A DIY job,a hinge and swing back to the wheel when not in use,to deploy you swing it around and pin it to the main trailer drawbar.Depending upon wheelbase it will give you around 2.4 to 3m more distance between your landy and the wet boggy stuff.Look them up you can even add a 3rd wheel so you can recover the trailer/tub at low tide with a snatch strap
Something I want to do with mine for beach launches up north.

Thanks Andy, actually on the weekend we rolled the trailer down to the water on the spare. Works a treat really.
I might look into one of those extension bars that uses a tow ball to seat itself in the trailer's hitch, and also clamps to the trailer's frame for stiffening. I don't think my trailer will work with a swing out extension. I could however mount the extension bar as a permeant accessory I guess.
Suppose I need to work out how often I am going to use it in those conditions. But the way it's looking lately if we camp any where near boat-able water it comes along.
