Land Rover has shown a trailer towing monitoring system called Trailair which checks tyre pressure and temperature when towing caravans and other trailers. Though it's a bit expensive in my opinion.

Seems to have been a low key launch but will make things safer whilst towing trailers as quite a few people do especially on this forum

how about "landrover, pull over there are cars behind you" a product for vanners?

To me seems that is nothing to see in the interior mirror when towing...
So is a proper place to put some info in that situation.

I thought that CG would change his attitude to us enlightened ones with caravans now that he has a trailer. Anyway whats the trailer for and by the way don't forget that you are restricted to 50mph on the roads with a trailer on the back. You dont have to worry about the 60mph limit as there aren't any dual carriageways or motorways that far north are there? Ralph

I've had a trailer for years , In fact I replaced it due to it being worn out. On of its many uses is transporting all the stalls that the local village uses for its 'open gardens' church fund raising day.

But your type of trailer holds every one up CG 20 mph, bales falling off, mud on the road, no lights need I say more?

Is it me or has the text on the postings changed?

+ overloaded, swaying down the road, bald tyres

ad, it's you (No change)

The postings just seem to be in a different text, slightly bigger and slightly bolder? must be then.

But what about the trailers lights and carrying more than a Artic without the need for an O Licence or Tacho, tut tut

I saw one of the JCB tractors today towing a trailer wich was basicly the back of a Skip lorry with a skip also, never seen one like that till today yet excempt from the rules that LGV's have to abide by.

My tractor and trailer weighs 21 tonnes when loaded with 11 tonnes of grain. The maximum weight allowed for an agricultural tractor and trailer is 25 tonnes.
Tractors can carry bigger loads for commercial work but need to abide by a whole new set of rules, including full HGV type air brakes At work
