 Hi Ozzy2672,

No it's not my trailer.

I do have a Brenderup 1150 with extension sides and ABS lid.

I was also thinking of fitting a roof box as well, but it would make it so high.(I like to travel through France on the motorways and category 1 (below 3 meters) lets me go through the restricted height with my Liber-t pass. and no charge for the trailer)

Sorry I can't be of any help..

Andy.

it's 2 extra holes, just put rubber gromments into the original ones

I got my high sides from lichfield trailers and they fitted the sides and ABS lid on the saturday morning, FOC

Excellent service!

I presume the roof bars clamp to the abs/top of the roof rails?

It's going to be pretty high with the bars on as well....

The berlingo is higher than a usual saloon car - pic gives you some idea

I have owned a Brenderup 1205 steel bodied trailer for 6 or 7 years now and in that time I have shifted literally hundreds of tons of scrap down to the local scrap yard. The only problem I have had was the pop rivets in the floor failing, which is apparently not unusual. Simple enough repair - drill out rivest, open holes in chassis to take M10 stainless steel coach bolts and nuts from screwfix and its fine.

I don't know what trailer the bloke whose Brenderup went rusty had but can't believe he paid 1200 quid for it and from the pictures it does look as though it has spent a lot of time wet. Mine has been wet on numerous occasions but it always gets dried out and it normally has an elasticated heavy duty cover over it - not the Brenderup one but similar sort of thing supplied by the dealer. Also I have a sheet of 3 or 4mm ply in the bottom of the trailer to protect the phenolic board, just cheapo ply that I put several coast of Ronseal quick drying wood seal on so it doesn't soak up water and then carpet tape all around the edges to protect the 'end grain'. Each ply sheet lasts me a couple of years and the floor of the trailer looks like new.

The Brenderup is probably the best trailer i have had in 30 years.

The kind of trailer I HAD was a brand new brenderup 2260s. Bought from Trident Trailers of Sittingbourne Kent for £1200...wanna see the receipt?

It was never abused, just used for camping and transporting fire wood. Never left with water in it, always covered.

Brenderup's customer support is non-existent, they just grab your money and run.

There products are crap and so is there directorship. YOU BUY AT YOUR PERIL!!!!

My 2260s was scrapped several years ago and has been replaced with an IW (a proper trailer)!

We're making the trailer plunge but it's driving me nuts with all the different sizes, wheel sizes and extras available. Seriously looking at the IW bv64e as an equivalant erde or daxarra with side extensions abs lid etc works out more expensive. Any peeps got or had a bv64e?
