Collected our Smart from Towtal on Saturday all "A-framed" and set off to a meet some 80 miles from Stoke - the A-frame was trouble-free, the Smart towed really easily, we didn't have to find space for the trailer and worry about avaricious glances at the trailer from passing travellers.....
I'll post some photos this week sometime to show the set up and for comparisons with other A frames appearance on vehicles.
Does anyone know if A framed toads should have red triangles on the rear when they are being towed as they are "trailers", or do the cars lights and reflectors suffice? The Smart does not have a lighting board as the indicators, lights etc are all operated via the towing connection to the motorhome. We have an "ON TOW" sign displayed and also the motorhomes numberplate slots into a holder on the Smart in place of its own numberplate when on tow, but there are no red triangles as mentioned in the trailer regulations............
PLEEEEEEEEZZZZZE DO NOT GO DOWN THE "A FRAMES ARE NOT LEGAL" ROUTE, just the red triangle question !!!!!
