Tony, is that a CMP part being transported BY sitting on a trailer, or is it PART of the trailer permanently?

It looks a little like a float for a square horse!

But I do agree that the alloy wheels don't do much for it's image

I'm thinking Caravans, Aust pattern 9. Keith suggested I tow it to MV events and sleep in it!

It's actually just cradled on the trailer axle, which I picked it up on ebay for $30, complete with chromies and springs! It just happened to fit perfectly, and it's almost exactly under the centre of gravity! I reckon with a couple of bolts and a bit of flooring, I might even get it registered!
