Car trailer advice

I’m not sure if this helps at all but we had a Bessacarr 795 on a 4.25T base with Alko chassis towing a trailer with a 2006 Ford Ka (with air con) which, from memory was about 900kg. We had no problems whatsoever towing. 

if your motorhome is capable of towing 2 tonnes & you only intend towing a max of 1550kg I can't see that there'll be problem

Hi Lee, I have towed a car on a trailer in the UK and France/Spain.  The trailer I chose is a Brain James trailer.  The current model is slightly different to mine but essentially the same size.  I wanted twin axles to avoid the pitching that a single axle could give, plus the added safety of four wheels should a puncture occur, as it may not be immediately obvious.

There are additional signs to display that you may need, particularly for Spain, but I will leave that for now.

My trailer has a gross capacity of 1600kg and a gross load capacity of 1200kg. The new ones increase these figures a little.  The trailer is easily manoevered when empty.  My car is a 2007 Fiat Panda that weighs just under 900kg, which with five doors is perfect for us.

Thanks for your replies. 

the next hurdle appears to be insurance. My MH is insured with the club, they have confirmed that the trailer and vehicle on the trailer would be covered 3rd party only. 
My concern is if I have an accident my car is not fully insured, my car insurance company seem to be at a bit of a loss as what is covered

Our Ka was still covered by its own insurance when towed but that was a long time ago and things may well have changed. If you read your motor policy carefully, you might find some clues.

As I understand it .... if you had a bump while the car was on the trailer,  any damage to the 3rd party caused by the trailer would be covered by your motorhome insurance. If in that bump your car was also damaged,  then your car's insurers would sort it.

Insurers like to pass the buck whenever they can.

If that is true then change your insurer.  You can be damn sure in the event of a claim they will know precisely what is covered
