As many of you know building a teardrop in our country hasnt been an easy project. The laws and more laws and beauracracy has been very stressful in the beginning. So now many here wanted to know what our EU approved towbar is and must be as of Jan 1st 2007. Even though we belong to the Eu our country hasnt ratified all laws. However I recently heard that changes will come again in May of this year to make all laws the same. Which Im real happy about. But ok here are photos of the towbars we are only allowed to use on the trailer frame with no welding what so ever. Not that I agree with these. But here for your viewing pleasure.
And on our frame the towbar was welded and of course had to be cut off and installed with the kind shown below. And in my opinion this is by far a weaker choice. However the politicians here who passed this law didnt even know what a trailer is or was. So if a tear is to be built here a person has to find the correct size towbar and then build the frame around that. This law pertains only to trailers built and registered as well as inspected after January 1st of 2007.
and here is the ever famous coupling of ours. Even though another can be used such as Al-ko. Even if the coupling is EU Approved and the towbar has been welded to the frame it will not pass ispection here.
