Motorhome Matt

Can you tow with an A frame in mainland Europe?


Listen Later

Get ready for the debate: can you tow with an A-frame in mainland Europe? For years, there's been a cloud of uncertainty hanging over this issue, so this week Matt and Keith are here to set the record straight... right?

Tim Booth from the National Vehicle Crime Intelligence Service sheds light on the legal and safety concerns surrounding A frames in Europe. From the intricacies of vehicle type approval to the perspectives of law enforcement across the continent, Tim provides valuable insights that highlight the common views on this topic.

Next up, we're joined by Leigh from LNB Towbars to unpack existing legislation and explore the implications of using A-frames abroad. Does the Vienna Convention hold any sway for the British? How does type approval factor into the current legal landscape? And what are you going to do when faced with that officer telling you to unhitch the car you're towing?

We also hear about your experiences of towing in Europe, some successful and stress-free and others less lucky. Who knew that using an A frame could be so complicated?

In the news segment, Keith and Matt tackle the passport confusion plaguing British travellers post-Brexit. With new validity requirements in place, it's essential to stay informed to avoid any hiccups on your holiday adventures.
