I tow a Kia Picanto on an A frame from Armitage Trailers. A heavy kit but chose it because it automatically has a jockey wheel which, along with a reversing camera allows me to hitch up on my own. Only tour in the Uk so no problem so far re 'grey' area of legality!!
I do however have a question which I hope a Funsters can help me with:
Can I use my second set of keys to lock my car when the 1st set are in the ignition to disengage the steering lock? My dealer thinks it will be ok but can't guarantee!
Just sold trailer and investing in a A frame from smart tow who inform me that there a frames meet all laws whilst abroad so lets hope there are correct

A Frame
Towtal A Frame on Aygo Automatic with overrun brakes since 2007.
Have toad as far as Spain in past but not since 2010. Excellent way to take car with you and be able to get to places that would be difficult with a Van. Also has the benefit of not needing to find somewhere to park a trailer. We are however considering a trailer for Spain etc.

No point in travelling miles to a beautiful area to be confined to a field. Mobility problems and a small dog make our car a must.

would a caravan not be more practical ?
With the exception of aires you can visit exactly the same places with a caravan..Modern ones are just as well appointed as motor caravans, and and many if not most can be pulled with an average size car.. or even smaller.. you certainly don't need a gas guzzling 4x4.. My dad had a Eriba Puck that he pulled with very small car.. went everywhere and used it well into his 80s.. I also used it and you wouldn't know it was behind you..
it was just a thought..

They don't need real evidence as their reasons are probably based on anecdotal evidence. He said, She said, My mate knows someone who knows someone etc etcBit puzzled.......users say they are safe. Authorities in a growing number of countries say they are not, so they have banned there use. Who is right and why? Countries must have evidence before introducing a total ban. What is it?
Who is right and why?
Interesting. One thing the law is very clear about is that you must be able to reverse any trailer without leaving the drivers seat.You will not reverse with an A frame on, as explained to me that with the car having 4 wheels it does not work as a normal trailer would when reversing.
It takes 2 mins to disconnect and with the jockey wheel down i can move the car and the the MH and reconnect.
As for the question regarding the keys, i use my spare in the ignition and lock the car with the other, if i was to stop off somewhere i would remove the key from the ignition, just remember to put it back in to take off the steering lock.
