Hi my name is Scott,
My wife has a 13.2 Welsh Section C and she would like a trailer. We've looked at one today. It's a Bahill trailer with the Serial number A1835.
It has no vin plate on it stating the unladen or max gross weight as I believe its probably too old to have needed one. The owner believes its around 750kgs unladen. Its a rear and front unload, steel chassis and alloy body.
We both passed our tests after 1997. We would be towing it with a BMW 328Ci which has an unladen weight of 1470 kgs and a max gross weight or 1895kgs or 1970kgs whilst towing. The braked towing capacity of the car is 1600kgs.
My question is as it has no vin plate on it stating the max gross weight but can I fit one? The trailer is about 750kgs unladen with her horse is would be about 1100kgs, so if I added a plate with a max gross weight of 1400kgs that should be fine and leaves another 300kgs for extras? I just don't know if I can just fit one!
Many Thanks,
Scott
