Hi Hendrik
wow thats some trailer you have  did we meet at arnhem a couple of years ago, I must say iam thinking of the mini artic route, thinking of converting my defender 110 to a 5th wheel pick up and changing the vehicle towing rates and making a nice step frame trailer maybe two sections of lorry chassie thats about the same width as a carrier track and strong a purpose built vehice and trailer? Saw a iveco cab and chassie with a mini artic trailer with 5 cars on it when i was in holland last year that gave me the idea, kinda like this photo i found on the net but my landy instead ? if a transit can tow sumthing a landy should lol.

Ryan, what's there could be carried on almost any kind of trailer. You could almost carry it in the back of a full size pickup. I don't think you'd have a ton of weight there.

Morning everyone. Ryan, I agree with alex and the gas axe. As there is not a lot left it would be so much easier to load if it was cut neatly into usable pieces. There looks like some good parts there and everything is restorable. Just a tandem trailer with brakes would get that lot back to my place. Oops! I mean your place.
Colin.

Hi Ryan,
Sorry we won't be seeing your happy smiling face at Corowa. You will be missing a big one. Almost 300 registrations to date and more coming in each day. Regards Rick. BTW.. Welcome to the carrier owners club. From small things, Big things grow.

The carrier bits
Guys, I've bit off more than I can chew.
I just can't afford it now. Although the hull will only cost me a slab, the hiring of a trailer, the fuel, an overnight stay etc Plus the bogie/wheel set I have purchased will set me back about $1000. The hilux slurps the fuel. The bogie/wheel set cost $425. The hull and bogies are on neighbouring properties a little north of Swan Hill. Does somebody want to take these over and soon? Here's a couple of pics of the wheels. Also included are some steering gear. All it will cost you is $425 (to me) and a slab (to the hull owner) and I'll provide you with the details. Last edited by Ryan; 04-03-10 at 10:33. Reason: costings

So Ryan,
Does that mean you'll be at Corowa? Guess my welcome was a bit premature. I've passed your info on to a chap in SwanHill. Regards Rick
