Caravan & Camping club book September page 54 states A frame's are legal trailer as long as braked and lights work iin the UK and other EU countries should allow them as legal in UK for UK residents.
If I read it right

Is this a new subject thread John
I concur with John, the CCC mag does indeed appear to support the legality of the A frame
Despite others comments, a legal test case is yet to be tried
Bob I'd be happy to spent and hr or two chatting over the laws with you
After a pint or two we may even agree:thumb:
Bring yer guns in case we dont
Bring em anyway I like looking at western replicas:thumb:

If I recall we went over this old chestnut only a week or two ago? It is all in the words . BRAKED... what they do not deal with is the weight of the towed vehicle against the towing vehicle. Vehicle use and construction regs apply... more than happy to bring my Wilkinsons Road traffice Act books to Bath & West or Lincoln and discuss it with anyone who is interested. Very boring law. But when I see some of the vehilces being towed I have my doubts.

I should think a few of us would be interested in discussing it at Shepton.

I understand exactly what your saying but only agree with a small portion of itjust out of interest have any of you that tow on an a-frame actually sat in the toad whilst being towed???
i sat in a car on a frame and took mental notes as to how it steers and after a very sharp U bend decided that under no circumstances am i putting any car i own on an a-frame the stresses these put on a car can not be good for it or the rear of the motorhome.
if you imagine a single axle trailer and how it pivots on the axle this is how the car on a frame tries to turn but there is no pivot point in the middle so it drags the front one way and pushes the rear sideways on this non existent pivot point.
if you don't believe me take your toad to a local supermarket carpark and try a couple of sharp turns and watch or better still get someone else to drive the motorhome and sit in the toad.
trailer for me every time now it really opened my eyes

Do you need a pet passport when you tow your toad abroad?

I dare not take him to France might be mistaken for a frog and some hungry bugger nicks his legs
