- Great Job
Think Baby T could perhaps doo with a name stuck on the back in a similar fashion to Tallulah

| Did some more tinkering tonight, a couple of minor mods to Tallulah then took the fully loaded trailer for another road test.
It felt quite different fully loaded, more sturdy, much less bouncing and considerably quieter. Nothing fell off so all is good and now ready for its first proper adventure, the trip to Portsmouth on Saturday and beyond!

| All your hard work has encouraged me to spend a few hours on bringing Gordon (the name of our trailer - as in Commissioner Gordon) up to scratch - will not be able to match the lovely chrome work though! | |

- The trailer needs to be less than 85% of the towing vehicle's unladen weight and if over 750kg it would need to be braked.
I'm sure I read on a previous post that 800kg was the max but I might be wrong. Thanks - for the info I am towing about 530kg so it kind of fits in the parameters ( but it really feels like it is struggling) hate to think what it is like for the actual permissible load . Bought a Williams trailer and as you say you have to have it braked above 750kg luckily ours was under that. Really like the refurb trailer with chrome and matching colour looks great well done. | |

| I picked up a sub £100 trailer on Ebay today and had a good look at this topic to get some ideas. Certainly needs a lick of red paint and some shiny wheel arches. Eddie doesn't have his tow bar fitted yet put a bit of huffing and puffing and we managed to fit the trailer inside to bring it home!  | |

| Looks like a decent trailer for less that £100, nice one.
Maybe we should start another forum - kombztrailers.com ! ________________________________________________________________________________ www.alpinegrovetouringpark.com

| It's the school holidays so I finally got round to giving the trailer a lick of paint. It's in no way the same standard as Baby Tullulah but it's cheap, functional and should allow plenty of room for all the donuts we're bringing to the sleepover.  Just need to make the fabric cover now.....  | |

| Great job HH, liking the two tone. Is the cover going to be red or white? | |

| I did think about a white cover but my practical head won and went for red. I might think about making a white version for special occasions.  | |

| Looks great HH , a friend of mine popped round earlier in the week and has convinced me that I need a colour coordinated trailer too and has offered some assistance so we're scouring ebay for a bargain. ________________________________________________________________________________ Steve, Jo TigerLily and Carra the Child lovin' Golden Cocker  | |

| Cool. The kombi konvoy will look amazing this year with everyone's matching trailers!

| Another cracking conversion. Just like the Kombis, no two trailers are the same.  ________________________________________________________________________________  Ginger man without a ginger van | |

| Superb effort!  I reckon to finish the job, your Kombi needs its steels painting white now and white banded tyres. ________________________________________________________________________________ Max SportsKombi - The Bay Racer
