Does anyone know what the limits for towing are, for here and Europe.
I know the weight etc as i,ve looked at the G4orce site.
Its the length an width dimensions i,m after.

Re: Towing

Trailers up to 3500kg can be no more then 7 metres long & 2.3 metres wide in the UK. No idea about rest of Europe, i would imagine the same size applies to most of central europe, but not sure.

Re: Towing

Thanks Mark,
Same figures as i,ve found. I,m looking to buy an Airstream, but at 27ft+ i,ll have to find something else. Either to tow with or smaller trailer.

Re: Towing

Hmm,
What about all those big twin axle caravans, some of them must be over 7m surely? about 1800/2000kg more or less and on overrun brakes, who is selling them and how ( legally speaking )?if this is the case.
Just a thought.
