Yeah, the further you go from the axle, the less it takes to become an issue, especially rearward.

Sometimes it's as simple as getting the plate restamped so that the ATM is the same or close to the axle group max. A lot of van makers just pull their payload figure out of thin air with no science behind it. Jayco is 300kg for single axle and 450kg for dual axle. Then you can have 2 identical vans, except one had the options fitted at the factory, and then the van gets weighed and plated, the other had the options fitted by the dealer, but since the van was already plated by the factory, one van has much less payload allowance than the other. The system makes no sense.
Yes, you guessed it, all my awnings and bed end flys were clearly fitted after the van was weighed and plated, as even empty I only have about 100kg left. I'd like to get my ATM lifted as well but wingfield is too far for me to travel. Should be something down south.
