Not sure if it is approved by anyone, but I tow my twin axle tin tent with a Winterhoff WS3000 and the removable towbar with no problems. Just don't forget when it is fitted. It is about the same height as your shins... Big Cry

but you will have to clean it well if you want to use it with an Alco friction hitch. A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill. It does reduce the likelyhood of you dying when really, really ill. Stay Alive - KEEP AWAY FROM PEOPLE.
