Re: Camping trailer
Dankie Jorrie en Dirk.
David, yes but. Give Clem a little while to sort out the legalities, then we can discus it in more detail.

Re: Camping trailer
3 options that I know of.Chris Skinner wrote:Hi Peter - Ive also been considering making a bike trailer but have heard its nigh on impossible to get a home build registered and roadworthy. What do you plan to do regards this aspect?
1. Buy an old stuffed trailer with papers and use it's reg and VIN etc.
2. Some of the trailer builders will do it for you for about R 2 k.
3. I have heard that some of the trailer suppliers will do it for you if you have bought all the parts from them, ie axle, wheels, towbar coupling etc......
I know a guy in the industry and will ask him when I see him tomorrow.

Re: Camping trailer
Hi Peter. Been off air for a long time, then I come back to your build, WOW!!! great thinking, planning, photos and explanation of work done and progress. I hope you don't mind if I steal some of your ideas and ask for advice from you in the distant future when I convert a big catering trailer into a camping trailer.

Re: Camping trailer
That's a great way to do it as long as the gross weight remains the same Chris.
