Leaving aside the legal side of towing a toad.. what of the weight v your driving licence. This will really only apply to RV (American owners I suspect).. if you take the mass of the RV and the car you are pulling or towing on a trailer are you infect legal on your licence? If you have a C1 + E the combined mass is 8,250 kgs on the grandad licence.
If you look at your plate and add that to the wight of the car and A frame or the trailer will you be driving other than in accordance with your licence?
I.e if you have a 7.5 ton RV and you only have a C1 + E then the chances are you are illegal as you would need a C licence + e...
I know from RVOC we have discussed this in the past.. but how many RV owners on MHF are aware of the issues? If VOSA pulled you in for a road side check, normally plod are there and one or the other could add 1 + 1 and come up with a vehicle combination in excess of the allowed 8,250 kgs.
Just a thought.
