Looking for a solution to store all my gear NOT in the car apart from my fishing rods.
I 've had this Easy Trailer for a few months now, Removed the bottom leaves off the springs to make it not so bouncy and replaced some of the pins and used bolts to make it a bit more rigid.
I got me some lockable tool boxes and with the help from a neighbor he had racked up some frames and replaced the hitch for a more sturdy one.
The tool boxes are large enough to hold landing net, turbo fins , small esky and various camping gear. Both lids can lift up enough to get things out while the PA is still on. Boxes were the $$ killer coming in at $350 each from Supercheap
I'm looking at putting a 20/50 lt water tank/pump on aswell which will make cleaning easier.
All I need to do now is to line the boxes with some marine carpet and fit out the boxes so things aren't clumping around while on the road.

Looks good mate, I reckon there is enough room for 2 yaks on that trailer
Plenty of room on the front for another lockable box or is that where the water tank is going

Looking good Alan.
I've had my eyes on a certain trailer for a while but the bloke won't sell it to me. YET

Re: Pimpin the trailer
Yes... I forgot about the 3 way fridge sitting in the laundry cupboard...May be a brain fart, but I'll have to check out how I can wire it up to the car while driving, running off a spare battery while parked and on gas at the camp site. Work on that while making an enclosure for itGraybalz85 wrote:Nice work, plenty of room for something else on the front like a fridge
I thought of that but I'll have to lose a tool box unless I go higher and I still need to slightly push the good wife into a kayak and set it afloat before we buy anotherI reckon there is enough room for 2 yaks on that trailer

Re: Pimpin the trailer
Wire up a deep cycle battery on the trailer so it charges as you drive. When you turn your car off the fridge will run from the battery. Have a switch so you can switch it off just incase you don't want voltage output.Munroe wrote:Yes...

Re: Pimpin the trailer
Maybe a slide out base up the front with pop up tent/swag S#^t Now I've done itmaybe a jayco cabin mounted on the roof will see you win
Ideas are endless. Just how far would you want to go. But these easy trailers are a really good blank canvas to build up on
Just need to get talking to a Auto Elect'Wire up a deep cycle battery on the trailer
