.......a caddy flat-packed trailer? How exciting (sad) is that?

Just hoping that the pack contains a blow up man, complete with excellent knowledge of trailer building. Otherwise I'm selling tickets if anyone is interested in watching my lovely husband looking confused and telling me that the instructions are wrong trying to assemble it! Especially as his tool kit consists of string,celotape,philips screw driver and a mallet, bless him.

Should be fun!

You're going to let your husband build it? More fool you.... Can you not have it done on the sly before he comes home or something? Tell him it came that way?

Who needs instructions, only the OH to prove to me I'm doing it wrong.

Good luck with the trailer building and remember the wheels should both touch the floor, without having to use the mallet to persuade them.

Whats paracord?

Your replies made me laugh!

Dave, we have a caddy 430. I know we can get save loads of room in our car (despite it being a small trailer) save me sitting with the ice box between my knees on long journeys! Seriously, we also have the panels to increae the sides. We got it from Towsure -online,for around £169. It'll make life so much easier (after hubby has built it).

Hi we have a caddy 535 with high side kit - just one tip for you!!  when building your trailer.....don't build it using the short corner posts - because when it comes to putting your high side kit on you will find that you have got to remove all the short corner posts supplied with the trailer and start again with the longer corner posts supplied with the high side kit, the long ones don't just fit over the top of the others - take it from one who knows and had to listen to the OH swearing & moaning when he realised he had to start over !!
