A-frames are becoming increasingly popular as motorhome owners realise the benefits of taking a nippy little car with them when touring.

You'll find it much easier to get around those tight Italian town centres in a Mini than in your motorhome and yet while you're on the motorways getting there, you'll hardly notice you're towing a car.

There are essentially 3 types of A-frame:

• Un-braked A-frames
• Cable-braked A-Frames
• Electronically-braked A-frames

Which A-frame to go for is a bit of a grey area under the law which stipulates that any trailer under 750kg does not need to have a braking system, however, it also says that any trailer, no matter what the weight, if it has brakes, they should work.

An A-frame is interpreted as a trailer when connected to a towing vehicle and we have a printable document for you to download when planning to travel abroad: Towed Car Disclaimer

Please bear in mind also, that A-frames, braked or otherwise, have no effect on your motorhome or car's ESP, ABS or standard braking system.

Here at Towtal, we've been manufacturing and fitting all three types of A-frame for years so please call us to discuss your requirements on 01782 333422.

P.S. If you're looking for a car to tow, we usually have 3 or 4 secondhand vehicles in stock so do give us a call!
