towing a disco with an A frame

Range Rover Blues:
This come up frequently in caravns,trailer,camping forum.

Those motorhome you mentioned, are illegal.  The brakes on a trailer above 750kg LOADED have to conform to the 1987 C&U regs for trailers, they don't, they can't, they can't be adapted to.

They are all illegal.

Same goes for dollys. except where they have been fitted with overrun brakes rated in excess of the combined weight of the car and dolly, it is legal to have a trailer with only one braked axle AFAIK, if anyone knows different please correct me on that.

We aren't killjoys, far from it.  We know these things to be fact and would be remiss if we allowed a fellow club member to get into trouble by not mentioning it.

Came across a chap at the Abingdon 4x4 festival who was selling A frames. He stated he was using an A frame to tow a car behind a Ford Transit van on a regular basis and had branched out into making A frames. Also stated he was selling them through David Bowyer. Glad I didn't buy one!  :police:
