Outdated - Two Wheels Car Transport Trailer

Release 16.07.16:
Heyo,
During driving through the woods of Jungle Rock Island came me the Idea of a Car Transporting Bar like I saw a lot in my holidays. So here it is, but for now without a custom body nor with tires. But the thinks will come with the time . A Video is also in work. Last but not least the disclaimer that this is a Mod in early alpha to get some feedback from you, so smash your keys and give me some feedback.
Happy towing.

PM: The best way to tow a car is with the rear wheels and activated parking brake like at the second Screenshot.

Edit 17.07.16:
Like the title says, this Update adds: Temporary Wheels (and yes they are invisible) / Lifter / Retractable Ramp. Big Thanks to the feedbacker for their nice and useful feedbacks. You Rocks!

Edit 29.07.16:
Fixed:
-wrong collisions triangles led to clipping of the towed car

Added:
-basic model
-basic wheels

-basic textures with the ability to change colors(,not the chrominess)

Replaced:
-one big file split into small files to get the part selector working

Edit 03.08.16:

Edit 21.08.16:
Fixed:
-strange Camera
-Spawn Bug

Replaced:
-Wheel Model

Edit 22.08.16:
I noticed (thanks to @Amtrak America) a heavy Bug. Do not download Version 0.4 instead, wait for the hotfix 0.5. Sorry

Edit 04.09.16:
Fixed:
-Ramp is invisible
-stability under heavy load

Added:
-mudflaps
-basic ramp
-tuning options for the drawbar load and drawbar length

Replaced:
-little wheels with big ones

Edit 23.12.16:
This Version corrects the color mask and adds simple UV-Mapping layouts. The trailer got minor improvements.

Edit 18.05.20:
I am not satisfied with the outcome. The way it handles in curves is not what I anticipated. I already started with some new experiments for a new technique that should be able to tow also in curves. As long I am not done with testing, this mod is outdated.

Comment:
The ramp is still invisible because I have some trouble with it to get displayed right. The whole trailer is also a little bit to tipped.

Known Bugs:
-Ramp is invisible
-Spawn Error when you pick a color at the spawn menu

Nice. Now I can tow my car in gear at 70mph and demand a warranty payment on the melted engine.
It would be perfect if it had realistic textures, a working orbital camera, and more stable framework. Still a great mod and does what it should. Would recommend.

Nice idea but too many bugs and is surprisingly difficult to use. Needs a lot of work.

I find when I take a corner... a wheel from the am I am moving falls out the wheel slot... maybe a platform on the axle that is centered b springs when empty is a good idea... cause then I have to attach some nodes on the tires and not worry about it... instead, if I do that it drags the car's back wheels. (the car getting towed) a texture to bring realism and some standard steel trailer wheels would be a nice... like when you see one of those U-HAUL rentals... you can get an idea of what they really look like.

  Hmm, in my Game it works just fine...
  You need to attach the Trailer to a Car and toggle the handbrake on the car, then the Ramp will be extended.

While it looks good, and has no real bugs. I can't give it a 5 as it is way too easy for cars to fall off of. Even at low speed cornering and light acceleration the vehicle being towed will fall off.

  Yeah agreed. I´m working on it to prevent this, but it´s harder than I thought.

This is a great idea but id appreciate if you could make a gooseneck version so that it becomes easier to tow with higher vehicles. :)

  Thanks for your comment. Your idea with the gooseneck version is interesting, but a little bit to overkill I think ^^

nice. i suggest that you should add the wheels from the small trailer. and maybe you could add a HD variant with duallys. but overall a great mod!
