Need to buy a car trailer. Are they all much and such?

[aliasojo]

Is one make/model of trailer better than another or are they all just pretty similar?

We need to buy a medium size trailer and not sure where to look or what make/model to look at. Dont want to waste money but want a quality trailer and not necessarily the cheapest of the cheap. It will mainly be getting used for moving furniture / picking up large items / going to the dump etc. Suggestions would be welcome. :)

Sorry Chippy, I have no idea what you're talking about? What company? :confused:

I wouldn't look past an Ivor Williams personally (unless i was going really cheap). If moving furniture best to get a bit of suspension, I have driven too many with no suspension and everything is bouncing around (getting broken) on our bad roads.

At least the website will help you narrow the search down a bit.

just a footnote, if using it for going to a council owned tip, check as some wont allow a trailer with 2 axles in

keep an eye on ebay/local ads, dont rush into anything

dont be put off by it not having electrics (orbroken electrics) as you can fix the electrics really easily or just buy a generic lighting board for about 20 quid

I buy them, use them, tidy them up and sell them on for a profit with ease

Thanks username but that's way more than I want to pay and you're also not allowed to offer things for sale on the site I'm afraid.
