After our recent trip to Jamieson, I'm re-thinking the way I pack for extended trips away. My cousin chose to bring a trailer, and while at first I thought it was a little overkill, come home time I was certainly envious watching him simply throw everything into it and cover it with a tarp while I meticulously arranged everything back onto my roof rack and into the back of my Disco.
Other reasons I'm thinking of going the trailer route are that I can leave the trailer in the garage and pack it, leaving the Disco free for the wife or myself to use in the meantime. Having the rear cargo area of the Disco free will allow us to bring our black Lab on trips with us (Jamieson would have been perfect for him but he had to stay home due to lack of room), and I would no longer have to ask someone to help me install/remove the roof rack for every trip (the Disco doesn't fit in the garage with the rack on).
So, all you fellow trailer-using forum friends, post up your trailers, give me your opinions on where I should start shopping, what I should be looking for, whether I should go pre-made or custom, any advice that you feel like offering up.
Cheers
Matt
EDIT: funny that the first website I went to I found this (note the rims/stud pattern)
