Single Axle Trailer
Neadles - 20/5/13 at 01:45 PM

I am on the look out for a single axle trailer if anyone knows of one going to fit a Fury, please let me know I have a budget of about £650 for one and have had no success with ebay yet! I need it to be plate max of 1300kg to keep me in the stupid B license only

Thanks

Ill be amazed if you will find a decent trailer for your budget you will need to spend about 1k ish....piston heads gumtree motorsport forums ebay .

Oops just saw your budget. You won't get a decent trailer for that money, you may pick up a home built or converted caravan chassis for that, but you won't get a named manufacture one for much less than a grand

I am selling a caravan chassis if you want to build your own trailer, axle is is rated at 1200kg. Send me a u2u if interested.

I picked up a Brian James Mnno on this forum for less than that... But it took a long time of waiting and searching to get something half decent! eBay is not great for cheap trailers - Gumtree might be worth a look?

Did you see this? Not single axle, but it fits the budget!

I have a home built one that I bought from someone on this forum a while back I think I'm going to sell for fair bit less than your budget.

It's good strong trailer that tows well but It's not plated.

Hi

I was wondering when you passed your test? No ones restricted to 1300kg, it'll either be 750kg or 3500kg or a vehicle/trailer combo.

Check out the link below this years revised legislation.

Hope this helps

I have seen a few go for the price I want to spend but its just a waiting game I know!

So if you have a new license its got easier so us in between seem duped if you ask me! The issue with my silence (post 97 pre 13) is that the MAM of the trailer cannot be larger than the kerb weight of the Car so for me around 1500KG so most twin axles have a MAM of 2-2.5 tonnes which would but me over the limits so a Trailer MAM of 1300kg + Car MAM of 1800kg is what I need so if the trailer is plated I need it to be 1300kg.


Dave I would be interested as home built doesn't bother me!

Cheers

You'd probably be better off looking into the E entitlement my mate looked into it about 18mths ago think they wanted about £80-100 and it was a days course!
