I have had some plans on building my own tow hitch and according to SFRO (Svenska fordonsförares riksorganisation) an organisation that controls home build vehicles in close cooperation with the Swedish authorites here i Sweden, I am allowed to build my own tow hitch rated for the maximum totalweight of 1500 kg (3307 lbs). I guess thats close to a class 3 tow hitch that has a 3500 lbs gross trailer weight.
I am not enforced to make a calculation of the tow hitch, but if the inspectors belive it "Looks weak" I am obliged to show a calculations, that shows the tow hitch fullfilles the requirements stated further down in this post.
So has I have the knowledge and the tools why not make a calculation and see what is says??
