I even tried a trailer with a stainless frame and a alloy body with rivets through rubber gaskets that wears out too as the holes oversize. For plug and play simplicity with no maintanance you cant go past a simple steel trailer that has been galvanised.

stainless steel and alloy are not up to the task when it comes to trailers.
an 8×5 would be the best option,but it is a wide trailer
I actually made up chanels from folded 3mm plate. I only needed one in the centre for the front as the corners held the bikes front whell securley. the channels at the back were only long enough to stop the rear wheel moving sideways,these were just bolted through the trailer floor,and to be honest they were not really required as the tailgate stopped them from moving about suffieiently with a rope. another option if space is a concern is the “ezytrailer” I think:unsure: it can be stowed verticaly and takes up little space,quite cheap also.
a bike trailer does its intended job beutifully,but basicly that is all it will do. Get a modified boxy and keep your rego costs down and have the added benefit of being multi functionalB) or get a duel cab ute:laugh:

A duel cab ute, I was actually considering a Hi-Ace van but kinda lost interest, It would be good for work and is 100% tax deduction. Might still consider it, either way still need a trailer, Am going to have a look at an 8*5
Cheers

AnonymousYeah, an 8×5 is the go Chris. I wish I spent the extra and got one now. My trailer is on the list for an upgrade but have to spend my pennies on other things at the mo’.
A box trailer is much more versatile than a bike trailer too. You can eve make a frame to hold the front wheels in alla TB’s nifty little wooden job
AnonymousSounds good mate. Is that a new one? If so, it’s pretty good money
II was going to say if yu are strugglingt I can get a decent new one for you for that money
AnonymousI’m going to get a slot cut out of the front of my 6×4 and get a bracket welded in to hold the front wheel in place and allow me to get the bike in straight
Always an option with a smaller trailer.
