Off road trailer

Hi all,

What are the options for an off road trailer?

I know there are the Sankey trailers but what options are there as to size and are the brakes on them discs or drums.

What other trailers are there?

Looking for something that will follow me off road too.

Thanks Ian

Hi.. New to the site so just seen your post. Off Road Trailers - these can be a pain in the 'back-side' whilst they can be the provider of lots of space they can be a real headache. They sap power when driving over soft ground / sand, and can cause real problems on twisty tracks.

It a toss up, I can see the pros but personally would not consider one to drag behind me when off roading. Very Happy Cheers

Looks very good. I have an original Sankey as well. I am not saying they are no good at off-roading but there has to be a compromise.

Happy New Year !!! Cheers
