Amarok and camper

[FinAde]

Great pics. Sadly no speedboat yet, but it does have a swimming pool on the roof at the moment . Bit cold to try it out though

Oh, not again!


your going to have to contrive a tent like one of those garden marquee's to keep the rain off

[Hawkeye]

so is it possible to actually tow something behind with a camping unit already loaded didn't know that possible certainly not seen that done

[zildjian]

when we looking around to buy our first camper there was a seller who actually hooked up his glider to go off to airfields all over the UK!

that must have looked quite a handful to tow

and those trailers are about 30' long as well


are there pictures ?

Ok to tow with short campers, but with things like my SKarosser EC6 with a rear overhang, the towball is a metre under the rear, so as I occasionally want to take my small German camping trailer I plan to have the drawbar extended by a metre to allow it to span the gap.

The previous owner of mine towed a microlight with the 'wings' on the camper roof. All very James Bond

Not got it now, but someone gave me an extension bar for mine
about 800mm long I think I would only likely need it with a horse box and wouldn't really trust it myself, it would have to have a substantial chain on it as well
and on any case then its 55MPH so thats out

I'll only use it with my small Erde type trailer for throwing 'pain in the neck to pack' things in if we're camping fairly locally otherwise I'm back to the minimalist mentality.

I certainly wouldn't risk extension bars on my bigger tipping trailer, that's well over two tonnes loaded and might already fall foul of new tacho rules depending on hpow you interpret them, and also how VOSA or the plod interpret them at any given time.

[zildjian]

Oddly mine came fitted with a digital tacho,
I also have a class one licence to go with it,
But as you say, it wouldn't be such a good idea with anything other than something small behind

Tachograph, unusual in a 'car' why would you need one of those, is that something you had installed?
