Sorry,cant find the thread I started about this a while back!
After seeing the size of some of the trailers at trikefest (including Rob62's) and also how some were loaded,including stuff on the rack of the trikes as well ,Im convinced that mine could easily pull a trailer! Couldnt understand why there were only a handful of custom style trailers either,and they were only bought ones.
So SWMBO and I sat down and talked about what we would really take on our france trip if we had a trailer,and would the extra stuff be an advantage? Ha! The only way we could see an advantage is by not having to pack(squash
) so many clothes into 2 rucksacks,by taking a suitcase.Also we could take a small table. We have already commited to a 4 man tent ,so that doesnt gain any points!A portaloo,(not convinced that frog toilets are ok,so a great advantage) also we could take a duvet,as well as the sleeping bags we intend to take anyway.
So as part of the toe dipping excercise, I e mailed the ferry and the tunnel to see if they could accomodate the trailer..awaiting replies. Extra cost for the trailer would be roughly£120 (plus fuel) We arent deciding just yet,and of course I need time (a weekend I reckon to get the shape and another w/end to finish it) to build a custom style trailer.
