Of all my trailers ive had, it was the best to tow and manouvre. Dont let the blow out doom tellers put you off as its not true in my experience Quote
Andrzej Posted June 17, 2020 Posted June 17, 2020 I dont know if some of the trailers You are considering is a "tilting" type, but if so then this is a convincing argument for this model . So much easier without all the hassle with trailer ramps! . Just drive in, trailer titls and voila! Additional benefit is lower center of gravity . And less paring space needed . something like this : 1 Quote
DamperMan Posted June 17, 2020 Posted June 17, 2020 Being tight I bought a trailer used on a motor home to tow a smart car.. There where loads of these available a few years back. Cheep and the extended the deck. To fit the Westfield.. Quote
Mole Posted June 17, 2020 Posted June 17, 2020 Mine is twin axle prg..tows well but agree with maurici balance needs to be correct..would have gone for 13" wheels and single axle if buying new.. for reasons given.. Tilting trailer looks the dogs! Quote
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted June 17, 2020 Posted June 17, 2020 I’ve used a hydraulic tilt bed quite a few times, (a mate used to let me borrow his, when he still had it); so much easier/better than ramps. Quote
