Hi
l ( sorry WE) currently own two trailers and a caravan.
Trailer one is a Indespension box trailer because we were( Haveish) moving house . It's far to heavy for me to drag up our slightly up hill drive at the old place and I cannot get the truck in to tow it out so I have had to buy one of those hand winchs that fit your towbar to get it out. I borrowed one of those cheap electric winchs that was as shit as expected.
The road at the new place is narrow and because of the gate angle I cannot reverse in . I could turn around and reverse in
but it's a cul-de-sac and there's not enough room to turn around .
I cannot winch it in cos I cannot get the truck in first .
Here it is at the new place after Myself and Mrs Thunder pushed it in but after a heated discussion ( which I lost) after nearly taking out the gate post its being used for storage at the old place till I figure a way of moving it on my own

Does anyone know if those powered jockey wheels work. I still won't admit I bought a trailer that's too big
My second trailer is a ex Anglian Water braked tanker chassis with a home made body . It's a strong old bit of kit .

and there's the Caravan An early 90s Abbey not really used it for a couple of years needs some work. Anyone want it for free Can deliver locally currently situated between Gorleston and Lowestoft after the virus has gone naturally.

Hi
It needs from memory the floor in the kitchen area is springy which means it's de-lamanating also the shower tray is cracked . We just use to use the showers on site. There been some water ingress from the kitchen window . I think it's the seal. The gas fire does not work .It will need another leisure battery. It had been stood in a field for a couple of years but last May I towed it from East Northamptonshire to Norfolk (130miles) with no problems Here's a couple of interior shots taken when we stopped using it. I was going to sell it then but the impending house purchase fell through so I just stored it
It has deteriorated a bit since.

Colour me interested please. I've just got to work out logistics of bringing it back to Derbyshire and the only vehicle I have with a towbar is a reliant trike!

After much towage and a bit of smoke (200tdi) I sold the P4 to someone on the beige. He presumably had no stomach for the place and quickly departed. Good choices.
