Ive made my own camping trailer, rear door opens and removes, roof box fitted for more room, quick release cycle rack, for 3 bikes and upgraded tow hitch. Being a steel frame with heightened wooden sides Ive fitted retractable washing lines and light hooks on the sides etc etc
No matter what trailer you buy, get at least one spare wheel and the most important thing a bottle jack and brace to change said wheel at the road side

Really sound advice. As long as you have the space to store it, large and low is good!

A few months in now and the Erde 193 had had more use than I’d ever have imagined. It’s been used for work several times and has rendered our roof box completely obsolete.

I added an upper layer to the trailer and it’s much easier to reverse now that the can see it through the Range Rover’s back window and a home made plywood top and a custom made waterproof cover, that extends nearly to the trailer bed makes it much more waterproof than the ABS cover would have been.

Highly recommended. Would buy slightly larger another time though.

For anyone considering buying one, google “Daxara 218”.

This is a slightly larger and more robust version, from the same manufacturer, that’s recently been on offer on the internet for less than the internet pricing on the (inferior) Erde 193!
