Great video, I’m looking at getting one of these myself. What I can’t seem to find out is does the car that is being towed have to be taxed, mot’d and insured. Thanks
Hi thanks for watching. I have motor trade cover so its not something I've had to think about. Legally its only allowed for recovering a non running vehicle as far as i know. But then camper vans tow cars around with them all the time so dont think that's enforced much if at all. I would say you don't need to have any of those 3 you mention if its being towed. I could be wrong tbough not much info available on it.
very nice and informative video, just wanted to ask how does it work with the legalities? technically from the little info i was able to find an unbraked trailer cannot exceed 750kgs? just curious if you had any issues or recommendations, no hate
Hi thanks for watching and the excellent comment, you are correct, however this is not classed as a trailer i believe, it's only really for recovery of non running vehicles to a garage, technically. I remember reading that when i was doing research on it. Also the vehicle being towed has to be broken down or a non runner, so not for transportation of running vehicles etc. Hope that helps.
How do you get around the law that towing over 750kg requires the trailer to have working brakes controlled from ur vehicle when towing with the A frame the cars also becomes part of the trailer so very much exceeds the 750 kg limit
Hi thanks for watching. If you dig deep enough you will see its legal as long as vehicle is a non runner or for recovery purposes only. Its a pretty grey area to be honest hard to get definitive info.
no idea why this was on my main page, but i watched the whole thing. very nice.
Thank you for watching much appreciated!

This must be amazing for long distance flat towing.
Hi yes its great to tow anywhere to be honest it handles the road nicely. Thanks for watching!

If u dont have any key for the car to unlock steering wheel, can it still tow it? Thanks.
