I want to buy a new registered lightweight 6 x 4 Box Trailer from Caringbah Sydney shortly, need it brought down to Albury or Melbourne.
So if anyone needs the use of such trailer, (600kg GVM), for this route.
PM me.
Cheers

No manufacturers make light/medium duty around here!

I'm looking for a light trailer for a holiday / windsurf transport.

The caringbah based trailers on ebay look to be a well priced unit.
Nice tie down points and comes registered.
Not sure on Quality, but for the money, 5 - 10 years life would be enough!

Wanting it ready by Xmas holidays, for a trip to the coast with my full kit for once.

Do you have a URL (again, not helping you, but interesting none-the-less).

Here you go, this is the one i'm looking at, probably others out there, but this one suits me. What have you seen around this price? Any ideas on making this a good holiday hauler are welcome.

Hi ShireSUP,
Thats perfect, will PM you.

Seaskip, you can buy one in Melbourne for that price.

I went and took a look at the trailer place, as I don't live that far away. They seem okay. They look like they build a lot of trailers.

I asked for other sizes, and he quoted $675 for the 6x4, $775 for a 7x4, and $875 for a 8x4. I also asked if you could leave the front open, and he said that they can have a front tailgate for an extra $60.

I figure it would be good to be able to fit most boards inside, but some boards I have are too long for even a 8x4. I should have asked about a 9x4...

I also asked about the stud pattern, and they can do commodore or ford stud patterns. This matters to me, as I think its better to match them to the towing car, if you have a commodore or falcon.

In Dec 2011 I had a custom 6 x 4 made by Australian trailers in Mordialloc for around $1k with the following:

Extended drawbar (easier towing but now have to register, but $40 P/A in Vic is great)
Spare tyre mounted on drawbar
removable 3 bike rails c/w with all fittings and proper tie down points front and rear.
deeper sides
LED lights
Swinging jockey wheel
Jerry can holder
Front and rear 'tailgates'
750kg rating

It was so good I gave a bottle of bundy to the guy that built it.

I would only give a bottle of Bundy Rum to my worst enemy and I live in the town where they make the crap.

Mount Gay Genuine Eclipse Barbados Rum. Same price and far superior quality.

The best rums in the world are made in the Carribean. Appleton Reserve is one of the finer but the best I have had is Old Oak made by Angostura (you know. They are the guys that make Bitters in the little white paper covered bottle.), often imitated but never duplicated.

The favoured rum drink during Antigua Race Week and the rest of the year in the Caribbean is called the "Caipurinia".

It consists of a teaspoon of raw sugar with a half a lime crushed into it with a wooden stick, two ice cubes, a double measure of rum to which can be added your choice of water, soda or Indian Tonic water.

Follow that recipe and drink it and you will never pollute a decent rum with cola ever again.

When I first visited the place (Friday arvo) he was having a bundy and cola can.

If he is happy, who is to say nay. Each to their own.

Try a Caipurinia. It may change your taste or opinion on rum.

Just chattin' in the chat room.
