Found a beauty over in Melbourne.
Spent Sunday travelling with my own 'ANZAC' thoughts of my old mates and mates I never knew who all did their 'bit'
Picked up the trailer, drove back to Adelaide, and next is the TLC makeover.
So it won't be long before it is behind the campervan with my creature comforts and then terrorizing the white knuckle truckers with 'white line fever'

OK, put the billy on. I'll bring my own chair & biscuits.

Hi Oe Grizzly
What sort of a campervan do you have and how much weight can it tow?
I ask as I am in a campervan too and have thought of getting a trailer to be able to take along my stuff and still have room to turn around inside the Hi Ace!
It's not that I wat to carry a lot of really heavy stuff, a good free standing tent in lieu of a awning or annex, a bicycle and k9 carrier, a small gennie perhaps, not much more really.

Ok, everyone has gone quiet on this!
Anyone out there who can answer my question re towing a small trailer with a Toyota HiAce Hi roof camper?
What I need to know is just how much weight can my part time home tow? What sort of trailer should I look for?
Anyone?

Annie

Hi Annie, as you can see we have a Hi-ace although it is not a high roof jobbie, our trailer "squeekie" is a 5' x 3' lightweight with a canvas covered frame, all up weight, I would assume would come at under 400 kgms even loaded with water, fuel and firewood

we have a genny onboard as well as full cooking facilities and a satelite dish

I wouldnt go above a 6' x 4' trailer fully enclosed and I would not exceed 600 kgms, the hi-ace has enough to pull as it is, but the above specs should come in well under that with the average trailer weight of under 150 kgms

I know I have promised before but I just dont seem to get time, but I will post some piccys of squeekys inside for you so that you may get an idea of what can be placed inside
