What's the reasoning for no 5th on the door / a carrier?
Personally I prefer the look having the spare on the door |

i see, i built my own rack as my spare is rather large also.

Well I tried the Trailer on it Today for the 1st Time
![]() To say that I've NEVER towed anything before I think that I did rather well ![]() Managed to get it out of the Garage ok & off the drive. Drove it for a few miles with no probs, didn't hit any kerbs or anything either lol Then I managed to reverse it back onto our drive in 1 go & into the Garage without touching anything ![]() All in it was a positive experience ![]() Just need to keep practicing with it now. ![]() Click image to enlarge ![]() Click image to enlarge |

Been out doin some trailerin 😐 Found a nice big car park that I can do plenty of reversing & manoeuvring. Getting better & this was my 1st time with a car on't back & my 3rd time in total 😎 Still need more practice but I think I'm getting there 😁

@ Xelr8 Congratulations on your new venture! Very smart looking set up you've got - your 110 is a corker! Are you old enough to have grandfather rights in relation to your B+E entitlement? Or did you have to take the trailer test? I keep thinking about doing mine, but not got round to it. I'm also guessing you've head to get your head round tachograph regs, which from what I've heard from others on here isn't the simplest thing in the world! Out of interest what did you do before you started up with this new transport venture? 2005 Td5 | 90 Station Wagon | Tonga Green
