    Motorway hardshoulder rant

    I am totally against p plates etc as some see these drivers as a money machine.. It is all to common for people to cause an accident with a new driver and then claim it was their fault and get a huge payout on the insurance, new drivers pay more than enough insurance without being scammed to...

    Does this tow bar seem extraordinarily low?

    According to eu legislation... A towball should be a max of 450 mm from ground to top, I think the min is 370mm but will check.. Here is the good old copy and paste lol The million Euro question! The EC Directive 94/20/EC states that the towball height should be between 350 and 420mm...

    All I can find at the moment is this from the camping and caravan club website, but will look into it further as I am on the committee .. The Camping and Caravanning Club, like many others in the industry, recommends you only tow a caravan that weighs 85 per cent or less of your car’s...

    not sure if my disco is legal to pull my hobby

    The law says that a caravan must not exceed the weight of the tow car, There is a 85% rule that is not law but a guidance to keep your unit stable, When at 100% the tail is more likely to wag the dog so to speak, and that is when you are more likely to end up on your roof.. Trailers...

    not sure if my disco is legal to pull my hobby

    I read lots to keep us legal,, it's in practical caravan amongst other publications. Yes am very sure.. Just to add, if you take your unit and weight it at a public weigh bridge, weigh the caravan then the car separately, keep the tickets, if the police pull you for a weight check...

    Trailers and caravans are completely different. The caravan must not be heavier the the car that will get you a ban from driving, and police are cracking down on this, As long as the van is under 100% of the weight of the tow car, and the tow car is designed to tow that weight you will...
