The right answer: One fitting coupling (koppeling) that is secured and cannot shake loose
The trailer must be attached with a single, fitting coupling (koppeling) that is secured and cannot shake loose, so that the trailer swerves to the side as little as possible. The play in that connection may not add up to more than 3 mm.
