    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

    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 tyres

    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.

    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.
