Strapping a shopping trolley to your rear bumper...

Are these trailers or an extension of the tow-vehicle?!

Whatever they are, they look a bit nutty!

well they say an extension

"We consider the system an extension of the fifth wheel chassis frame. We do not consider it a trailer."

A frequent question asked is if the Swivelwheel system is legal to tow in all states. There are basically 22 states that do not allow double trailer towing, which some call "Triple Towing".

So they've made something that's not legal in most of their country...

It looks like a good idea (ish)... not sure I'd be carrying a hefty bike on a platform with a single wheel though!

My grandad had a similar think that he got with a Morris 1000. It had just one central castor. He had it bolted the the garden wall for the milkman to leave milk bottles on.

I remember a trip to Le Man where we set camp them went for the customary shop, somehow the shopping trolly made it all the way back to the camp site, does that count?

Took 10 of us to get the euro out but we was a bit sozzeled

Oh and it cost me a shirt before we could even go in the shop but that's another story.
