S.Latherton i recall the reply, i was seaching to see if it possible to tow your own carrier rather than spend an arm and a leg to go show your vehicle, clearly our pants country have made this not possible (again without great expense). i have seen some of the carrier mishaps on youtube, and specific length chains crossed at front and rear were my thoughts, this and the carrier sat on wooden plants for the tracks to bite into, and the bed of the truck to bite into the underside were also considerations

Richard, Some lengths of old rubber conveyor belt are ideal to have between the tracks and truck bed, once chained down on them it will resist any movement. I work alongside a heavy haulage business, and it is normal for them to do this with metal on metal. Re. transporting, a friend of mine used to transport his Windsor carrier on a small Bedford TK, with purpose built body. It fell below 7.5 tons loaded. Much more convenient, and cheaper in the long run, than paying for transport every time you want to go out.

yeah that may well be an option, it only matters really to get her back, i was going to register her for road use, so i can roll along the coast on a summers day every now and again.

I have had a class #1 license for driving the bigrigs along time.The big difference is If the trailer has air brakes you need a Class one .In western Canada you see hundereds of 3/4 tons pulling up to 30 ft fifth wheel trailers with heavey loads .They seam to get away with it but they are in trouble when they have to make a quick stop The catch is these trailers have electric brakes . I have a 8 ton Fruehauf military trailer that was used to haul the carriers .It is towed with a jeep and has air brakes that my 3/4 ton would take offence to. I will haul my carrier with a tandem 7000 lb axel car trailer rated at 14000 lb George

Grant, if I understand properly how you registered your truck I have a correction. In Ontario your plates must be sufficient to include the truck, trailer and load on the trailer and you will probably need a "D" licence. If you are over 4500 km you need a CVOR (free)as you stated. A log must be filled out if you are over 100 miles ??? not km. from your home base. It is also necessary to have a yearly inspection on the truck and the trailer. I am not clear on this last point but I was told by an MOT inspector that if you have the yearly inspection sticker on your truck every trailer you tow must also have the sticker. I question this but who knows. Just having a sticker on a box trailer doesn't make sense to me. I will try to get this clarified. Now you can also get a different "A" licence that you can't drive a tractor trailer but you are good to go with these 1 ton dumps and landscape trailers.
Cheers, Barry
