Grounding

It's little different to people who buy a low slung sports car and find out grounds over speed humps the triumph of a design for looks over practicality. Useful to mention it on here as others can give it some thought before buying a similar model I suspect awareness of payload issues is a lot higher than grounding issues both are due to the same cause poor design.
Speed bumps are the problem. Roads are meant to be flat and smooth, nothing else.
 
Last winter going to Morocco we watched 75% of the 40 foot artics getting on the ferry at Algeciras ground the arse end of the semi trailer on the ramp. Some so badly that they had to reverse off the ramp and try again at an angle. This ferry was loading at high tide, which made the ramp steeper. Tide height difference at Algeciras is less than 70cm but something we'll watch for next time and endeavour to catch a low tide.
