Bought a trailer

[Des]

I've gone and bought a proper car transporter thing, no more temptation to pick up a handy but legally dubious A frame for me, big whoop you'd think, but I don't actually have any immobile or even non roadworthy/legal vehicles, nor anywhere to keep a trailer, and the manner in which I made the purchase is worrying, didn't even get out of my car to look at it, nor so much as wind down the window, I really need a word with myself.

Although now I think of it my brother has just replaced a Daewoo, my mother has likewise replaced her Golf, so a couple of weighbridge trips right there, obviously once I've half arsedly punted the miserable heaps here, with highly unreasonable conditions for a nanosecond. Then I can bitch about what a load of shits everyone on this site is for not giving me money.

DES COLLECTION / DELIVERY SERVICE POSSIBLE

Hello to my new best friend at some point no doubt. Top purchase!

Dragged it back! I can haz checkerplatz. Seems to tow ok, didn't come adrift or jacknife nor anything, had to do a quick fix on the wiring, it comes with a new junction box to fix it properly, also a pair of posts which I assume are for the rear to allow loading when not hitched to a towball. There's hydraulic brakes which is pretty high tech where I'm concerned and I was pleasantly surprised to find a 

small hand winch is attached. So far it's earned its keep shifting an old couch to the tip, then I dumped my mothers old Golf on it just to try it out. Exciting times

Like the RR without plates. Some choose to use the rear posts for loading whether attached at the hitch or not, especially if using the winch and with really heavy things.

They are a great bit of kit if you have somewhere to keep them. I had one for a few years but I didn't use it very often and the £6 per week storage seemed to offset what I was saving when I did use it.

 

Is it my eyes or has it got alot of overhang at the rear compared to what is in front of the wheels?

Looks good, I hope you've got somewhere safe to store it as they appear to be quite frequently stolen.

it looks like its been stretched from behind the rear wheels- maybe its a coleman milne trailer

[stuboy]

Those hubcaps look like Bedford ones,late CA or CF ? Very stylish.
