When I was looking for a trailer back in 2009, my basic requirements were “A” Frame design, 13” Wheels and ABS Lid.
Size would only be limited by my £800 budget at the time, helped buy the fact that VAT had been reduced to 15% for that year only.
I purchased new, doing the two card credit card trick, which gave me 12 months interest free, so that worked out at £68 per month with the 2.5% fee factored in.
I still have the trailer, which is still in fantastic condition.
The “A” Frame design is handy as it allowed me to easily add a Trailer Tongue Box, which I keep the two CampinGaz 907 gas cylinders in, along with various tools etc.
Also having a roof rack that was included with the trailer was also very handy as I also added a 520lt Fiamma UltraBox 3.
Check out Red Cap Garage at Blackburn, as they are the main U.K. importer of Lider Trailers, and they were doing some great bundle deals on the Lider Saragos which included extension panels and ABS Lid, a lot of trailer for the money.

Yep jaiash, the Lider Saragos does represent excellent value, but to be fair the Lider Box Van Trailer 39920 does look to be a very interesting bit of kit, none braked so gross of 750kg if the car can cope with that, and the meagre load capacity off 392kg should suit most campers, as kit tends to be mostly bulk over weight.
But at double the cost of the Lider Saragos, it would be a serious investment, and for the same money I priced up the SARIS DV135 which is about the same size, but being braked has a load capacity of 920kg, which is more than even the most ardent camper would ever need, although the SARIS would have to be bought in Holland, as there are no dealers that I am aware of here in the U.K.
Total weight of our camping kit is around 400kg, with 325kg of that going in our Lider Alicante trailer, 75kg goes in the car.

Oddly enough we are the opposite.
We have the tent in the trailer, over the axel, with tent ext, poles, king poles, EHU & cables, roll mats, SIM/air bed, kitchen shelves, table, chairs, hob, gas bottle, crabbing kit, buckets and spades, balls, body boards etc.
In the car is cool box, food box, utility box (plastic crockery, utensils for cooking, chopping boards, sharp knives, cutlary, medicines, washing & washing up kit, pans etc), sleeping bags, clothes for us all, waterproofs for all but packed separately incase needed.
Most items in a trailer go across it from wheel to wheel. A few other items are packed front to back. However Mr F bags everything so less rubbing. Our electric hob is in its original cardboard box, our gas 2 burner hob is in a large thick fabric bag that has a velcro fastening. Our gas bottle sits on its own rubber mat to stop wobbling and possible noise. Although I know all this I'm not qualified to pack the (my) car or the trailer.
