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

You answered correctly. When towing a single-axle caravan trailer, it's important to check that your car's permissible trailer load and permissible coupling load are not exceeded. This ensures safety and that you comply with legal limits for how much your car can tow. Additionally, you should check whether you need to fit extra rear-view mirrors—this is required if your trailer is wider than your car, in order to maintain a clear rear view. It is not necessary to check whether the trailer is licensed to transport passengers, as caravan trailers are not meant for passenger transport while driving. These checks help ensure road safety and legal compliance when towing trailers in Germany.
