Hi all,
Been a while since i was here - been busy with the day job, not much time recently for thinking about off-roading, expeditions, etc.
Anyway - I'd like to ask you all for your opinions on the following....
What are you thoughts on being able to hire an off-road trailer to take on an trip.
The trailer would be something like a Chaser from Adventure Trailers, a Globe Master from Trek overland, or a Mission, from Mission Trailers. (I'm not connected in anyway with any of these companies btw)
Trailers would be fully kitted out, just like they appear in the adds. Sinks, roof tents, (if you wanted), kitchen stuff, water tanks, spare wheels, jerry cans etc with a range of other option accessories that you may need, High lift Jacks, hand held winches, sandmatts...you get the idea.
Buying any one of these models from new with a full complement of kit would set you back best part of £12 - 14,000.
I am thinking the advantages would be..
You don't have to layout that kind of money for an item that realistically you may only use twice a year.
You don't have to store it.
It's a good way to' try before you buy'
It's a good way to encourage friends along on an expedition - they'll already have a 4x4 but perhaps not all the other kit and this way its easier to go together.
So, do you think this is a good idea? Has anyone ever thought, 'i wish i could hire one of these rigs?'
What do you think would be a fair weekly hire price?
All the best
