You want to tow a singe-axle caravan trailer behind your car. What must you check?

When towing a single-axle caravan trailer, it is essential to check two main factors.

Firstly, you need to verify whether the permissible trailer load or the permissible coupling of your car is exceeded. This ensures that the combination of your vehicle and the trailer is within legal limits and safe for driving.

Secondly, you should check if additional rear-view mirrors need to be mounted due to the width of the trailer. Wider trailers may obstruct your view, making it necessary to improve visibility for safe driving.

The third option about the trailer being licensed to transport passengers is not relevant in this context. Generally, passenger transport is not a consideration for regular caravan trailers, which are primarily designed for carrying goods or living space.

Understanding these checks is crucial for compliance with German traffic laws and ensures safety while towing.
