There are some real cheesy trailer tires out there, can't believe the cheap China tires they put on my 5th Wheel when I bought it new. Wound up changing them out after the first season. Seen my wifes family up in South Dakota blow 3 tires on two different campers this summer. Blowouts can really tear up the camper.

Yeah, same in aussie, although I don't know if its a bad rule....as I always worry about things being towed falling off without knowing!
Anyway, I thought 'camping' was throwing the swag in the back of the ute and sleeping under the stars! None of the 'mod-cons' of the 5th wheel

What's a swag in the back of the ute? Tent in the back of the truck?

The only problem with this theory is that there is always somebody else out there that will tell you your way is the pu$$y way too. "You mean you actually used a match to light your fire? If you were a real camper you would have rode your horse there and rubbed two sticks together to light the fire"
LOL. Just busting your chops man. Just goes to show you though that it is all relative.

Its all good for a laugh
Yukon, a swag is like a sleeping bag, but made of canvas, just roll out and sleep on the ground. A ute is what we call our pick ups!
DC01, yeah, it's all relative, must admit my goosneck has toilet/shower/mod cons...I'm not holding a bit of luxury against anyone! But I do own a swag!
4inch, they are called road trains, but I think 4 trailers (awsome to see in action, best get out of their way if they're coming) might be the maximum allowed, and only on some roads...mostly the outback, and not in towns! They do hundred of miles on dirt roads (gotta feel sorry for the cattle in the last trailer).
I'm glad I can share some knowledge, albeit general
