Solid trailer, good value for money!

Good trailer, solid deck. Already drove more than 1000km with it, really good value for money! Has been standing in the rain a bit outside as well, so far I have got no complaints!

Trailer

My trailer wasn't wired up properly so failed the first warrant check. Unfortunately I picked up too late to get a warrant in Auckland so travelled back to Northland with an incorrectly wired trailer.

Great trailer at a good price

No complaints here, great trailer. Would be better if it came with a warrant and rego but the trailer is decent otherwise. Happy with the purchase.
