Trailer Question

Although described as 'heavyweight', the channels are a thin gauge so the chassis is probably only rated to 500kg. The ball hitch is an older version and looks a DIY fitting. Probably need to spend on a new jockey wheel assembly and I'd advise getting a modern ball hitch. You need to check how many pins are in the trailer board plug, might be 7 instead of the now standard 9. It would add £100 to the purchase price but on the plus side, it is clean and tidy so probably looked after. Andy

 

Have you still not bought something?! Did you used to be a woman?

 

that looks dodgy!!

 

CR, brud, look around the car park at any track day and you'll see a few trailers the rest will be vans, loads of em, vans everywhere.

There's a reason for that

 

Bugger mate - that's exactly how much I paid for my van!

 

The extra pictures do show a much more rugged frame than the first set so take him at his word. No ramp shown in any of the pictures, an oversight ? Have you looked at Trailertek at Micheldever ? Mine started out life as one of theirs and it's been fine for years. Andy

 

Which award are you going for exactly with this thread?

Why didn't you star a thread 'trailer or van?'

£500 for a tow bar? I paid £140 fitted for mine, paid £220 ish for a trailer - then bought a van

 

It's a 680 kg limit and not just a trailer but it's so close to a van, I would get a van

£500 for a tow bar??

 

If it's done properly replacing the rear subframe member and fitting a removable towbar, yes that is what it costs. My trailer doesn't need an MOT, road fund licence, insurance or servicing. In 13 years of ownership, my trailer has cost me £35 for 2 new tyres and £60 for replacement wheel bearings and it's still worth the £300 I paid for it, nor is it an eyesore parked outside my house. Which is more than can be said for you vanmongers . Andy

 

I wish mine only cost me £500
