I found the SRK owners forum and they're talking about a towing hitch. When I went to the roll-out in Eugene a year ago last November, the first person I talked to was the big guy himself, Mark Frohnmayer and my first question was whether the SRK has a towing capacity. He said 400kg/1/4ton.

So that was two points. It has a declared towing capacity. And it is the same as my Westfalia utility trailer. I have a source for the BASF elastomeric snubbers on the trailing arm suspension to get it on the road.

I'm hoping there is an option for one pivot/two wheels and two pivots/one wheel. Because I'd also want to make a Vespa/Piaggio pusher trailer and that would be single wheel.
