Hi guys

With the season for shows and outdoor events approacing fast we bought one of these:

Now, when we do shows spread over a few days we can just retire to a bit of comfort and also
transport all our equipment in one vehicle.

So, our trusty trailer has to go :( We haven't used it for a year except for storage. We paid
£1750 for it a few years ago and spent a bit kitting it out with electric points, strip lighting
and work tops. When we empty is and give it a spring clean it'll be ready for the shows.

The trailer is an AJC VT16

It has a drop down tailgate which could support the weight of a small car or cows :) With 4 wheels
it won't tip up! It also has a wind out canopy along one side. It great for doing shows and
events.

Here's a couple of pictures

Aking £950ovno before I put it on Ebay.

Very nice John. Now you can come and visit us in Germany.
Im just thinking about you driving that around the country lanes of Devon and Cornwall. That should be fun.

Seriously , if you do visit Germany, get in touch. We have a camper/Wohnmobil as well and know plenty of places to visit.

Mine's German built - Burstner.

It's quite big but I'm slowly getting used to it.

FESPA Barcelona was good.

I'll put 4 new tyres and make sure the brakes are in working order.

You need to have passed your test before 1997 and have a C1 licence or, take an additional test and pass a medical.

I passed prior to 1997 :)

Take another test, some people think they can tow trailers and caravans but the same conditions above apply - I think.
