Re: Finally

Frank,<br /><br />Does that trailer have the wierd European rotating tongue thing? Easy ladies . . . I have never seen that tongue setup in the states and I am sure others here would be interested in a picture of that thing.

Re: Finally

Yes Quietcat, the tongue can rotate and when pushed (car braking) it operates the brakes. Will get you a picture today.<br /><br />Bondo, here in Europe sometimes we can get the most fascinating ideas. Suppose you flip the thing over....you still have those auxilliaries (the top ones) . Those at the back are supposed to steer the bow softly in the right position (is this still about boating?). Still more tricks...in front is a hatch and when pulled it will tip the lot backwards.......have to make a dry-run one of these days....tell you guys all about what went wrong, promise

Re: Finally

BRILLIANT! A trailer that can be towed upside-down when necessary. What'll they think of next?! Us arrogant Americans need to learn to think outside the box like you folks a little more....<br /><br />I love it. Thanx for the pics.

Re: Finally

Thanks for the pics, Frank. That is exactly what I was talking about. We have similar braking here, we call them surge brakes. Our tongues are fixed though (the ones on our trailers, not the ones in our mouths).<br /><br />Oh, Crazy-one,<br /><br />That tongue would allow you to tow it upside down with out disconnecting, so you have to have those tires on there . . .

Re: Finally

If you hit the right pothole while twitching the steering wheel I bet you could "flip on the fly." That'd be too cool! It could be construed as a safety feature for towing empty trailers in a tornado or hurricane. Doesn't matter if it get's tossed around a bit...
