We have a Brenderup 1205s with an ABS lid and high sides...it's huge! BUT it means we can store all our kit, including canvas tent in the trailer in between trips, we can take everything we want, stored in a way that makes it easy to use on site and stick all our clothes in without worrying about it.

The boot is always full of camera gear and the fridge so everything else goes in Bob with lots of room to spare!

hi PigletandTigger

we have exactly the same trailer high sides and abs lid does the high sides make much difference to your MPG as we are hoping we dont have to use the high sides just the trailer and lid...

RE Caddy trailers - shop around as Towsure are not the cheapest especially if you need it shipped to you.

There are companies out there who will be a little bit more expensive but then give you free 24/48hr shipping - I know I brought one from a company down in the South West (cant remember the name now)

HI we have a duuo trailer (do a google search) it stores inside itself, so only takes up 55cm depth in the garage so my SAAB and the trailer both fit in the garage.

The Erde range at Halfords will do you well! Get the biggest you can afford & avoid the 102 as it really is too small to be worth having.

It will depend on the model as to whether you can up-end it!

Also, if you are not in a hurry, check halfords out every now & then as they do deals on the Erde range.

Extra cost is the tailored tarp for the top.

The higher side packs & Lid top options etc are also available, but you may have to order them in depending on how big the store is.

hi piglet & tigger

did you find out if there was any difference to the MPG with & without the high sides

thanks

OK, i have the anssems GT 750 with extention sides, locking hard lid and roof bars, also bought the rear stabalisers so you can get in without it tipping over. All is aIuminum. It was in excess of £1000, but cheaper than the Brenderup (made by Thule) and could carry more weight than the 1205. I also liked it's flexability i.e. it's now very easy to have a basic trailer, or have the extention sides or have the hard box on.

The Brenderup trailers are very good, but the anssems swayed it for me due to cheaper price, more flexibility and weight capacity. Again, i stick all camping gear it it and leave on drive. It's lid is a hard lid with 2 locks fitted also have hitch lock and wheel clamp.

As regards fuel economy, this dips considerably. Think about it, you are towing up to 750kg.
