We've been down this route.. bigger car, back box, roof box, trailer and then extent trailer. Now back to car and back box as just decluttered, left the tv and microwave at home and just took the basics.
We now much prefer our holidays as instaed of a day to erect all and put away it now only takes a few hours.

Driving back with it over fen roads made me want to buy a break away cable (I thought these were a legal requirement?)
--------------------------------------------------------
breakaway cables are for "braked" trailers to pull the breaks on the trailer in event of a detachment,
unbraked trailers should have a "safety chain" attatched from the trailer to the towbar, to keep the trailer "attatched" to the car in the event of a detatchment.
hope this helps

Tentation - we have a Picasso, roofbox and trailer so wise decision.
You only need decide to bring a friend along and your car packing plans will be in chaos.

2 months ago, the wife decided that camping wasn't for her so we sold our Erde 153 shown in the first post and started clearing out the camping stuff.
Today, we picked up our Brenderup and are off to France for 10 days in the tent and going as far south as possible.
I can't believe i am on my third trailer!
