How do you know whether to drive or reverse the cars on...? I hear the te odyssey swallows big loads...would you say you do too...?
@@JamesBowers-tu4xz the oddesey is known to take decent loads, I'm not a fan with vans on them yet. Driving and reversing cars onto it comes as a routine. Mainly the same sequence on the oddesey. We drive or reverse to get the better clearance... Thanks for watching

Great video how much do you rely on sat nav not to send you down a road you shouldn't be on and how much is it down to experience.
@@Tuftyonthetube thanks for watching, you have to take sat navs with a pinch of salt mate. Although you can set them for bridge height, you can't set them for low trees. Trees cause major damage to cars, so experience is a massive factor I suppose..

What is you max loading capacity with one of these type transporters? So how much payload weight for the vehicles loaded? And i'm guessing it may get to being a few less cars on there if they are EV with the weight of them, is that a consideration ever?
@@theoutsider6191 roughly 22 tonne empty, 44 tonne is the maximum we can carry. EVs are a lot heavier so tend to carry 7/8s car loads
@@TheTransporterGuyVw How stable do you find them to drive? I guess it comes down to loading and trying to have more weight at the bottom, but i was out on the M6 the other day and went past a lad who had only 3 cars on transporter like this one and they were all on the top deck!! and it was raised up! I was thinking it looked well ropey like that. I know how a double deck trailer feels when it is heavy loaded on top deck, not cleaver is how 🙂
@@theoutsider6191 I feel there are really good once loaded. But can be very unsteady if a big heavy car on the peak (car 4) or car 3

Noticed your sleeper cab looks tiny and sparsely equipped, take it that's the norm for the car transporters of that type? Looks like a long overhang at the back of your trailer as well. What's it like to drive compared to a normal artic in regards to trailer cut it and when you turn right or left on tight junctions how far can that overhang at the back swing out into other lanes? You find it easier or more difficult that normal articulated units? Edit. Doesn't look like there's a lot of room to bring stuff if you're tramping all week.
