For Sale Trailer tent, £30 in coventry, must go this weekend

[dean36014]

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.

Proper bargain assuming the canvas isn't knackered...

Ideal trailer conversion. Have you still got it mate?

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

That reminds me of a CombiCamp my folks had in 1979/80.

[dean36014]

Yes still got in bubs.

[bub2006]

Very tempting. Let me just work out logistics as it's too heavy to tow with trike.

[dean36014]

The previous owner towed it with a Smart car!

[bub2006]

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.

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!

[dean36014]

I would imagine so, he had two of them. It came from Orpington area.

[mrbenn]

A fairly laid back fella with long hair by any chance?

[dean36014]

Laid back yes, not long haired. Was around 50 with a young family. Had just sold up and was moving to Pitlochrie!

[mrbenn]

Sounds like the chap I'm thinking of! Small world.

Whereabouts are you Bub?

Mrs Optix won't grant permission*. Boo.

 

 

 

 

*for me to buy the trailer tent that is.

[bub2006]

I'm in alfreton in Derbyshire. I've had a quote of 30 quid to fetch it so will see if I can try sort something!

[djoptix]

Do it, worth £60!

[bub2006]

I've just realised it says must go this weekend. I'm a dickhead. I don't get paid till Tuesday so going to have to drop out. Sorry.

[Floatylight]

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... Not too far out my way..

Hey bubs I'm not fussed about the money, can pay later if you can collect tomorrow.

[dean36014]

Monday afternoon is a possibility. But would have to be early afternoon

[bub2006]

I'll ask my courier,hang fire!

[djoptix]

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!

Is it an old fashion 50mm ball type?

[dean36014]

It's off to bubs in the morning, not sure if it's anyone off here who's collecting though.

[bub2006]

Dcd1979 is collecting it. He is a member but I don't think he has posted much if at all

[beko1987]

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...

[bub2006]

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!
