See below for responses: HOPE THAT HELPS?

Thanks for the kind comments!:bike_rider:

Sorry, final correction on the above, the 3500kg combined mam of vehicle and trailer is only for post 2013 licence holders, see below: Licences issued from 19 January 2013 From 19 January 2013, drivers passing a category B (car and small vehicle) test can tow: small trailers weighing no more...

Slight correction on what you say above, unless you have passed your trailer test the max trailer weight you can tow is 750kg, regardless of how light the towing vehicle is.

I agree, it is particularly ridiculous because generally I think it is safer to tow with a heavier vehicle! I too have towed various trailers over last few years, mostly a 3 tonne gh106 ifor williams plant trailer behind my pickup, way way over what's legal! But I do think the police are...

Sounds good, you are correct gd84 can carry a lot more weight, what's MGW? 1500kg? But my logic is the heavier you make it the more fuel you will use dragging it around? Plus harder work on your tow vehicle, clutch etc?

Thanks, but no, 25m of 50x50 box is still around £400 :Wow1: I have found a local supplier a bit cheaper but it's still around £300, so will still be nearly £500 built... I also got a quote for a lockable tambour (roller shutter) door for the side like on a fire engine, that would be £270 ish...

Ok I started playing around on sketchup, after a few evenings swearing at the laptop I feel like it would have been quicker to have just gone out to the garage to start building it. Anyway here's where I got to, frame drawn mm perfect from 50x50 3mm box section: Sent it off to a local...

All VW T5s from 2010 on are 2.0litre, they are just tuned differently with different turbos etc to give outputs from 84bhp to 180bhp

Very old thread, did you finish it?!

Hi all, You guys are so lucky - from what I have learnt on this forum base ex-military trailers are so cheap over there! Anyway I have one of these trailers: Just bought it new, Its an Ifor Williams which are well regarded over here. MGW is 750kgs - about 1650 pounds - which is the max i'm...

Sort of!! People can't quite believe it when u hit the switch and it transforms!

Pics of wooden mock up and then the bare frame in position.

Thanks for the compliments! I couldn't buy those seat mechanisms here either, I drew them up, prototyped in wood and then a mate and I welded them up from scratch. It's not obvious in the pics but they are on linear actuators so they open and fold electronically at the flick of a switch.

I came across this forum researching expedition trailers. Here's a few pics of my setup here in the uk. We don't have much off-road hence it's lowered and rolling on 20s with 35 profîle tyres, pretty much the opposite to anything you guys would run! Still it's great for exploring European Tarmac...
