Can I install my tow hitch myself?

Installation requires specific technical knowledge. It is recommended to have the installation done by a professional to ensure the hitch is correctly mounted and safe.

Why is the electrical connection of my tow hitch not working?

Electrical problems can indicate defective cables, fuses, or issues with the trailer itself. Check the wiring and fuses, and replace defective parts.

In some countries, it is legally required to use additional mirrors when towing a trailer. Check local regulations to ensure you take all necessary measures.

How do I test the function of my tow hitch?

To test the tow hitch, connect the trailer and check the lighting, brakes, and electrical connections. Take a short test drive to ensure everything works properly.

It is important to observe all safety regulations. The tow hitch must be properly installed when mounted on the car. Ensure that the connection between the trailer and the tow hitch mounted on the car is secure and firm.

What regulations are there for towing abroad?

When towing abroad, various regulations must be observed, which can differ from country to country. Generally, additional duties, taxes, and fees apply. Deliveries to Switzerland are without VAT. Recipients must pay the Swiss VAT upon receiving the goods.

It is important to inform yourself in advance about the specific regulations of the destination country. Information on duties can be found, for example, on the official websites of the customs authorities of the respective country. It is also helpful to inform yourself about import VAT, which is often levied in addition to duties.

For detailed and up-to-date information, you can consult the relevant customs authorities or specialized service providers. They often provide extensive information on duties, taxes, and fees, as well as specific instructions for importing and exporting goods.

Remember to consider the maximum weight of the trailer. Exceeding it can result in additional fines and fees. This is the case in most instances. Compliance with these regulations is crucial to avoid problems at customs clearance.

Make sure your trailer has EU approval. This is required in many countries and facilitates towing.
