A-FRAME THROUGH THE DARTFORD TUNNEL

<< < (2/4) > >>

Frankie-Boy:

By using an A frame you are effectively converting the towed vehicle into a trailer, now trailers have to be below 750kg otherwise they need brakes so unless you can figure a way of making the "trailer" brakes work, you are technically towing illegally, sorry.

Nick4X4:
look here about A frames  ;)

So all those motorhomes towing small cars behind them are illegal then?   Interesting :-k

NO - as they are below the 750kg limit (fiat 126 and cincequento thingies) also a few companies do a brake hook up conversion (read camping and caravanning - they advertise in the back)

JumboBeef:
Ah, but Smart cars are too heavy though, aren't they?
