 Re: Leboncoin/eBay finds
the eriba isnt to heavy if its an early 1 the later pucks are heavier so that puts them over weight. dad tows his with a single choke aks400. slowly i admit but it did tow it. the ami has to soft suspension at times. the best we found was my acad. the longer wheel arch helps plus the 10-1 compression obiviously

 Re: Leboncoin/eBay finds
Just going back to towing something heavy:-Barry Willis has a tear-drop caravan he built himself, I was returning from Registers Day this year and there was very slow moving traffic on the A14, at the head of this slow moving traffic was Barry, towing his Tear-Drop at about 30mph
