Comments
I have a robin reliant bought for towing behind my motor-home.
I have had the idea that I could get a towing device made up easy.Then the mention of a kite mark and V O S A cropped up.....
So, my idea,
I would like the Robin to have the front wheel towed behind in a cradle so the rear wheels act the same as a trailer. The carrier clamped on like a bicycle carrier on the tow ball and the front wheel clamped down into the cradle. maybe using the wheel clamp as a ramp of some kind.
Your feedback into such a device would be greatfully received
thank you. Peter.
