Been to France 5 times for 4/5 weeks and 3/4 sites at a time, since "07 with an A frame, and never had the slightest problems with les Gendarmes or customs at the docks. We tow a Fiat Multipla on a Brian Cox braked Aframe and, yes, I can reverse with no probs. Dunno" if I"ve just been lucky but, on couple of occasions,I"ve had a chat with Police (French and English) who just seemed interested in how it worked. Did have a couple of "hairy" moments with other drivers not realizing we were "connected" and trying to get between the car and the motorhome and you do have to remember how long you are, that"s where a rearvew camera is essential ! I"m aware that Spanish police are not too keen on them, "tho I think that"s more a case of them being bloody minded and wanting some "fine" money.

Paul I think you have been lucky which ever part of France you were in. There's no problem in the UK but on one holiday 3" years ago I was pulled over 3 times my details taken and told it was illegal to tow a car like that in France and I was warned. That's why I bought a trailer for the car.

Cheers Jack, maybe , as I said, we were lucky. It was pretty much western coast and into Paris, Disney etc each time. Tho" I"d have thought they"d have "done" me as we"re really hard to miss, being a 30ft RV with a Toad is a bit unusual.
