Just as an afterthought, I'm just putting together a crude simple app to work out the loading and one horrifying calculation is the bikes, way out back of course, weigh 45kg but add 86kg to the back axle.

Help me understand this...that's the effect of the distance from the axel...The lever.. will that not reduce the load on the front axel ..
Hope that's not a silly question...

Spot on. 86 down on the rear axle and 41 off the front axle.

A big overhang, common to most C & A classes is deadly for the axle weights.

I'd give anything to move the back axle back 1m. The bikes would reduce from 86 to 63 on the back axle. Everything would improve.
