I've seen a few and a few back yard ones The brake is hooked up via pull cable to the brake pedal lights are loomed in with a plug for ease. The towed vehicle has to be registered but not sure whether limited rego will suffice |

Is that braked or unbraked, it seem an awfully excessive ratio for braked to me Pretty sure QLD is different and goes on the towing capacity as per the manufacturer |

3.5:1 TOWING RATIO. The GVM of the motorhome must be at least 31/2 times the laden mass of the vehicle being towed. Unlike towing a trailer, which does not have steering, this requirement is intended to provide stability. All state traffic authorities require adherence to a towing ratio of 3.5:1. To find out how much weight your motor home can haul safely, you must consider the motor home's tow rating and the rating of the tow bar . Depending on the motor home's capabilities, you could easily tow a small car or four wheel drive. |

Also it's illegal to fit a hitch & go yourself. It has to be fitted by an accredited person or the compliance plate isn't valid. |

I downloaded the guide from QLD transport. From what I read 3.5 -1 ratio is only for unbraked. Maximum towed weight is as per manufacturers specs. You can fit yourself just need an engineer to sign off. Both vehicles need to be registered ( not sure whether limited rego is ok for the towed vehicle). You can use the car lighting or a trailer light bar as long as it is secured. I would still like to know the answer to my original question though. The dimension between the eyes for the towed vehicle |
