[@christurner68]

Patriot campers a renowned to roll, it is part of its pedigree since the first model.

@@christurner68 G’day Chris, we had the trailer on some crazy angles after we adjusted the suspension and it didn’t rollover. But yes I definitely learned the hard way.

A good video,your about the only video that shows chicken track and footage of landscape,plenty of people want to do the track but as I said no one want to show chicken tracks,as soon as a video is made of easy tracks,it would make good video to watch.

Nice setup mate👍don forget to put a new cabin filter in. Ours was like a red brick after the cape.

[@TheRedRig]

@@dogg15 ok cool thanks, I’ve ordered a new one through Patriot I’ll replace the FJ cabin filter while I’m at it.

I'm suprised that it rolled so easily... That's makes two Patriots I've seen rollover on smallish obsticals now, I wonder if has something to do with the very light and short drawbars?

[@TheRedRig]

@@SteveBurns80 We had the cruise master air suspension set to high, it was still within the allowable ride height. I thought more clearance the better but I didn’t take into account less articulation. So I set it to the lower setting and it was a lot better. Just wish they told me this when I brought it 🤦‍♂️. The lower setting gives the suspension more articulation.

[@SteveBurns80]

@@TheRedRig That would explain why it looked so ridgid when it dropped in. Live and learn, I suppose.

[@TheRedRig]

@@SteveBurns80 Yeah we had it on a lot more serious angles on the northern end of the OTT and it was fine, definitely a leaning experience.
