A quick update on this.... I am still planning on doing this but a Sankey Trailer has come up cheap where the tub is completely rotten but the frame is solid so I will be building on this instead... This dose mean that the trailer will he wider then the car but it will be off road ready

One main reason I am using the Sankey is cost. All the running gear and basic frame is going to cost me at least £500 if not more where this Sankey is costing me about £50

Everything except from the basic frame and running gear will be chucked and weight saved by using my own design to build a new tub...

Also I will be replacing the bow springs with softer ones which will cost me £30 a side

Cost is a big problem for me so this option seems the best

That was my first thought too.

JJ - how heavy do you think that it will when finished and loaded?

Some Suzukis and a bunch of motorcycles.
