I need to buy a box trailer for camping. I want to store my gear in all year - the trailer will live outside. I am considering an Ifor Williams BV64e. If anyone has experience of this trailer, I have many questions and would like to know your experiences of it. I would also like to look at other box trailers but cannot go much above £1000 (I would prefer way less).  Ideally it would be a braked trailer - I know the BV64e is unbraked but its at the top of my budget. Any suggestions?

Might be worth looking at...

http://www.trailertek.com/vantek/

Don't know the price for this one, but I bought one of these...

http://www.trailertek.com/trailertek-gt500-fitted-with-hard-top/

recently which was around £750.

They're really well made, from double skin aluminium. The smaller ones are also the only trailers I could find with a really good hard top - we needed this as the trailer is used for storing kit.

I don't know about the particular models you are interested in but I bought and used a large Ifor Williams sheep trailer, a 2 tonne impliament trailer and have just purchased a large horse trailer.  All of them have been very well made and tow really well.

Try these I was up there this week collecting some trailers for work this week, they have an excellent selection of trailers and they are an Ivor Williams dealer as well. They also had one of those vantek trailers on display, was very impressed with it. its certainly worth a look.

glen_p, I've just bought the same trailer 2nd hand, doesn't have the hardtop bit though. Tows really well.  Just making up a box for the top out of good old fashioned ply!
