It's an old ladies' tent - I don't have to crawl and I can have a table and chair, and when I'm using the trailer I'll have a camp bed as well!
Junk indeed..............
------- goes off muttering................
I bought a new tent last year and was gobsmacked at the size of it! Can park my Beach Bastard in it and still have room to cook and sleep. |

Now then, seriously folks - do you think this looks too big? It doesn't stick out at the side as much as the first pics seems to show cos I had put it to one side to avoid the numberplate but.......

I agree - it's extra weight as well - block who had it before put in cos of carrying wood etc. Though I would like to get a hard top made so I can lock it - wonder if it's possible to get hold of some similar light alloy to the trailer body?

My 2p.......An Aluminium cover would be good,but not too deep(high).Personally I would go for a flat lid with a slight curve in it left to right,easy to do ,therefore cheaper to have made.I also think the wood needs to go,and maybe colour co-ordinate it to 'blend' it in with the trike, possibly a stripe all round it in blue would make it look lower ,and round off the stripe at the ends to make it look less boxy.

Nice curved hinged ali lid on gas struts so you don't have to lift it, (second hand car hatchback struts). Or a flat lid that lifts off, with hinged legs inside that fold out to form a camping table. Some custom wheels to match the trike ones -you could use bigger diameter wheels & set the axle/indespension units up into the trailer base & crank the hitching arm so it sits lower to the ground, which would make it look smaller as well as lowering it's centre of gravity to improve handling. Set the rear lights & number plate into the rear face of the box for a smoother, custom look. Fit a caravan battery in the trailer to power all your camping accessories, (enough room in there for a microwave!). Handy for jumpstarting the trike too if you ever need it. Take the whole lot to Loony, Clive or VooDoo for a matching trike/trailer custom paintjob. 60s/70s lace effect paint's back in fashion with some wild candy or 'flake panelling. Loony's keen to try his hand at that. Clive could reproduce your avatar cartoon on the sides of the box. Or VooDoo could give you a deep lustrous pearl lacquer over a marbled base. Lots of room there for young Ryan to go crazy with his pinstriping. If ByzMax is updating the trike, maybe ol' Gertie deserves a face lift while she's apart too Bobbi. |

All sound good but the bank manager wouldn't like it!
Might get my son in law to have a go at a stripe on the trailer - he's an artist with a rattlecan!

That looks a similar size to the one hobbit used to pull with his cx trike Bobbi. He had his power chair in it as well as all the camping gear and it went all over. Should do you a good job |

Did I read somewhere there is a maximum width for trike trailers? Think it is 1 metre? Is that o/all width or the track width ,ie to the centre line of the tyres or summat? Also a maximum length ,something to do with the distance from rear axle of trike to the rear of trailer? Cant find where I read it now,p'raps Im talking gibberish (as usual,according to swmbo! ) |
