Brilliant thanks - sounds like a serious piece of kit!
A little expensive but obviously being ali wont corrode and requires very little grease.

Look on the bright side, you won’t be going over a high kerb with one.
Should be safe.
I try hard to keep my trailer wheels on the road but cars, vans, even other wagons, they cut over on you at junctions making it difficult sometimes.
Emons are mostly van eck/talson. Awesome pieces of kit on standard euro 5th wheel height. 2x 1.8m decks. Nearly the same as a DD yet nearly one metre lower

I’ve never driven a double decker and hopefully never will, I’d be more worried about how they’re loading it…heard a few times about milk or yoghurt on the top deck and toilet paper on the lower deck and first roundabout it’s over on its side…They really aren’t that bad tbh. I’ve pulled a fair few and never once felt unstable in normal conditions. I’ve even pulled them in moderately windy weather and not really had issues. Driven properly and sensibly they aren’t that bad. Keep off the curbs is the key, not difficult is it■■?
The fact that you’d fail your test, (you know th thing you do right at the start with zero experience), for so much as touching a kerb would suggest it shouldn’t be too difficult for a driver with any experience to not go smashing a double decker into them at speed.

I distinctly remember my (very non PC) LGV driving instructor saying “kerbs are like (age group left out due to being a socially unacceptable joke in modern society) yr olds, you can brush up against em but never ever touch em”…
Hey, his words not mine! So anyway I’ve always taken that distinction to mean a soft brush past (just for the record I’ll state at slow manoeuvring speeds not 50+ mph around a dual carriageway roundabout) that isn’t felt or likely in any way to cause damage to the tyre wall would be ok whereas firm contact that you’d no doubt feel obviously wouldn’t be?
I’m not arguing btw I’m curious if there’s an actual distinction between brushing and touching (kerbs that is) in the eyes of test examiners.
That’s hilarious lol 
I will def never forget that one!

Ha I wouldn’t know the ins and outs or the exact rules the examiner follows (if there are any and they don’t just make it up depending on what mood they’re in) but I just got taught to stay away from any kerb. Touch and you’ll fail.
