Picked up my trailer today, and I am very pleased with it.
The drive home from All Fit Trailer Centre at Lichfield was a breeze, and I hardly noticed the trailer behind me, except when I looked in the rear view mirror.
The 1150s is narrower than my MINI, which means I do not need to use additional wing mirrors in order to get a clear view behind me.
Glad I went for the extension sides, as I would struggle to pack everything into the trailer without them.
I still have a bit of room left for the bedding, and shall add them the night before my next trip.
I had to clear sufficient space in the garage for it as I do not wish to have it on view on the drive.
One thing I did not check was the height of my garage door opening! Luckily, there is about 5cm clearance, phew!!!
I have not taken any pics yet, as it was quite an effort loading it and then pushing it into the garage. I shall do so later next week.
All in all, very pleased with the trailer, and many thanks to All Fit Trailer Centre for your patience and help, which is much appreciated.

On the drive this morning ready to go to work:
At work, all parked up and facing the right direction. I did not reverse it as advised by those in the know, and unhooked it first, pushed it into place, then reversed the car in front of it, before hooking it up again.
Towing it fully loaded to work was a breeze, however, my car did not like being driven like a granny as I was much slower with acceleration and gear change!
I love my trailer!
