Who has a B'rakah trailer

Post by ricster »

Is there anyone that has had a B'rakah off road trailer? I have recently bought one, and gave it a test run a few weekends back with a fishing trip with the guys from my office. It towed like a dream and hardly felt the extra weight. The trailer is pretty much kitted with everything from 90L fridge to kitchen drawer unit and Honda generator to tent.
BUT....
The only thing that for me is a bit of an issue is the getting to the fridge for a cold one. There are no side doors other than the fold down rear door to access the kitchen drawers. I have seen pictures on Google of the same trailers with a side door. Now this would be the ideal for me as I could then ope the door and slide the fridge out. Has anyone got any info for me on this?

I found this pic and looks like it can be done.... but I don't want to get stuck in there with an angle grinder and a 4 pound hammer until I'm 110% sure of what I'm doing!!

Hi Cedric, Think I said to you the other day, I thought that they all come out with that side door?? Why don't you come round and have a look at my "new" trailer and you can see how they built them :thumbup:

:rolling: :rolling: :rolling: .... Ian you are a legend !!

I would like to come through.... but unless you open up your factory on a Saturday..... and I bring the fermented barley, malt and hobs... chilled to perfection.... I'm nut, bolt and screwed during the week to get out of the office. But I think I will have to make a plan very soon. I'm pushing a deadline for Wednesday afternoon, and then I leave for Ponto on Friday.... so might need to do this soon thereafter, if that's good with you. I will bring you the cash for the air helpers at the same time unless you want me to do an EFT.

Cedric, plan B may be a lot quicker and cheaper!! if you blow my photo up just below the clip for the second Jerry Can you can see a square tube, this is on a bracket and swings out. It makes lifting the lid with the rooftop tent on it childs play!! However it still would not solve the problem if the wife and kids are sleeping up top at midnight and you wanted a cold one out the fridge!! Wife may think it would be the best idea :lol: :surprised: :think:

haha.... yeah thought about that slight tilting of the bed whilst she is sleeping may not fair to well... I may land up on a self help program for a long time.... :rolling: :rolling:

Lifting the lid is pretty easy, but its just not convenient and when I need to send my youngest to get me a cold one....he would have to climb into the trailer as it stands at the moment :think: :think:

May it be worth while contacting the manufacturers and asking them for a quote?
