Default Good source for trailers?

Anyone know where I can get a small aluminium trailer from cheaply?

I have seen one in the local paper for £125 but that seems close to
what they cost new.

TIA.
Rob

I'm not sure 'aluminium' and 'cheaply' would be in the same sentance?

I have seen one in the local paper for +AKM-125 but that seems close to
what they cost new.


Would that be a galvanised steel one maybe Rob?

Trailers are funny things. I built one 25 years ago. It's worked hard,
still going strong and I has cost me little over all that time.

I recently bought a smaller / older (unbraked) trailer for camping /
dump runs that although was probably 'ok' was not good enough for me.
Luckily I got it fairly cheap in the first place but it's been
completely rebuilt (by me) and probably doubled it's cost. But, it's
now 'as good as new' and I'd now tow it to Scotland and back knowing
nothing was going to seize up / fall off.

I'm not sure I'd even feel that way about a new one?

All the best ..

Which part of the country are you in ? I know a good supplier in
Stoke-on-Trent area - better product than the tin pot flimsy steel types
that you get in your local Halfords.

Cheers,
Tim.

Do you need a trailer? I bought a bak-rak www.bak-rak.com - its a
neighbours firm- but carries 60kg without any hassle.

Just a thought
