So after a couple of years slumming it in a 10x6 enclosed trailer I got fed up living like a hobo at the track and offroading. So, new trailer time..
Picked up an all aluminium 16x7 with a ramp door that had been partially RV'd by the PO.
AC unit, 50A electrical inlet, lighting, insulation rv windows and doors with mozzy screens and a closed ceiling....
So after a little bit of upgrades like new floors, kitchen counter and storage cupboards, she's a proper bougy little thing.
Pop up shelter outside, camping shower and gas cookers means a little more comfort at the track or in the forests when offroading.
Yes, totally over the top but F it, why not..

By Canadian standards that's tiny

I had a 28' Fifth wheel with slide out a few years ago but I prefer to travel lighter in a LWB Sprinter these days

That's epic.

Looks huge by UK standards!

Any pictures of the outside?

How many bikes does it carry?

Crikey that's massive! How heavy is it with bikes in it?

If i fit the Pitbull trailer restraint units I'm thinking 3 bikes, 2 across the mid to front and one in the back. That should keep the weight forward of the axles.
Trailer itself is 16x7 twin axle with electric brakes but being fully aluminum it's surprisingly light for its size.
But towing it with a 6 liter V8, fuel economy isn't going to be a high point!

LOL, I had 1,700lbs of coffee beans in the back of my truck the other day, even that was hairy in the corners.
