Trailer research - where to go?

G'Day Scottwheels,
Just a couple of suggestions make sure has a good strong chassis & pull e.g. large rhs not angle. Also would advise if it isn't already change your hubs to make same stud pattern & wheel size as your tow vehicle it just means the spares you carry with you can interchange limiting how many spares required to carry with you on your trip.

Your best bet is probably to look at campertrailers.

Who makes what , and construction, suspension etc.

Afterall , most CT's are just a tent on a trailer.

Some CT makers also make Offroad trailers.

Oriens in Melbourne is one I can think of.

One site we found was www.campertrailers.org

It may provide you with some advise, they also have a forum every thursday night.

Thanks for your advice. I've borrowed a couple of ex-camper trailers from some mates in town, for carting all manner of stuff. They are strong and well made, even though the ones I borrowed had seen better days...

I haven't tried any trailers made from the back of a ute, but I guess it comes down to the chassis and springs, regardless of whether its a converted ute trailer or a purpose built off-road trailer / camper trailer.

Thanks for the contacts, I will do a bit more ferreting to find out more.

G'day Terrano Tripper, always a pleasure to see another T2 owner. Mine's a '98 2.7TDi, and she's had to do some real off road work in where I live in Gove. There are 4 in town here, so when we pass each other on (or off) the road, it's rarer than the "Defender wave" :)

I know it's off topic, but what do you think of the soon to be relased turbo diesel pathy? I'd be interested to see how they go here.

Cheers, Scott
