Hi! Frans
To the best of my knowledge the UK does not need trailers licensed. The
first I knew of such bureaucracy was when my Son imported a Canadian
Honda CRV to Sweden and tried to tow a boat trailer !
Their authorities condemned the tow bar on the vehicle and insisted he
apply for a trailer license.
He had to get an approved electrical engineer to certify the electrical
wiring on the vehicle and have a new tow bar fitted costing a bloody
fortune.
Better not shout about your problem over in the UK too loud otherwise
our damned bureaucrats will jump on the band wagon and start making me
jump through impossible hoops with my purpose built trailer.!
Have you established it is enforceable in your country?
This just may be why it is appearing so hard.
I traveled to MT Propellers over the ferry and back along the autobahns
without any problem except for loosing a wheel when no one pulled me!
Regards
Bob Harrison.

Subject: Europa-List: How to license/register a Tri-gear trailer?
<frans@paardnatuurlijk.nl>
Hi everyone,
I bought my unstarted tri-gear kit #589 from someone else, together with
the factory supplied trailer.
Now don't laugh, but as easy it is to get an airplane registered over
here, as difficult it is to get a trailer registered.
I applied anyway, but it got rejected and it appears the situation is
hopeless unless I can produce the required information.
Now, with the European community, if a similar trailer is admitted
somewhere, there must be some European admittance number (don't know the
correct English expression for it, so it might be named differently),
and with that specific number I should be able to get my trailer
registered as well.
So, I would like to know if someone else got this type of trailer
registered (in a European country of course), and is willing to copy the
paperwork, and/or can tell me how he succeeded, that would be very
helpfull.
Does someone know the manufacturer of these trailers? Then maybe they
can help me as well.
