Re: OUR New Trailer
Slick looking machine there Jim!
Love the idea of the boxes for storing yak gear (i assume) and water containers.
Could use the water storage for camping trips too!
If the water containers are large, could they affect stability when under tow if you have water sloshing from side to side? Would hate to see that beast fishtailing behind your car...

Poised on the edge of sanity.

Re: OUR New Trailer
Hatters mate the water containers will be 2x25 litre plastic
containers one on each side in front joined together by a T piece
and run to 12 volt pump to wash them with so stability shouldn't
be a problem.Thanks for you comments Guys we are pretty happy
with it no more bloody roofracks and crook backs Jim

Re: OUR New Trailer
Nice job, my only suggestion would be if you use one piece rods to put a lockable steel tube, if you use 2 pce, don't worry about it. I'm another one who understands the lifting thing, I've got a Triton ute so I have to lift well above my head and I'm 6ft.
