I’ve had a first short test drive towing a trailer.

The trailer is an old Erde 100 which I’ve refurbished and swapped the sides for the top box.
The tow bar is an A frame which goes back to the chassis extensions, but is also fixed to a sub frame on the body.
The real headache was getting a 6 volt indicator warning buzzer. In the end I’ve used a reed switch with the indicator wires wrapped round it a dozen times. At first I couldn’t understand why it wouldn't work but then realised that LEDs don’t pull enough current so I’ll have to use incandescent bulbs.
All good fun.
Cheers

That looks great Howard, really cool!
