Hi I am looking to buy a small trailer for our camping equipment, (my Hyundai Coupe isn't quite big enough, we look like the Clampits at the moment!).

I am looking at an ERDE 102 as I can get a really good deal on one at the moment, (£205 with cover and lock & delivery) or would I be better off going for one a bit larger even though it will be more expensive?

Any thoughts would be appeciated.

<!--bmi_SafeAddOnload(bmi_load,"bmi_orig_img",1);//-->from experiance i would say go for the biggest you can store and afford, if you buy too small you may live to regret it, and before long you will be spending more cash in trying to increase its capacity height wise using side extender pannels, but even if you do this, there will be nothing you can do to increase the trailers load capacity, and on other occasions its surprising what you may want to use your trailer for,

Even now we have given up tent camping we still use our Daxara 137 with extended side panels to move our daughter around with all her gear whilst shes at uni.

I would say big is beautiful in this case, within reason of course, dont want something the size of a horse box on the back lol!

Hi Skiddy, we had the Thule BackUp Box in 2009 which is a similiar concept to the Bak-Rak.

We already had the Thule 902 EuroClassic tow ball mounted bike rack, which the Back Up Box was specifically designed to fit onto to.

Never again though, we went to the Southern Ardeche with the Back Up Box on the back of the firms VW Golf that I drive, it was definitely the wrong car for the Back Up Box, the Golf can only take 75kg on the tow ball, and even though I stuck to that, the steering became vague, and the car never returned to it's full rear height again, obviously that was not helped by having a whole bunch of camping gear in the car.

Needless to say, we sold the Back Up a Box upon return, and that's when we got the Trailer.
