Trailer Dimensions

[Andy - a15cro]

Guys, just a quick one. I may have found a cheap trailer right under my nose!

 

Its only single wheel (I would rather twin but its cheap!)

 

1800KG

 

17' with a 13' bed.

 

Will this fit the Westie.

 

Ive got to dash out to an appointment so haven't time to drag the car out to measure up.

This thread has come in handy for me several times when working out if my car will fit:

I make that 11.5' long?

A 10ft bed is about the shortest you can comfortably use, but with that they'll be some overhang to both the front and back.  Check the width as well though.

 

this is mine which is 10ft

Long enough, yes but check the width.

Cheers guys.

This is it, it needs a couple of bits of finishing off from reading the text, but Ive a mig and the ability!

 

Whats the general opinion (subject to width!)

 

[Andy - a15cro]

I think it looks a bit too high and with the short ramps will foul the underside and make loading difficult. Its £350, but for infrequent use I may just wait until something better comes along.

The ramps look difficult to get in & out when you have a car loaded on.

Never sure about trailers without side rails, requires some serious strapping down to make sure it doesn't move. Our cars are so sensitive to geo changes that I don't like putting ratchet straps on the front wheels so I'd be nervous of a trailer without side rails. Bernie's point above is also a good one.

Have you seen Shaggy's trailer for sale on here?
