I know his name: Recaro

If the passenger hadn't remained tightly held in his arms....the passenger would no longer have a head (good for him, it's not a vital organ) : Cheesy:

Uh if I want to tow this trailer with a French car or resell it one day in France, I need a CG because more than 500 kg of GVW...

For this you need a certificate of conformity: apart from the axle, new, I have no identification or number on the trailer.

So question: do certificates of conformity exist for single axles??? :?:

Yes I understood Macro well so I will try to contact the manufacturer with the original plate… if there is a misunderstanding, it can work… : Cheesy:

The manufacturer still exists… otherwise too bad I would resell it in Belgium or elsewhere one day…

For info, please went to see gray cards and I had to explain to them how the trailer regulations worked!! : Cheesy: :?

I contacted AL-KO and BPW...

From what I understand about the philosophy of trailers, anyone can build a homemade one, right?

So if we use 750 kg axles, logically the axle manufacturer must provide a document in order to be able to make a gray card, right?
(no no no, I wouldn't go to the mines with it!)

To be continued...

In France... As long as it's something under 500kg.. You do what you want, it's open bar... Beyond that, it's RTI with gray card and file that goes with it...

To make an rti as an individual... Good luck
