Fantastic; we're moving near to Rushden soon (Subject to contract!!!) so maybe see it around.

The big question has got to be: how's your reversing?

Dan


Give us a shout when you're moved, be pleased to show you around it.

Is there nothing you cannot tow with a showman's licence?


There are restrictions on speed etc when towing under a showman's exemption, plus it has to be used solely for the purpose of running a show.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Travelling showmen's goods vehicles and trailers. This is a goods vehicle that is permanently fitted with a living van or some other special type of body or superstructure, and which forms part of the equipment of the show of the person whose name is registered under the Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994. It must also be a vehicle registered under that Act in the name of the person who is a travelling showman and is the sole user of the vehicle for the sole purposes of their business.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Note the registration requirement.

I have yet to perform a decent reverse manouevre!

I know what to do, but years of trailer and caravan towing have conditioned my brain the 'wrong way'!

The drawbar was made deliberately long to make the towing more stable, but it may be too long to make reversing easy.

Peter
