Over the pond trailers:expert help needed.

Postby SolisGazer » Wed Aug 15, 2007 2:34 am

Hi everyone,

New to this site and loving it but in need of advice. I wish to start building a teardrop on a 10' by 5' frame. I don't fancy building it myself so wish for a trailer base.

Rather frustrated as the ones recommended on here you cannot buy in the UK. :x

Does anyone know of any reasonable trailers I could easily get hold of in the UK to use or even any second hand ones??? Ebay seems to be a little thin on the ground of correct sized ones.

All help would be fab :D

Welcome SolisGazer to the forum. :thumbsup:
The person you need to talk to is angib ( Andrew ) also in England. :)
He can be a great help to you on your frame and trailer questions. :thumbsup:

Welcome and have fun on your build.

Besides Andrew, you might Private Message Clive who lives in Cambridge England.
He built a TD and may have some useful information that could help you,
when finding items you may need or build techniques over there on the island.

That's great thanks for the advice. Just got some great advice from Andrew so be looking into that so hopefully can get started on my design asap!

It seems it is going to more of a struggle here in the UK though with parts and stuff...bummer.

Where theres a will theres a way, Keep a stiff upper lip and adapt the plans to suit, i had a fabricator make my chassis based around suspension mounts and units from www.towsure.com
