Hi all,
I want to tow my Aixam 500 Diesel on an A Frame (braking system added for safety) but I am getting conflicting information.
I am sure I have read that at least two MH towers have towed an Aixam over thousands of miles with no problem but I have also heard others saying an Aixam cannot be towed because it has a CVT transmission and although it can be put in "neutral" it is not a "real neutral" because the centrifugal clutch still causes the turning road wheels to turn the transmission and thus the engine too...or is it that the transmission still turns and this could implode after a several miles of towing???
Whatever at least one A Frame manufacturer/fitting company warns against A frame fitting to CVT transmissions ( but is Aixam different to Honda etc???)
Anyway my real question is anyone out there who HAS successfully towed an Aixam CVT vehicle please, please could you tell me of your experiences as this question is driving me bonkers!
Thanks!
