What trailer size to fit an Escort ???

[BigDave]

SO many BJ's to choose from. Any pointers towards size or model for Escort use chaps??

[BigDave]

Does the tyre rack and box get in teh way of the front end? Especially Droop nose Mk2 or any car with Lamps ??

My car on a clubman. Can get a little close with the tyre rack though if you have spots/nosecone

[BigDave]

Good pic cheers, I notice they also do a high tyre rack which would make life easier. Bit tight otherwise I reckon.

brian james club man trailers are always a good move, great to tow and maintain.
however ive just bought a ifor williams agri trailer which is handy for other uses.

Kev, that's the old A series.

The clubman has one piece mudguards and different rear lights etc.

(I've got a clubman 1400 by the way, tows nicely & will take a Sierra Cosworth no problem)

That pic is kinda funny.........over here the TOTAL weight needs to be near weight of tow car.

The balance weight of trailer mustn't exceed the tow bar rating. This can be found in the door jamb of most modern cars or on tow bar itself. Usually 50 to 150 kgs


I would want it ......

Easy as possible to load.
Gotta be easy to tow.
Gotta be light...and I mean light !


Some info here........................

I remember seeing your trailer when it was new Rob, think you may have touched it gently when describing its many extras!!

Roger, I see Oz is teh same as NZ and you have to have a seperate rego for your trailer, probably have to get WOF for it also? I did with my one in NZ and though its a pain the arse for us normal folks, it helps to keep some of the dangerous and stolen stuff off the roads!
