Hi all, I just bought an under tub water tank from these guys: https://www.underutetanks.com/products
The tank mounts off the same points that the tow bar is mounted too. Does anybody know what torque I need to apply to these bolts when I put them back on? I don't really want to lose my caravan because I didn't torque them up correctly.

Cheers,
Evert

A few Online lists I looked at give from 109 to 135. I would consider those dry thread settings.
