Oh, perhaps you are thinking i'm going to transport them full??

Indeed. Although I'm confused now. First it was gas bottles, now it is
empty
Aquarolls. Just what are you transporting? Do you mean that you need to
shift the Aquarolls out of the way to make room for the gas bottles?

Christian.

Bah and double bah!

Just typed a long reply and g**gle trashed it!

We've just bought the Aquarolls, so need to accomodate them (in an
already full trailer) so plan was to put make room for the Aquarolls in
the trailer by putting the gas bottles on the outside of the box.

I think my favorite at the moment is to get some 1/2" ply approx 2'
high and make a kind of box without a bottom or a lid to fit just
inside the existing trailer box. I can then use the existing soft
cover on it. Won't gain a whole lot of height, but overall it should
give approx 6 cubic feet of extra space, which should be plenty.

I think given that some of the stuff is fairly light (though some is
pretty heavy) I should still fall within the 400Kg limit of the
trailer.


Years a go I made an upward extension of 18" to my trailer by making a cage
out of reinforcing mesh (about 6" square mesh made of 5mm diameter steel the
sort used for concrete floors)

bent it to shape a treat and welded the corners lift up flap at the back
padlock for some security etc

made fixings to fit it to the trailer and a new cover from lorry side
curtain material machined up on SWIMBO's sewing machine with upholstery
thread and leather needle)

Mind you I had built the trailer myself in the first place

Used it for camping holidays in France for several summers, its done about
6,000 miles by now and apart from needing new shock cord is as good as new

Well worth the effort but I suppose it depends on how much you intend to use
yours
