rooferman Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Nice.....I always thought car transporters had to be twin axle ? I keep thinking about buying a trailer rather than hiring...but not got anywhere safe to keep it.You got a fair journey to pick it up !

FQNICK Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Would go for a twin wheel if i ever bought one.A blow out and that's it, at least with two you have a chance,. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep thinking about buying a trailer rather than hiring...but not got anywhere safe to keep it.You got a fair journey to pick it up !No mate.....single or twinIt depends where I'm picking it up from ;-)Would go for a twin wheel if i ever bought one.A blow out and that's it, at least with two you have a chance,.If you have a blow out on twin axle you've still got to pull over and change the wheel.....that's what I'll do!!!Trailered my speedboat with single axle no probsI figure If all trailer blow outs were total loss then they would all be twin axle and that would take a hell of a lot of trailers and most caravans off the road!!!Hmmmmm caravans off the road now that's a thought!!!!

hendo Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Wheel overtook me of my trailer! Car was ok though. Looks a good buy. It's storing the things that can be a pain in the arse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KETTERING STI Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 I remember that sir grey head your face was a picture when we pulled up behind you...Lucky it had 4 wheels as I remember a second wheel decided to vacate the trailer aswell Think someone over tightened the barring nuts?

It's storing the things that can be a pain in the arse.I measured it mate......it fits down the side of yours still ;-)The reason I wanted a lighter weight trailer is this can double up as a trailer for our motorbikes and be easily towed by the campervan into France!!!!

FQNICK Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Wasn't being funny Ady if you have a blow out with a twin axle trailer it's easier to control.Ever seen a trailer go , not a pretty site.Just saying a twin would be my choice.

whiteknuckleride Posted January 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Yeah.......new where your coming from but this suits requirements for more than just track carGood maintenance of trailer is what's needed......and what it will getA front blow out in an Evo/Subaru at speeds above a ton is not something I would like either.......doesn't stop us though does it? ;-))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forest4ever Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Nice buy Ady.....What you gonna use to pull it??Been looking at some myself...they seem to fetch around £500...would you think thats a fair price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
