5th wheel coupling to tow a bandsawmill

Recommended Posts

Since a 5th wheel set-up is allowed to be 12.2m long (tlr) and 15.5m overall length, regardless of the weight of the towing vehicle.

And sub 3500kg is Tacho exempt?

And I got the Steyr Puch Van.

Can I mount a fifth wheel coupling on the Van roof:001_rolleyes::confused1::lol:.

To save buying a pick-up, or butchering the Van

Or is there some maximium hitch height requirment.

With the legal since 2011 electric brakes:thumbup:

If it means I can legally tow a trailer/mill longer than 7m (which it would be, being 31') without buying another vehicle, would probably be cost effective.

I know a trailer builder who should either modify the rig for me, and therefore plate it.

Or simply, after a satisfactory inspection of my own modification works, plate it.

It would also, jesting aside, give me valuable space in the back of the locked van for transport and secure storage.

It would also be sufficiently different so as to attract attention.

Though that might just be a red-rag to VOSA
