Hi All,

I am looking at purchasing a trailer either a camper or luggage trailer to put camping gear in, so that I can do some touring.
any advise would be more than welcome. :13Candy

Tackleberry:
Sac I'm not sure of what you're experience with bikes and trailers are mate, but I would suggest that you borrow a trailer  from somebody if you haven't done the bike & trailer thing and ride with it first of all to see whether you like the idea.  Some people just don't like the feeling with the trailer. 

There are differences between the single wheel and 'normal' styles also bloke.  There is a wealth of knowledge on the US site to look through:

and then also through these websites:

I have done a couple of '000km with mine now and love using it, so I hope you have the same experience.

Thanks for the threads, lots of good reading. All I need to do is find one at the right price and convince the minister to let me spend some money. :well

Brock:
I'm in the process of designing my own trailer, with the intention to build. Hard part is finding some of the bits I want to use like small coil over springs n shockies to support the custom trailing arm independent suspension that I want.

When its done, I will publish the plans and parts with the costs involved.

Oh, I probably need access to a lathe to make hinges as well.

(Now if only I could wiin lotto and get a workshop) :o||| :o|||

Couch:
If you win Lotto Brock you won't have to worry about a workshop.........you could just go and buy one   :rofl
