exstending camping trailer

I have done better, i added a 2 foot box to the front to see what would happen. No problems turning or doing anything else.
shane.

Would it follow from that theory, that the trailer was illegal to start? Or is the length of drawbar prorata as well?

Cheers,
Wayne.

thanks for replies, Tony B, the links did not give a size or formula for the draw bar unless i mist something. So cant see a problem.
shane.
