An unladen weight of 1,100 kg against a payload of around 2,400 kg means the payload makes up more than two-thirds of the gross weight. At a width of 2,200 mm, the RS3 is narrower than most trailers in its class. The 585 mm distance recorded in the register sits inside the axle group and, with six wheels, describes the spacing between the axles of a closely spaced three-axle bogie rather than the wheelbase of the whole trailer. The 2002 build year places the RS3 in a generation of modern overrun brakes.

For a combination with a trailer up to 3,500 kg, a category B licence is usually enough, provided the combination's gross weight does not exceed 3,500 kg; otherwise a category BE licence is required. A three-axle design with closely spaced axles distributes the load across more contact points and reduces the load on each wheel, but calls for a precisely adjusted overrun brake so that all axles brake evenly.

When buying a trailer from 2002 second-hand, checking all six wheels for even wear is among the most important points, since closely spaced multiple axles wear unevenly if not correctly adjusted. The overrun brake mechanism and its linkage should be checked for smooth operation, and the frame around the axle mounts for corrosion. Spare parts for axles and overrun brakes are usually available on the open commercial-vehicle parts market for this trailer type.
