I suspect that building in even more strength to the roof for towing would have some H&S issues, but a fantastic idea Bodsys Brake Bible

Thinking that most towcars have a maximum hitch load of around 75Kgs, which is about the same as a maximum roofrack load - this should be do-able. Guess the hitch load is a lot higher when emergency braking etc.
Looks great though and would get a lot of attention at the site

Great idea, but wondering how long that Beetles AIR cooled engine would last, or is the trailer acting as a primative EGR, allowing the engine to breathe on it's exhaust gasses that are trapped.

If it's anything like the old Beetles I used to have most of the exhaust gases are pumped into the car through the corroded heat exchangers. Used to arrive everywhere with blue lips
