Hi All,

A CT Mfg is telling me that his 4 leaf Alko Shackle Springs are adequate for his mid range off road camper trailer. Base price of $6k but nearly $11k when properly kitted out.

He says the weight of the unit is 550 kg unloaded and that the Alko Springs are rated at 1100 kg.

The 4 leaf set up worries me a bit. Seems a bit light on. Have no idea of their length, but they are definitely only 4 leaf. Lay on the ground and checked I did.

I have just spent an hour trolling through the archives and found a lot of good info but nothing about 4 leaf set ups. Lots about Alko etc and using car springs instead of trailer springs etc. but little about Alko Shackle spring exception the mention thet Jayco used them, but the 7 leaf variety.

The CT in question is a Camper Factory one made here in Brisbane.

Any comments would be muchly appreciated
