Thanks….already thought of that will balance the trailer ….the trailer has a load capacity of 500kg ( gross 750kg ) unfortunately the existing system won’t take the weight of an E bike
all because of a bad hip ….
I wouldn’t be able to use one without making some big changes first as my caravan noseweight is around 95kg’s already.
But a mate uses one on his caravan and it looks like a good bit of kit.

@CRS Performance sorted my suspension. I did explain that I tow and hoofing big twin-axle caravan. (He does like to know what people intend doing so that he can set the van up accordingly!)
Mounting the bike on the A frame is still adding weight to the trailer, so how will it be different to what you are doing now?Thanks….already thought of that will balance the trailer ….the trailer has a load capacity of 500kg ( gross 750kg ) unfortunately the existing system won’t take the weight of an E bike

Plus, it will seriously compromise the amount of bend you can have in your outfit, so restrict tight turns.
I think @VanDamMan is probably referring to the load limit for the Anssems trailer top which is rated to 100kgs. I would have guessed it would be ok though.
Yes ..top limit is 100kg…but still no good as Thule proride only allow 20kg ( most carriers of this type are all the same weight limit ) …so yes will have to think about tight turns but it’s the shortest rack system available ( depth 44 cm ) it’s not just the weight it’s lifting it up on top
….and plus being a small trailer it’s easy to unhitch and move …….Thule and others make quality systems but-you have to choose the correct location to put it bearing in mind the weight of the bikes…..I’d hate to test a rack to its limits and fail while driving….like our vans this trailer has proved very adaptable but you still need to be safe ….many thanks for the feedback
