Ive often wondered about the legality of those very large vans that use a fifth wheel as the coupling and the coupling is fitted in the back of a pickup truck  :-\ , commonly seen when a fair is in town.  ::)

Come under slightly different rules as they will have air/power brakes ;)

A Land/Range Rover can legally tow a trailer of 4250 Kgs as long as the trailer and car have the proper brake conversion done ;)

Parked on you drive for a couple of days is one thing. Blocking out the light week after week will soon get on your wick.

Just book a Nice hotel when you need it.

I will have to have a proper look next time i see one......but i cannot imagine a fair ground type person bothering to his pickup truck brakes uprated and have air installed for the air brakes on the trailer  :-\ :-X
