bathcollector Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Are those Carac couplers road legal ? We sell them at work but were told they would not get a W.O.F. Farm type trailer only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 i'm pretty sure they are eh. For light trailers I'm pretty sure the coupling ruling is like for car towbars. So long as the guy doing the wof thinks it's suitable for use then it psses? I wouldn't use one though but they rate them at like 1500kg or somesuch! I always figured they'd be fairly rattly beasts.

azzurro Posted May 29, 2016 Author Share Posted May 29, 2016 I thought the coupling was a bit pants myself TBH, and it is very rattly! Trailer is unlikely to ever be very heavy tho, even fully loaded for camping, and its not even that useable for carrying 'general goods' like a load of builders mix or whatever. Might use it this week to pick up a new scooter, maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 yeah it she's always got a bit of weight over the tongue (as all trailers should) it should be sweet as. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azzurro Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 so yeah this is sweet as. this is the war-rig in gissy on the way back. never did end up travelling light! 3 bikes, 3 surfboards, wetties and towels, 2 foam mattresses, 4 pillows and blankets, 20l water, 15kg gas bottle, 2 tents & one ezyup, 2 folding tables, 4 chairs, 3 dozen beers and ciders, 2 tool boxes, jack and spare tyre, cooker, pots pans cups pegs dishwash... loaded up it doesnt need lowering. could do with a sway bar to even it up off kerbs, but it tows really well. Had to roll the guards with a stick from the beach in the campground, lewl now on the look out for a late model high top lwb van... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raizer Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Should have flicked me a message would have loved to check this thing out in the steel! Think I've still got a stock Escort rear sway bar somewhere if you wanted to adapt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azzurro Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 Plenty of barrys and a few hard out pig hunting bros stopped by to say they liked the trailer. Even some foreigners! 12 hours ago, Raizer said: Should have flicked me a message would have loved to check this thing out in the steel! Think I've still got a stock Escort rear sway bar somewhere if you wanted to adapt it. Did you stop? No, I just drove by. We only stopped in gissy for about an hour for some brunch then hit the road to get back to feed the cat, and sorry i missed picking up that engine for ya. I need the rear suspension mounting bar thing (that the struts and sway bar connect to) and the top strut mounts. I have some strut from a Cortina to fit but not all the other gubbins. 12 hours ago, HighLUX said: Spotted this at Waihau Bay ish on the 3rd Thought it looked familiar We would have been missioning from Whakatane to Te Araroa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azzurro Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 So I have just put a deposit on a !new van! ('03 E25 Nissan Caravan LWB High roof, with KA24 engine, but no tow bar), so this thing will be on trade me soon for a fairly speculative $1500, less roof & bike racks and turbos (all available for extra if wanted), Also will be selling the Caldina too (4WD, 2L towbar etc) , will plop that on Trademe for around $6k happy to do a deal for OS! Will part swap for Nissan e25 towbar, garden trailer, 49cc scooter, or Fiat parts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
