Today I became the very proud owner of a Brenderup 1205 with ABS lid (still don't know what ABS stands for though! ) and it's massive! I'm under no illusion and fully expect the roof box to come back out of retirement within a year when I've bought loads more gear to fill the extra space but right now I'm a happy camper who's looking forward to having an empty car interior!

Ratty, please feel free to delete this post as it's utter rubbish but I'm soooo pleased and had to share!

Nice one. You don't have to take extra gear, it's just so easy to carefully chuck everything in the trailer and set off.

Just remember, it's almost impossible to reverse. I always un hook when I arrive, and place the trailer by hand. It's difficult because mostly you can't see what the trailer is doing untill it's to late, and the distance between the hitch and the axle is so short. It's just not worth the effort.

Good choice, so many folk buy a trailer that is to small, as they always look big in the show rooms.

Will be packing my trailer this week, for the 900 mile journey to our campsite, so nice though to have an empty car for the journey.

I must admit after having my tow bar fiited at Lichfield the Brenderup trailers were so tempting shame i am a broke at the moment. I managed to buy a 2nd hand trailer with 13" wheels inc spare 4 x 3 size, jockey wheel, leaf spring suspension,. I am doing it up at the moment. Due to the weight i cannot at the moment get it up the entry to store. So my plans have gone awry. Tis a great shame tis a loverly beast. I will strip it down and do it up and if i cant with help get it up the entry on a scate board will resell.

Thanks for the tips, particularly re reversing. I'll definitely be unhitching it and than pushing it into place but I'm going to go try reversing it in an empty car park just in case I ever have to reverse with it.

Any hints and tips about trailer security would be appreciated......

I was only joking about buying more stuff, I have three different tent set-ups (depending on the length/type of trip) and all of them are perfect so I will only look to replace/improve rather than add. It will just be nice not to have to travel like this anymore:
