Hi im thinking of getting a trailer and was wondering if anybody has had trouble with site s that have restrictions on the size of the trailer. I was thinking of maybe a 6x4 foot trailer.

No problem with a 6 x 4 we have a 5ft x 3ft 6" Trailer, in fact external length with drawbar is 2.5m which is still tiny in the great scheme of things.

6 x 4 would be an ideal size for a camping Trailer, especially if high sides and a lid are fitted, but you are looking at serious money for anything new in that size with the extras.

Are you going for a braked Trailer?

No its unbraked. Its an old conway trailer tent but without the tent lol. So it should tow ok and is alot cheaper than the new trailer route.

I've just bought a trailer today which is also an ex-trailer tent trailer!

It's 5x3 I think, really well made. I did a deal with the guy to include a load of camping stuff too so it has worked out well. Allows me to fill the gaps in the gear I need (though annoyingly I've just bought 2 more camping chairs!) and sell on the rest of the stuff to help recoup some of the cost.
