Hi guys

I am in the process of designing a new offroad trailer for my 12 foot tinny which will also carry my roof top tent on a removable rack with legs that Jack the RTT off the trailer. This trailer is going to need to be fairly robust as I will be taking it to the Cape several times hopefully. Now don't get me wrong I'm not going to take it down shotgun, but don't want to be restricted in where I can go up there other than the simply impossible.

Getting to the point I have been looking at independent suspension for the trailer and came across Duratourque and ALKO independent rubber suspension and would like to know if anyone has given in a good workout workout? I would be adding shocks to the system but it does seem alot cheaper than traditional independent suspension setup. I was going to fabricate my own swing arms but have been put off by how easily I could bugger up some of the geometry and figure I'll be busy enough making the trailer as is.

Any advice would be great guys as have never seen IRS in the flesh

Cheers

Tosh
