Title: Box trailer recommendations in Sydney
Post by: latestarter on May 29, 2015, 11:14:21 AM
Interested in hearing about positive experiences from people who have had a box trailer (off road) made in Sydney. I'm looking at getting something I can build up over time ultimately with a RTT on it, but in the mean time, use it to cart around the camping gear I already own.

I'm also interested in hearing peoples views on what is a reasonable cost. I know that is a "how long is a piece of string' question, but for example; I see a base dot trailer from drifta costs $7500 and although I don't question the quality, it is more than I would expect to pay for a trailer with not a lot on it.

Anyway ... all feedback is appreciated.

Trevor,

Thanks for the reply and the link. Can I ask, have you made progress on sheeting the frame work and if so, any pic's. I ask this as this is very much like what I have in mind.

Cheers

Our off road trailer was built by http://www.southern-cross-trailers.com.au/ (http://www.southern-cross-trailers.com.au/) we were very happy with the construction of it. Only reason we no longer have it is that old age got the better of us and we now have a poptop caravan.
