Hi FYI
I know that a lot has been written about widths etc
I personaly thought that the max width was 2.55 metres but it is actually 2.3 for now
in europe the max width is 2.55 and as such we should see ours increased soon the result is due 16 feb 2010
see this link for details this relates to cars with a max of 3500kg
http://www.dft.gov.uk/consultations/open/2009-62/consultation.pdf
so if this happens then you can tow a full 760 hobby with your Deli
and as such they will be of intrest to travelers

the 2.55 is legal if towing with a commercial of over 3.5 tons

Item in C.C.C. Mag. New Regs allowing conventional cars to tow touring caravans and other trailers up to 2.55m wide.
Previously, trailers and caravans wider than 2.3m wide could only be towed by vehicles with a gross weight greater than 3.500kg. The change came in on the 20th April. |
