Hi

I'm after a decent trailer to carry most of my gear....have a 4 birth Vango air beam and camp kitchen and blow up beds .... comfortable but not excessive on load.

I'm wondering what people would recommend

I've got a large unbranded plastic trailer with lid for our bell tent and all the gear. Trouble is I've no tow bar on the car (a Nissan Cube) instead I use an inflatable roof rack. Everything fits in/on the car without folding down seats.

Unless money is not a factor - whatever you can pick up second hand. I would avoid homemade ones. I think Daxara/Erde are the same except for model numbers. The advantage of buying a brand name is the range of accessories and spares availability. Some of the Erdes are sometimes on display at Halfords (this will give you a better idea of size) and the small ones are pretty small.

Make sure you go one or two sizes up - if you are towing a trailer you may as well take extra kit with you or transfer items from a cramped car to the trailer.

I used to have a Daxara 158 with hardtop. Nice size, A frame with proper sized wheels. Was very stable. Lockable hardtop meant camping gear could be stored offseason in the trailer.

Another point to consider is where you are storing the trailer. Some can be stored in garages end up (if not too long).

For quality, security, easy-towing and longevity, it has to be Anssems. Prices have gone through the roof recently, though.

Shoutout for Temared trailers too. Polish brand I think, very impressed with ours. 6'7 x 3'6 was about £900 including the double sides and canvas cover.

If you get one it's worth getting a spare wheel, jack and wheel spanner, they tend to have smaller wheels and tyres. A scissor or bottle jack will do as car one is unlikely to fit.
When we used to have a trailer in our camping days which had similar size wheels to a motor scooter.We had a spare.

To be honest, any half decent trailer will do, when we were camping we had a Maypole MP718 trailer with high side kit and cover, think it had something like 650kg capacity, I also fitted a jockey wheel to make it easier to manoeuvre on camp sites, very little maintenance needed, just check all bolts are tight once a year and also remove hubs, clean out old grease and repack bearings once a year (easy job and was part of our pre holiday routine, check tyres every year and replace tyres every five years, I found it cheaper to just buy new wheels with new tyres on and then sell the old ones on eBay, after having the trailer for around 7 years I decided to upgrade the wheel from 10 inch to 13 inch and the ride was much better.

If I were to buy a new trailer now, I would probably opt for a Brenderup or Anssems, although they are pretty expensive

As has been said on the previous posts, erde will do a job.
But if you can find a Brenderup you wont go wrong.

How about an Ifor Williams trailer with lockable lid, not too big and secure
