Hi all, this mite be a mad idea but i am always thinking out of the box, now i have this pick up
It has a 1100kg payload, tow capacity of 3.5 ton, the rear axle payload is 750kg, now my main problem is the regs of a DIY built 5th wheeler, i would be using, up to now, a 50mm ball hitch ( unless other will advice different ) and removable frame hitch bolted to the tractor unit chassis, the main body will be around 12 foot from back of camper to tailgate of tractor unit and then 3 foot over the unit bed, as i will be building my own the CoG can be adjusted with the position of the camper axle to give the required nose weight, i believe is 150kg...?
Upto know this is all i have found out, but the main Q, what are the regs needed to both build my own ( as there are new self build rear hitch trailer regs ) is it the same with artic type trailers.
Do i need a certain type of category on my licnece for a unit of this type?
Please bare with me on this
