Who uses a trailer with their Bay and how Handy is It ?

there are some tasty 1970's westfalia trailers being sold for £500 on ebay at the moment
*westy porn...mmmm*

 

I find mine very handy with 4 kids.

 

The comments about too much stuff is plausible for you normal camper owners but us few with twin sliders have naff all space.

The only reason I'm looking for one is to tow mini bumble to shows, I'd get a roof rack for extra storage.

 

This is what Ive got.... sorry about the tug vehicle ;D ;D ;D



Sleeps two or fill with c**p

 

I liked this single wheeler on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261041594315?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

 

Just bought a Franc GA150 for ours after much dilebration. Main reason was that the Fiamma takes mine and the wife's bikes on the back but we had to put my sons in the van and after getting a dog as well it just became too much. Used it at Alive N Dubbin last weekend for the first time and very impressed. Hardly know it's there and will definately be one of those extras that once you have one, you wouldn't be without one. Looking to get a tow bar fitted to one of our daily drivers to use for runs to the tip and collecting fire wood now.

 

Ill be buying an ex forces sankey trailer once my bus is finished and converting it to my needs
Yes it will be very usefull

 

i would like a trailer to take stuff in but i have nowhere to store it oh and no tow bar
i agree that with kids and a day bus with no stoarge space everything just put in boxes or bags and just piled in
so to put firewood, bbq, bikes and all the other junk in will stop the bus getting damaged and leave room to get people in it.

 

Now the crewie has gone, I'm currently trawling ebay for a trailer !!!

 

I'd say you wouldn't need a bay with this one...

this is our so useful for taking far to much crap camping lol

 

With the amount of junk we take with us :-[ :-[ (and we are travelling lite honest ) Ours is so usefull we have gone and stuck a roofrack on it!

 

So how much does it affect fuel consumption - we've got a 2-litre T4 engine, so are getting anywhere between 17 and 24mpg without (depending on the steepness of hills etc).

Not so much of an issue here with petrol at anywhere between 61 & 67p per litre (about 91 octane in RON terms), but would still be nice to know - it's so easy to do 1,000 mile+ round trips, even for a weekend!
