from?

Hi
Have you got coils on the back?
I put those rubber inserts into the coils on a 200 series estate and it levelled it up nicely

Brian M also tows with a Amazon and he found some the same as he uses on Ebay and sent us the details so we just did the but it now but you can still get the original stems to extend them |

That looks like a superb set up! Is there a thread with pics of the interior of your caravan anywhere? Sorry - I just asked out loud before looking
