what was that matt, the spare t?
i had t-rex on, left paris on the sunday night, before 10pm, plodding up the a1, spotted customs in the services, 2 miles up the road, they were on me, 1 pulled in front, 1 up the side, on went all the flashing lights, so i gave em a flash, and pulled in behind them, at the next rest area. think there were 7 of them in total, in 2 cars, the guy that spoke good english, asked why i was on the road before 10pm, i explained, and showed them a copy of the permit we all had. he then asked what was in the back, so, i told him, he looked a little bemused, he obviously told his colleagues, as they found this hilarious. surprise, surprise, i had to open the back doors for them, oh how quickly they stopped laughing, when faced with said t-rex

Any chance of pics of inside loaded trailers, always wondered how much stuff each trailer carries i presume its mainly the black cases on wheels.
Sorry, got stuck in catering, and by the time i’d escaped, this was all that was left.

how big was that trailer then gb1 ? looks like a lot of overhang on the back
Was full of good intention to measure it, but shortly after I took the photo, it started to snow, so I chose to stay in the warmth of my truck!
I’m sure someone better informed than myself will know what the maximum permissable length for a trailer in Sweden is.
Certainly wouldn’t want to have to load that one every night though.

If I recall correctly their domestic gross length limit is 24 metres (yes, even for artics) and you can have as long trailer as you want as long as it fits to the their turning circle legislation for those 24 metre outfits.
