    Although the article says one of the contractors moved the car with no issues.

    Some people just cannot drive safely!

    There must be some twisted logic there somewhere.

    The fact that you can’t give a simple answer is telling.
    When you go off for one of your trips do you just say ‘see you when I see you’?

    Yes. When you put the hitch
    Yes. When you put the hitch on, the locknut tightens it all up. Then you just have effectively a longer axle.
    You then use your 5mm Allen key to remove it (subject to the shape of your rack !!).

    The RAP pages have some short videos of them installing and swapping out. For liability issues, they tell you to swap the tow axle out when not in use.

    The easy solution is a RAP axle and then a 5mm allen key to remove it as normal – about £60.

    Here is my set up.

    Here is my set up.

    The sleeve of the trailer arm fits over the hitch on the axle and then you stick the pin through to secure plus the safety line.

    In the case of QR, I’d expect a washer by the frame and the opposite side of the hitch to fit it.

    I would be very wary of screwing in a extention to an existing through axle as that to me is a significant point of failure when towing 30-40 kg.

    Isn’t your qr bit part of your axle though? Not sure how you would use that with yor existing through axle.

    When I had a quick look at trailers, some gave you a longer qr skewer to accommodate the extra length which is also what you get with the thru axle replacement.

    Might be worth a conversation with sjs cycles.

    There is a wizard that tells you what you need.

    2 frame mount is normally axle mount ( so I hope we mean the same thing). The hitch fits onto the new axle and has a locknut. Once fixed on, you can remove the through axle as normal ( unless your bloody rack gets in the way !!!)
    Unless your axle spec is identical, you will need 2 axles

    3 I did hire a seat post one and did not like it. It seemed to spring back and forth and drag a lot. Must be incompatible with carbon post.
    Lower to the ground axle would seem more stable and easier to manoeuvre due to ball and socket joint or cheapo big spring. Definitely less drag.

    4 single one will be narrower if you need to go through a gate or anti motorbike gate.
    2 wheels must be more stable.

    I know captain badger and wtjs have a trailer and at least one of them has a single wheel yak.

    I have a cheapo one same as tom_77:
    “I’ve had my eBike for about a year, recently bought a trailer for it so I can do the weekly shop with it.

    Bike is a Raleigh Motus, trailer is a HOMCOM cargo trailer.”
