I can't see how it's C1+E even. Looks like B+E to me and a dodgy one at that as the MAM for the trailer has to be considerably higher than the weight of the pickup even though it's split. Not sure...

I'm still unsure on whether that's legal or not. I think you probably need to talk to the NTTA or a Ministry copper. Bear in mind I've seen a few motorhomes based on 10 tonners where the company tell...
