I called the RDW and they said they do home built trailers up to 750kg, which is the same for Belgium. Any idea where I could find the info that they would allow 850kg home built trailers?


Any way to remove 100kg from the trailer and then call it a "home built" trailer? Fenders, internal supports for the glider, spare tire, etc? Go get it registered, then put back what you need?
