"Searching for a Squeeky"
Permalink  

Yes, I am looking for a 'Dave'  style trailer to hitch up behind my campervan so as to carry a few extra 'creature comforts' for an extended travel itinerary.

A light weight 6x4 ex tradesmans trailer would be ideal. Able to secure my goodies out of the weather.

Willing to pay a spotters fee..
Enamel mug of billy tea & a Bush biscuit.

I think he has something like $800 on it and they bring a lot more than that

they bring ridiculous prices aparently, when I went searching for one I couldnt find an enclosed 5 x 4 for under $2,000, which I thought was a bit steep so I bought mine off an old feller as a buggered up, rusted out standard 5 x 4 trailer and made many modifications to it and the total came in under $1,000 ($400 just for the canvas on the top)

I was offered $2,500 for her last time we took her out, I just laughed at the feller, it'd be like selling one of the kids, she's followed us on some fantastic trips, all with old crossply tyres too I might add

the one on ebay is a 6 X 4 which would be good behind something with a little more grunt than little blue has got and it is already closed in, looked pretty good to me
