Yeah, I think we were probably just over the max train weight since the front van was loaded too. :roll:

Stupid and quite a nerve racking drive back from the Netherlands... But quite excting :)

This one is definatly within weight... although the trailer was a bit of a state, you can't see my old transit very well either :)

The best trailer I ever towed was this one that I made from a caravan base, towed it all the way to Bulgaira in my first smilely - these pictures were taken in Romania:
