Currently looking at this one, don't think it would need a ramp if I put the trike in first then hitched up.

My trike is just over 4ft wide and nearly 8ft long including the rack.  (good idea Snafu!)

Not sure about the 8ft - I thought it was 7 but my maths is a bit dodgy.....

Ah!  The wheelbase is 6ft 2in

Small jack under the trike, lift the front wheel clear of the ground, roll the dolly under it.

Yes, either of those!  Might be a plan!

May be talking out of my bum again but that looks like you could almost stand it on its end, attach the front wheel to it them lever it back onto its wheels

Right, I've thought about it and I'm going for it!  Would have ordered it today but I've been bodging my indicator, phoned them but too late and they've gone home.  Want to make sure they will despatch it immediately as they say 8-10 days delivery and I'm going on 14 June.

Probably a good investment.

don't know what light board you got for the box trailer. so you might need this

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/110657201698?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

and you will need these as well

i think it may be hard to try and tip the trailer fix to the wheel then pull down. just be carfull B-G.

Yes I'll need a trailer board - as the trike is 4ft wide should I get a 4ft one?

I'm going to phone them so I'll ask what's best for tying it down, they offer a lock as well which sounds like a good idea as it will be left overnight.

And I'm thinking about getting one of these as well, for locking my little trailer to the trike when left..

Don't rush in Mike - if I can't get the trike fixed by 14 June the one I've just ordered might be up for grabs!
