Ive just bought a car trailer for transporting my kit car on. As i only have a B licence, the GVW of my car must weight more than the GVW of the trailer.

My cars GVW is 1490KG's, so want to plate the trailer with a maximum gross load of 1450KG's.

The trailer I've bought is a converter caravan chassis, so currently has no plate, so i have bought this blank plate:



The manufacturer i will just make up.

The serial number, again i will just make up, but is there any sort of combination/length this should be.

The MM/YY i asume is year of manufacturer, so will make this up.

Its the weights I'm not quite sure on though:

GVW, is this the total weight of the trailer and car? so 1450KG

Axle 1 (its single axle), What would i have in here?

U/W? Would this mean Unit Weight? as in weight of trailer without car?


Thanks for any help on this?

Cheers

GVW is gross vechile wieght so basically the trailer fully loaded

Axle wieght is the max wieght on that axle. You only have 1 axle so without a hover board that will be same as GVW

U/W is unladen wieght as in empty trailer


I think
