I wouldn't count on them being the cheapest but at least the will make what you want and you know its going to be better than a foam mattress.

Regarding the tyres i think 3dogs is referring to the tyre size being compatible to the car that’s towing it diameter/offset so you only need one spare. if your doing remote stuff id still take 2 spares or at a minimum a tube or two also

Franks spare is up under the tub & Rocky has his own mounted on trailer (the pic is from website but mines the same)

Really depends how remote you travel , but the better you can match up tyre sizes even
if only for emergencies the better. Spares only to get you to next stop for repairs
Meant to update on the info I got from the modification team at the Qld Department of Main Roads (phoned them Friday)
Trailer mounted controllers are not illegal in QLD however he did say they must be activated by the towing vehicle braking...

Makes perfect sense - doubt we will ever go anywhere "remote" but certainly will remember what you've said when Frank comes due for new tyresQuote:

I have a question that I have never understood but never bothered to ask. (sorry for hi-jacking Amelia haha)
Why do people put aggressive tyres on their trailers? Even seen Centipedes on a trailer before. My thinking is that the trailers don't drive at all they just get dragged along so why bother having expensive ATs or even MTs on them? Happy to be shown wrong as I'm sure I will be.
Hi Jack away .. ;)

Its like the e-penis thing with computers. Just cause they can, to match up whats on the vehicle. But in a camper trailer case you might call it a t-penis.Quote:

Ive got 33" mtz on car and trailer when we do trips but i got the tyres off the car at 50% and put em on the trailer and bought new for on the car easy way of getting good tyres on the trailer and better clearance also.
Also amelia If you do an axel under leaf swap and larger tyres keep in mind the tent floor is designed to go so low and may not reach the ground as well
Not having a dig at you Amelia. In this case was really referring too camper trailers in general, not yours. Apologies if it was offending.
Wasn't offended in slightest :) takes more than that LOL and lets face it I do have a t-penis HAHAHAHAHAHAHAQuote:

Nah Winnie its so your trailer will follow the tow 4x4 better, smooth tread loaded trailer, it'll just "slip" off the track.
More aggressive tyres allow the trailer to bite in a bit more. It works, trust me.
Need all the diameters the same especially if in 4x4. you may get "wind up"
that can be expensive.
^^^^^^
There you go. I'll go eat my words for brekkie this morning...
Mudski, would look great as well if trailer rims matched the tow vehicle. Sort of over Sunnies on evevrything, but nothing else out there thats affordable
One day they will match exactly LOL I got a thing for symmetry. Had a big arse, dual axle dog trailer a few years back - cost a fortune to buy new rims so it matched my car. Then got the boat - same again except my ex kept the boat and my freeking wheels!! LOL
Brad is shaking his head cuz had a shower tent chucked in which was green - I went out yesterday and bought a blue one cuz the green didn't match the canvas on my trailer
ETA : anyone want a near new (been used once) green oztrail popup shower tent??
Awwww Brad loves Rocky too - raining here & he's working on his hubs .. Instead of kicking Rocky out in the rain he's put his mower out in it and only has half of Amelia in shed ...Attachment 21488

Fine thats ok then, as you were. damn them others
Opinions please ... Just wondering how to go about maintaining the batteries in the trailer whilst its sitting in the shed?
The guy we bought it from just set up the solar panels on the front of trailer with his garage door open - sun isn't really in the right spot to do this (well shed isn't LOL)
Should I buy a trickle feeder that plugs into power or just pull trailer out on weekend and give it some sun on the solar panels ?? Will that be enough??

I just have my camper sitting in the back yard, but I "USE" the battery either by way of listening to the radio or "USING" the battery every other night
to light up the back yard. It's backed with 20watt panel to top the battery up. Could use both methods which is easier ??? Plus when I tow it it's charging as well.
Solar is free to,well for now anyway, grab as much as you can.
was over at a shop today so grabbed a pic of the two zone extension for the 40lt Engel
Think they do other models as well.
Awww thanx 3dogs ... Appreciate the advice

Ive just got mine on a ctek charger that maintains mine great units but not cheap http://www.ctek.com/au/en/chargers/MXS%207.0
The Redarc remote head looks like a solution BUT I already have the Prodigy. It is already mounted and completely wired in the trailer tool box but I can't access the manual control lever. Advantage is that anyone can use the trailer-- it has its own battery.
I was forward planning for a caravan, but I think I will just wait until I need it moved.
here is the link to the redark remote controller with pictures

Ive got one of these Redarc brake controllers in my patrol and it works just dandy!
My only gripe, while ever it's connected to the trailer the little green light shines oh so bright, even when the vehicle is turned off!
A real bugger when your trying to sleep at 3.00am and keep waking up to see why the "traffic lights" have turned green!!
