During our caravan club’s Traralgon muster we were made painfully aware of the importance of ball weights. I can tell you first hand that a heavy ball weight can cause undue stress to the individual and can cause him to make many unscheduled trips to the local car yards. In fact I’ve seen the said sufferer of this condition slumped over his computer muttering incoherently about towing capacities. I very much doubt that the cost of remedying this problem will be covered by BUPA, Medibank or any other health insurer so the pain will shortly move to his hip (pocket).
