We are planning on taking our Auto-sleeper to Spain early next year and want to tow our Honda Goldwing motorbike on a trailer. Not sure what trailer to get and would appreciate any help from anyone that has done/doing this.

Check the train weight of your MH on the weight plate (maybe under the bonnet) this is the highest figure shown probably the 4th line and then work it out from this.

Hi there,

We tow either a trailer or a boat on a trailer on most trips without any problems.

Both trailers are unbraked so they are restricted to 750kgs maximum (trailer + load).

Double check your maximum towing allowance as Murph suggests but, as a general rule, almost all vehicles are capable of towing the 750kg unbaked trailer.

Check out Halfords on:

For an example of what is available; and well within the capacity that you require! allthumbz

Best regards,
