Trailers

More and more people are traveling around the country with a trailer. There are several things to keep in mind before setting off. Here we go over the main points.

Examples of What to Consider

What is the maximum permitted trailer weight for your car?
What is the total weight of the trailer and the car, and have you ensured that the driver is licensed to drive that combined weight?
What type of tow hitch do you have, and is it compatible with the trailer coupling?
Do you have all the necessary safety equipment such as lights, braking system, and a safety chain?
Have you checked the weather forecast for your trip and taken into account that trailers catch a lot of wind? It is not recommended to drive with a trailer if steady winds exceed 15–19 m/s or 15–25 m/s in gusts.
