My father has bought a Q Pod to go on the back of his motorhome.
It's the only thing that will keep him below his 3500kg GTW.

Anyone any experiance of Q Pods?

Looks like fun smile

Not a Q-pod but I did tow a small buggy no issues at all,
as long as the steering lock and hand brake are ofF

I discovered there are some issues around legality whether 2 or 4 wheels are on the road.

if towed with an A-frame rather than on a trailer, the Buggy and A-frame become one and classed as a trailer.

this is the interesting bit,
a trailer under 750kg doesnt need brakes (that fits the Q-pod).
However if the trailer has brakes they must be operational.(this means an over-run system is needed to activate the Q-pod brakes)

A-frame is legal when towing a Q-pod without the brakes operation only in the eventaullity of a breakdown recovery

I did have a quick look at their website as i had never heard of them before. They do look fun and are also road legal?

Couldn't find any new prices for them though..... As some of the other models look quite good.

Spectacular..!! I want one SO BAD. driving

Can you get a bubble-roof for it? Even in this weather, I'd go and do the shopping in it.

You can get a small canvas roof or a full cab kit but the full cab is yikes expensive.
