Our little ex British Army trailer

[Omaroo]

A friend of ours brough this one over from Scotland (where he lived) crammed full of his belongings. He decided to offload it once he reached our shores to get another one (larger I believe) instead.

We've used it as a camper-trailer quite successfully, and with the rooftop tent it's an absolute ripper. Go the pintle!!

Cheers
Chris

Nice Setup

Is that an Eezy Awn tent?

Where did you get it? ,as I am looking into that option for my round OZ trip to supplement the caravan when we want to go Offroad

Hi Harry https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

EezyAwn and Howling Moon are both imported by Open Sky Pty Ltd ( http://www.opensky.com.au ) by a bloke called Hans. He distributes them through lots of places - and they are listed on his website.

We currently have two - one we shared between the GQ and the trailer - and the one we got with our new Defender. We may look to sell one - but don't know when... we may in fact decide to keep both for a while.

Best things for a good night's sleep. We love them.

Hey great little trailer, nice and easy to setup for those overnighters.

Baz.

Thanks Omaroo.

If I was still living in Canberra I might have asked to have a look and probably tried to twist your arm to sell one, as I am in Perth I will go to Opposite Lock as they are listed as the WA agent.

Can you recall the price of the tent and the awning?

best regards

[Omaroo]

No worries Harry https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

The tent is the EezyAwn Elite model - the middle-sized one. From memory it's 2.44m long and 1.4m wide.

Tent: approx $2,500 new
Awning: approx $1,500 new (thereabouts - I think)

Cheers
Chris

It's jinda funny, but your trailer preceeds you. Not that long ago a pic of your trailer poped up here in a conversation, rather ironic I think https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

Always wondered what those trailers where like, u see them for sell in the UK LRO mags all the time, look strong enough, would be good if we could import some https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

What is it like to tow ?

Do u know what hubs are on them ??

Are they strong ??

I think it was rocket that had a contact who brought a few in from the UK, but the end cost per unit was something like $2000

OK... think i'll skip that idea, get a heavy duty trailer built here for $1k and probably last longer too https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

Photos seem to be gone ?

For those interested in rooftop tents - Henry (greylandy) is importing / selling the range of Hannibal off-road products from South Africa including rooftop tents. He is currently advertising on this site or you could PM him.

they are 3k each or thereabouts, and there is no way in hell you could build a stronger trailer than these for 1k, fully braked etc etc etc, the materials would cost you more than that wholesale.

but 3k is a different story....

[Nigger]

I'd be interested in one for $3k. Is there any more about the place? I am currently importing a beauty but a tad small from www.milspecoffroad.com These will cost you best part of $10k by the time it gets here but I am getting it as a special deal.

Keen on the Pommie one thou!
