RC trailer
Was I seeing things or not I headed south on the A12 towards Brentwood Monday morning; I swear I saw a car no more pickup, coming the other way towing a long empty new dual axle trailer flatbed search The thing is, there was a third axle, right front, connected to the drawbar, which looked like a standard ball type hitch didn t much time to look through the dual carriageway, but I guess the front axle take all the load support and would rotate in the center that I read things in the LCV range, but it looked as if we could put it behind your car or better yet all knowledge of the images I can not find anything either on Google but I remember the discussions of the Forum on the idea, however.
I made a small trailer for research with tiller steering and turned the page.
Ahh good old Bateson Trailers not corner me Actually, I was there last Thursday to talk to have a new trailer built Anyhoo.
Steering axle trailers are very stable in tow and behave very well on the road, they are not affected by the turbulence Why are they not used as caravan chassis.
Well, two reasons come to mind that they would be a pig to level, but the biggest problem you basically n annihilates the opposite Having a trailer that was rear mobile display desktop running in a straight line was manageable, but to rotate in the opposite direction nightmare was feasible, but required patience, practice and time.
I saw the trailers before and it would be a better design were built with 4 wheels with one in each corner there are more than 100 years, it was modern caravan which was equipped with a single axle center who IMO was a step backward This type of design is identical to a fifth wheel of the front wheels act are the same as the rear wheels of the towing vehicle thereby making towing and stable.
There were four wheels with axles, two caravan with front axle available in recent years led but I do not remember who made it didn t sell and was withdrawn from sale shortly after launch.

Thank you, the whole world Yes, it must have been the Bateson I'd love to have a test drive, not that I had no practical reason to want, of course.
Hi to all the manufacturers I have seen so far in which German can go and get Anhaenger mit Pkw Drehschemel or google for it you will find many amnd It is only recently that the law changed by the attempt of EU to have the same ldriving licenses and vehicle groups accross Europe which also includes quite strange UK LOL law was hitherto the normal car license test was much more complete, having to learn much more for her than for todays car license, which you were allowed to tow trailers with a single axle and drive small trucks up to 7 5t one achsle a tandem axle trailer is considered as an axle if they are not apart of more than a meter so you can drive anything up to about 18 total weight 5tons on an ordinary car license the trailer the maximum authorized weight is 11t If the achsle were separated by more than a meter you need a driver's truck is for this reason that the American style towing devices in chassis were of no use as the car being towed is actually a trailer This two axles is different if you act on a fault emergecy tow a non-functional vehicle that is you can not be towed on the highway farther next time junction for another image in a oldstyle tweaked trade law Hawling at significantly reduced costs bypass the highest paid drivers and vehicle-trailer and taxes.
This is where you and are allowed to always drive with an old driving license style car before January 1, 1999 It s Truck with 7 5t 11t trailer with tandem axle.
No wonder the EU tries to end this, it s 12t on the new license if you replace your old and over 50 years otherwise below 50, it is 18 5t.
Since these trailers were exploring loopholes in the law is that in this size on the market in the second half of eigties, they were much more unstable than the traditional arrangement with a stearable axle at the front and fixed to the end.
With the new EU regulations on the tandem axles Siliness has become obsolete and now we get the same hub-style trailers to cars they run so much better and safer especially when harm to the trailer is loaded and also reduce the weight with which they press the tow ball.
It is not true that you can not reverse with them Most people who have reversed a supposedly normal trailer will have their difficulties with the trailer that goes in the opposite direction of the car The trailer turntable style goes in the same effect in reverse and you just get used I had a lot of very big heavy recoil experience behind a tractor loaded it was easy, but you had to look for not letting the axle to turn to a 90 degrees body of the trailer if the trailer may fall but I believe in not agriculturel trailers and these days there is a shutoff valve at an angle to prevent this, I never succeeded in reversing the trailer tractor with two trailers coupled behind the other, I think it's impossible.
In Caravanning American style 5 trailer wheels have now become more popular and it is also much more common now see towed behind cars campervans using a Framework Some of them require 2 pieces see the above image, which is permanently attached to a car, but you also get some Uk Ebay for up to 2 or up to 3 5t 5t that are foldable and secure towing frame the elements of management that a chain They cost about 125-180.
I found these two, the main difference is that it tightens the chain through the use of tow down radget straps and the other by the use of a long threaded screw use both the same kind of link to the vehicle mechanism.
Both are available on Ebay in the UK from different suppliers and both are available as 2 5 or 3 5t version The question is the mechanism in detail is better to you.
Now here's a thought, why instead of paying a minimum of 5000 to a turntable trailer used if you can find one to buy a van or a car of your choice with an engine failure Remove the two and get a safe closing with additional key welding in a base plate Remove the drive shaft and Gutt inside as far as you like cut the roof and do a cover of the trailer to fit your car in the type, style and color it will cost much less, even if your local body shop do the work you could even make the connection towing frame a little more permanent although a buyer on eBay mentioned that tow Transit 1200 miles on the Bristol motorway in Poland without problems or be stopped now that quite something not to be arrested by German police, especially since they have a Autob ahn Polizei is an independent PoliceForce like the railways and they are not as low as the key British police doing a patrol on the highway once in a blue moon.
It is important to know that if you have to obey the traffic rules of the country such as speed, parking, alcohol limit other rules are those of the country of your vehicle is registered or your driver's license is issued by example my trailer is homebuilt, has no MOT television and I pay no road tax to her trailer in Germany can not be homebuilt and must pass reguereous tests every 2 years on TV, like German cars do this applies to commercial trailers or other guests besides that attract roadtax all trailers and must be registered with the German equivalent recreational trailers DVLA registered individuals are free road tax, but only allowed recreational trailers are boat trailers and trailers for gliders and horse boxes, I think caravans are also free, but as they drive t pa yer tax they should not be left on the highway as the UK without being physically attached to a vehicle paying tax.
In all my travels Gemany I've never been arrested because of my trailer UK homemade.
You can pretty much operate to Europe you never pay for a parking ticket fine you receive in Germany if your car is on a British record of the German police will not let a bad feeling with tourists visiting other country, you will get not even one oif you deserve I know a case of a french relative of mine being towed to a taxi rank in Berlin and did not pay anything.
While the German police, as the United Kingdom and France or the Netherlands Persue parking tickets in neighboring countries The UK has obtained not agree with Germany and Visa Versa You will not get on a wanted list and wrong parking or even a speed trap or red jump ligth did not constitute a criminal offense, but you Persue all the way to England if you dissappear accident, even when no injured before the police there to take all the details of all parties envolved.
Finally, I noticed my wife British license that the license has swapped french different parts that what my German license.
Of my best friends allowed in the UK issued before January 1, 1999 I noticed that only small details differ, he was given some license when he traded D is pink in the UK against license card UK, he is allowed to drive his car Minibus driver license until 11 Definately a benefit of a license in the UK on a German which stops at 8 1driver.
If you changed the oldstyle release against the new style is what you got.
There are also mopeds and tractors included If you keep your old style driving license pink or even an avant pink old laws are still valid and you can drive up to 18 5t stll ridiculous and without time limit the age of 50 years.
So do not swap your old license against another.
As a final thought Regulations in Western Europe where all quite similar, sensitive, although slightly different these differences logical presence in the country in which they were valid in.
I present my apologies to drift too far from each side of related subject son and I hope I didn t you too hole I put together a photo showing a lightweigt trailer with a steering axle drawbar available on Ebay German for approximately 10,000 it weight is only 300 kg and looks very cool Enjoy.

Hi Penny, The dream is closer, more beautiful and easier.
It is called a fifth wheel class This one is a little less than 30k not more than a house of a car, you need to pick up American, Japanese or German VW Even a double cabin with a cargo bed will Onto which is equipped with a small sadle and trailers are available up to 40feet long and up to 4 or 5 slideouts course you can holiday in the States and buy it there for about half the new price if you buy at the end of an exhibition need a tow truck course things US is 110V instead of 240V But for the first few years, we could have a vacation there in your 5th wheel and the bring the costs are about 1000 to New York to the UK and you have to pay UK VAT but they are fresh, some of them have two bedrooms, a master bedroom at the back separated by a walk in bathroom to the living room the other end of the bit that is in part on your tow vehicle platform pickup you have a second child 3 bunk rooms with toilet bathroom rather than having to publish a lot of pictures here, here th e link to one of the few UK suppliers bunk 4551782025.
Parked in your drive, it is actually a completely autonomous wonderfull visitors flat much better than inviting the night in your house could even be nice for a romantic dinner and night for you, even if your own car parked in children.
So do not swap your old license against another.
In the UK when a license is exchanged all previous rights will be transferred to the new rights with professionals C and D to a medical examination is required at 45 and every five years up to 70 when it is reduced to every year without medicine C and D rights will no longer be valid on the date shown against them on the license.
It is useful to keep a copy of the former DVLA license have been known to issue replacements with missing rights as they destroy old files permit there may be lots of trouble getting the REINSTATED under the direction of beejay March 1 2012-12 05 pm.

As beejay said I heard about this a few times people lost rights in the switch.
This could be the answer to the eternal problem of caravans carrying more equipment, so heavier, while cars, energy efficiency, get most of the lightest diesel cars especially now appear to have a towing capacity of more than 100 of their kerbweight, which of course is potentially dangerous for towing a caravan, but they could safely tow a caravan built on one of the trailers.
There is a real problem with the upper class of motor homes now excluded from the normal driving license even 2 s tone suddenly Sharan Galaxy 3 5t these days is very little in terms of a motorhome and industry loses on many business these days.
The license of my wife she exchanged the UK were all missing rights, but it passed before the deadline in 1990, it was not a copy of its former foreign license of the EU, but it does not care as she said she did not intend to drive anything larger than a normal car or even a trailer Grrrr room, pushing me, no, she can not even help me, if he funny is required is the attachment Quiky UK for points it is still there we never had anything like that in Germany, there is no need intercepting Any font you first check if you have a valid license, never mind if you gave it to them, it has always been the standard precedure as long as I can remember, my father checked in the 60's for the police to back radio check the actual existence of a license presented all records points received is the same place as are the registration of the securities issued court order licenses and restrictions are maintained no point of having a separate sheet Introduce a continental policement if you request your license and it won t even know what to do with LOL.
It is dangerous to have a traailer which is heavier than the car because it disables all abilty stearing of the car when the trailer pushes from behind Trucks and Trailers have air brakes There are electric brake robots to be attached to the Padal braking of a towed car without a driver behind a caravan they are exploited by the current flowing to the brake lights But the engine is not running and the brake booster does not work, they can take over passenger cars under Smal existing law, I think you are allowed to tow a trailer that is not heavier than the car if it brakes of the trailer usual type of caravan or only half of it, if it has not brakes.
More suphisticated brakes could be on their way, but most certainly the MOT test for the caravan trailer and a tax on possible route, it would be difficult to administer and check the MOT trailers Caravans if there no database to check against this wouold be the basis of the road tax data for trailer caravans then of course if this happens caravan and trailers must have their own insurance If all I sometimes can park legally on road queens just in front of my neighbors house.
