Hi All, some people at the AGM were interested in my trailer and I'm sad enough to have some links to trailer web sites to give you some ideas :wink:

Thanks for the links. Very impressed with the ability to set up a “comfortable camp†in only a few minutes. Very well thought out.
I'm sad enough to go and check out the links :wink: :lol:
Hi Mark, I guess you'll get one with fred to make your night activites a little more comfortable! :wink:

this cant be a good thing ...
There is one thing that surprises me about the majority of the above trailers, all of which are supposedly purpose-built for off-road use. Most of them feature a ball & socket towing hitch. This style of hitch has seriously limited articulation and can be highly stressed or even "popped" off when negotiating undulating ground, particularly if there is an element of longitudinal twisting involved. It is very easy to exceed the relatively small angular tolerance of the hitch. It is one reason why the military use rotating ring and locking jaw hitches i.e. NATO hook. Then, not only will it tolerate the angular changes, but, if the trailer turns over, it shouldn't take the towing vehicle with it. The military have some considerable experience of towing over severe terrain which is one reason why I would always opt for a 1/2 tonne or 3/4 tonne ex-mil unit as the basis for an off-roading trailer. Somewhat cheaper too.
Indeed a very valid point , the same point was stated when some of the Clan was inspecting a offroad trailer at the AGM .

:D you could go for this one made for the G , a wide track sankey or a rapier trailer would be cheaper though .

Cheers for the links. I like the idea of getting the ex military trailer and adapting for your needs.
Got any more links for the trailers made for the G's?
:D Mark have a chat with Bill Moss he has a source for G trailers .
as you would need the NATO hitch and electrics .
Twodogs
So will we have a seperate section for tailers soon? :wink:
:D The next trailer fetish link is http://www.feltvogner.no/ from Norway .
look the same as the jeep trailers used by the Dutch to me pictures below .
Have a look at the british army sankey mark 3 the one i have has hydraulic discs and good lights .
Twodogs
Mark , these are the only G photos I have from the net of the trailer in service so you can get an idea of size .
The trailer with the lid is a mystery ?
Twodogs
but you would still need one of these.
Twodogs
for you trailer fetishers out there in G land an other one from Norway
Twodogs :D
Another Australian Camper that is a little different is the T-Van. Quite a unique design and perfect for two-up trips just about anywhere.

After last weekends offroading I needed to sort out my admin the garage after loads of work on the Gs looked like a bomb had hit it and the trailer wants to go in there with winter comming ,
This gave me a chance to try my Ex-Army sankey trailer on me G and start sorting out the army to civilion electrics for the trailer .
The electrics will be fun as im colour blind 8)
