Just got a reply from dave Cooper. Max rack they do for fixing to tow bar flange is 115Kgs load. So i think cheating a little i could look for a scooter at say 120 + a little. These things are always calculated with a good variance safety factor.

Problem with over 8mts is lot's of sites don't have the space..........alright if you are wilding. We will only wild if we are forced to. Ours is 7.93Mts.

Just can't get into leccy anything other than tooth brush.

Got to phone dave Cooper trailers on Monday as e-mails wont go through.

Thanks again Phil.
I don't see many 9 metres Vehicles on our travels, most seem to be 7-8 As much as I like the Idea of owning one, it just wouldn't fit on our Drive and It would struggle to fit on some of the sites we visit and as you say, many sites have restrictions.....

To be honest my experiences of Battery powered Items has not been great.... had numerous Battery powered Hoovers and they all die quickly... the Battery on the E Bike is only charging to 3 Bars now, down from 5...... We'll see how it goes with the Sur-Ron....

Dave Cooper Trailers is the other place I looked at a while back......

I'm still looking at other MH options but I really like the Mobilvetta and Adria A class at the moment..... Interesting to see second hand prices seem to have risen, same age and miles Swifts are up for £10,000 more than what we paid nearly two years back.... should get a good deal on a PX.

When I was looking, it was Dave Coopers that had the one I would have got..... Grom weighs 100 KG's so no problem there.... I guess 120+ would be fine.
