you need to own your own trailer busy so you can customize it for your vans.. its too hard to find trailers that are ok with beddys.. especially custom ones!

vehicle to vehicle ? line towing, like with a tow rope? the missus wont even drive

no would never suggest with a rope  :o toooo scary by half...  :o  was thinking more along the lines of a solid tow bar  would be much saferer,  no chance of ramming tow vehicle , but it would still need to regoed to be on road..ja?? 48 hour rego pass may be the go.. just say its goin there for final work  then back to where you live for rdworthy on mon....or.... maybe swap rego plates if  you have a regod beddy...  ::) ( or someone you know has ) ::)... tch tch tch who said that ??

Good call benny, if we are going to build custom rides, the ease of a custom trailer is a must, built to suite a beddy would solve all busy's problems. I had one built for my bobcat, have sold that no. Hey busy, it may cost a few coins to start with, but by the sounds of things it would never sit idle. To late for this show, but maybe down the track.

the A-Frame wont work as the front of the custom van is to low, well is 150mm off the ground but spoiler is way lower than the front beam.

I would love a trailer but have no where to put it. I already have 2 vans, motorbike and girlfriends car here, plus another bedford shell at neighbours workshop.
And there is a guy on trade me selling a flat deck CF and another selling 5 bedford vans as a lot ... WHEN i win lotto i'm buying a HUGE farm, the missus can be the crazy cat lady and I'll be the crazy bedford guy

Plan E is to buy a trailer, use it and then sell it straight after, but again trying to find one it will fit on. No time to build one
