We normally stay on sites and find that to get around to see different places of interest difficult regarding parking and the likes. Your input is welcomed.:thumb:I've just returned from a two week trip in a 2.8 it'd ,covered around 2200 miles,up steep hills down into 4th or 3rd!
Can't imagine what that would feel like with a car on the back:
just out of curiosity why would you want to tow a car behind you?

Kerb is with it sat in the road... No passengers etc..
Gross weight is what the car is with full compliment of passengers and I believe a bit of luggage...
That`s why I said it`s daft, cos you cannot tow a car on an A with passengers..

Holy shit will I ever get find something that I can towDont want to put the mockers on all your thoughts about transport... but...
I`m afraid that if your thinking of a proper trike like a Rewaco/Boom or any motorbike conversion... That is fitted with rear brakes.... even with front wheel off the ground the wheels on the road must work in uniform with the Motorhome...
The only legal way you can tow a Trike is on a trailer... :thumb:

Thats a no no as I had to sell my Vn 1500 Classic because Lou is scared to ride pillion. I lean right she leans left, you get the pictureDoes seem a bit unfair, the trike thing...
Cannot see why,,,, cos you can tow an unbraked trailer up to 750KG`s...
And even my (Sold now) Rewaco FX5 family trike , didn`t weigh that much. (Unladen)... :Sad:
I have seen in my travels a few with the bracket fixed on the tow bar... thus front wheel off the ground job.. But how soon before they get pulled... ?
And a good get out clause for any insurance company... as if they need one... oh:
I think your only option would be one of these = Broken Link Removed :thumb:
Have I missed something here??
My advice is to wait until the latter end of this year as[HI] A frame towing may be a outlawed [/HI]and possibly not feasible any more.
We have had many posts on A frame towing and as stated in the past it is down to personal choice. I tow a towed because it suits me and I want to and I can. Never found the need abroad as most sites and aires tend to be close to amenities. UK? hmnnnn!; that's why I have a toad "towed"
the problem arises with the braking system, not the A frame.
From november the ruling changes to EN ECE REGULATION 13 section 5.2.2.2 which basically states:
Inertia braking will only be allowed on centre axle trailers.
Definition of centre axle trailer......
"a trailer having only a single axle or group of axles which is positioned [HI]at or close to the centre of gravity[/HI] so that, when the trailer is uniformly loaded, the static vertical load transmitted to the towing vehicle does not exceed 10 per cent of the maximum authorised weight for the axle or group of axles or 1,000kg, whichever is the less."
If A frames are not outlawed (the law relates to braking, not the A frame itself) it would mean electrically operated brakes would need to be fitted.

I may be wrong.... but I always thought it was the Max weight they go by...
That to me sounds daft, as you legally cannot tow a car with passengers on an "A" frame...
Hope fully some one will be along who is a bit more switched on than me...
I tow a Toyota Aygo, which is similar to your beemer,,,, But I am OK cos it is stamped in the Log Book - Max Towing/Trailer weight not to exceed 2000KG`s..
