Its sheet running over the top but apparently the best way is coming from behind because you can see spiders that are hiding before it's too late.Quote:

There's always one
Pfft... you should see what happens if someone has a brain fart and puts it in the dryerQuote:

Should you iron it or just roll it back up?
And if the perforations don't line up, just use you sewing machine to make new lines. (As per the comedy show: One Foot In The Grave).Quote:

I want to fit an air driven or hydraulic driven motor to the diff.
This way I could move and also recover the trailer.
It could also help to power the set up through tough terrain and up steep hills.
It might also be set up as a descent brake, so the pads and discs don't get hot and fade.
I wonder if it would have to be registered as a motor vehicle.
That's not a silly question. The whole thing is a stoopid statement. You're in the wrong thread!
Please see the 'It makes perfect sense to me I'm a Victorian!' thread. Bahahaha
seems a lot of work for little return, whats wrong with 10" electric brakes, I welded a rear
receiver onto my camper if need be to recover, Even for long term remote touring I cant see the
value of it, sounds good on paper though
What weight trailer you talking about mate.??
You remember my home-made camper don't you? Anyways, I thought it would be a good way to carry spares:P
The problem with a front gq diff is..
Knuckle joints..
You'll have to fix these..
Shafts..
They are supported by the diff center..
Imo..
What's wrong with a skid plate for the hitch.
If you need to recover it add the hitch skid plate and drag it out..
Now the "extra drive"?
How will you start and control this drive?
When your in shit and contemplating a second drive you've clearly gone to far..
But more importantly are you going to risk it all to jump out, engage hubs and start whatever power sorce you have for the extra axle?
Then there's all that weight hauling around for the sake of a few spares..
But say you do brake a cv joint 2nd day of your 10 day trip??
Your going to leave your camper??
Either way in that setup something is going home on a trailer..
Imo it's much easier to carry a spare long and short cv and a few sets of bearings.. including trailer stub axles..
Get yourself a motorized jockey wheel so you can move the trailer around.

I love the serious replies. We think way too much:)
The man just came up with an idea. Maybe it needs some work on the details
But I think having some form of power to the trailer wheels would be a pretty good thing.
Details, details mere details. Fu the nay sayers.
Instead of a spare wheel bracket, i have already mounted a complete stub axle with bearings to hold the hub and spare, (Falcon rims) so at worst I need a grinder and welder to get going again. Purchasing a 12v welder and air operated grinder is on my to do list.
Far easier to do than you probably think. Use a rear diff though one from a leaf rear patrol of some sort to make mounting under a trailer easier. The drive part is easy. Use an engine driven hyd pump with a nice basic circuit and a cheap little motor mounted to the diff pinion and away you go.
I thought the front hubs would be easier so fuel wasn't being wasted. Just lock 'em in when you do the front ones. Have a control panel on the dash so you don't have to even get out to run it. Lock the tie rod in so the tyres are straight and use leaf springs mounted to the coil spring seats.
land rover has been here already... i think they set up a pto. to drive the trailer axle.Quote:

You're absolutely correct and it was a disaster. Someone else tried it a number of years back as well,remember seeing it on the box.Quote:

If you're seriously considering this @mudnut the footage may still be available for the sake of a google search.
Christ only knows how you would word it though!

Down side is that set up uses a drive through diff on the vehicle but still interesting to look at

The ability to control the speed of the drive separate to the tow vehicle would be good. I had a search and couldn't find the clip. Will keep trying though.Quote:

Yamaha did a two wheel drive motorbike a few years back. I remember seeing it in the Dakar. Hydraulic drive to a hub on the front wheel. Giving 30% power continuosly.

Try Rubery Owen trailers. Will take you to pages with that and other pto driven trailers. Seems to be a still current use in the agricultural sectorQuote:

That said', it is enormously intriguing. Hell of an amount of engineering for recreational use tho.
Tried looking at trailer Jacknife and came up with this, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgKvypPiUu8
Funkanwagnell that is brilliant!Quote:

Electric hub motors?
Could provide braking & assist, would need some smarts for traction control.
Still don't think it would be worth while.

Did someone say banjos?? :DQuote:
