Fitting towbar and towing a trailer

[Gunnersugden]

I have just purchased a talbot express hobby motorhome and would like to tow a small trailer with a motorbike on which would weigh in total 250kg. The picture shows the plate on my talbot but being honest i have no idea if i can put a towbar on it or not. Does anyone know please?

You probably need to find the Hobby weight plate to find train weight.

I don't think you can tow anything when no train weight is given in the VIN plate so it may be a non starter

So i would have to see about raising the gvw somehow i think. I have emailed the company that built it and am waiting for an answer. Thank you

By the look of the plate its had the gvm changed to 3100 from original 2,6** , and there is no train weight . so trying for a change of gvm will not help .
