Beginners questions - Lark Pop-Up etc

[SidKop]

Hi,

Looking at buying a Lark/Eagle/Swan (or similar) for our family. Had a few general questions that people might know the answer to:

- If buying 2nd hand, and it comes with the bag awning, is it possible, and easy, to retro-fit a Fiamma awning

- Does anyone have data as to the ball weight when fully loaded (as opposed to Tare)

-Is there a weight limit on the roof, and rack, when using the roof rack?

Cheers

Aussie units are quite different than those made in the US so you probably won't be getting much if any response. However enjoy your purchase and

ahh. Ok thanks for letting me know.

As physics doesn't have a nationality I would assume that the hitch weight will be in the range of 10 to 15% of loaded weight. And also how you pack the insides of the trailer. To much stuff to far back and tongue goes light vs. extra on front.

One thing I loved about my pup was how easy it was to add and subtract stuff. Those bag awnings come off very easily. I'm not familiar with the style you mentioned but you'll be working at hip level not over your head. I imagine it will be fairly simple to swap out.
