Do always remember that it is perfectly possible for British authorities to apply a stricter (and perhaps wrong) interpretation of European regulations than everywhere else. Also, don't forget that it is always possible that the worst of European regulations were drafted by British bureaucrats...

Now "Googled" German trailer manufacturers and found several interesting images. But of course as alstorer says, it's all down to interpretation and implementation.

Looks like there has been a decision by VCA and DFT over the last couple of days, see this link..

Doesn't really clear things up much. Each trailer will be judged on merit! In that case all that a trailer manufacturer has to do is add a feature which cannot comply with the regs and then the whole trailer will get labelled as SPV and becomes excempt!
Well thats how I read it anyway. ![]() |

I've published this now at
http://www.yachtsandyachting.com/news/168178/Vehicle-Certification-Authority-statement The key line I read was "The SPV must not be designed also for general purpose activities.", which tends to suggest that boat trailers must comply. But then they say that they can only give their interpretation and that it's up to the courts to decide. Definitely ![]() |

Well exactly. Cos I read that statement exactly the other way...a dinghy trailer can have no purpose other than to carry the trolley and boat...

Indeed. It would be general purpose if you put a flat deck on it for moving other stuff. Just wish the EU would pass a law forcing trailer makers to fit suspension that worked decently. |

Its a gloriously equivocal statement isn't it? If they were sitting much harder on the fence they'd have a post somewhere uncomfortable.
Think I'll stick to keeping an old trailer roadworthy... |
