dean36014 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Right i bought this to do the car shows next year, but now i have an XM estate big enough to sleep in I don't need it. First off, I've never opened it out to check it although the owner stored it in a garage and assured me it was ok. It has no top cover with it, I used a tarp to get it home. Its a braked trailer with a spare wheel. The link below shows the very poor pictures from when I got it off ebay. I need it to go this weekend, as i need to put a car in the garage. It the tent bit is knackered you've a cracking basis to make a braked car trailer for tip runs etc. It towed fantastic at 70 mph behind my Bx. Collect from coventry, can't deliver as my only ca with a towball has sprung another leak.Ebay link to pictures.https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RACLET-TRAILER-TENT-/192699340020?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&nma=true&si=8bgCJknj8%252B2xXBS1UXZXotdKLsI%253D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc Floatylight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bub2006 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Very tempting. Let me just work out logistics as it's too heavy to tow with trike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dean36014 Posted December 15, 2018 Author Share Posted December 15, 2018 The previous owner towed it with a Smart car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bub2006 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Slightly better tow capacity than trike. Trike can tow 500kg,weight plate states 600kg so I won't risk it. Just trying to see if I can get it sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbenn Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 The previous owner towed it with a Smart car! Is that the Smart in the background on the pics? I recognise that from the Smart forums years ago. Thought it had long since disappeared! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floatylight Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Might have been able to pick it up on Monday afternoon if could wait that long and bring it over to you whilst I'm out for work...

djoptix Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 We must all step in! I'll pick it up tomorrow, store it in Herefordshire. Once I've finished the BX I'm storing there I will tow it back to Bristol. Then someone else can take it to the North East combining it with a collekshun fred, then finally it gets towed behind a bike to Glasgow. Another one saved!

beko1987 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Could be shitefest sorted then! Tow it on the trike and we can help you assemble it! Bonus points if you don't touch it beforehand so it's the first time you find out it's no good... somewhatfoolish and barefoot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bub2006 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 It's not going to be used as a trailer tent anymore. It will live it's life in as a more fulfilling venture! Shitefest sleeping arrangements are catered for courtesy of the French! Tamworthbay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
