British Travel Trailers

Someone posted this video at the Lance owners Forum. I was in Britain a summer back and noticed sizable TT's being towed by ordinary cars. I wondered how they did it. Its interesting how these trailers are put together in a modular fashion which I imagine makes repair easier. They must also be very light weight.

Notice at the end how 2 guys are able to pull what appears to be about a 20 ft trailer.

I believe they avoid putting weight on the tongue over there which I assume could create a harrowing journey once you pick up speed.

They also boil meat and eat black pudding so take that into account as well...:)

After living in the UK for three years they will pull anything with everything. During our time there we saw their version of the Ford Escort pulling a horse trailer with two horses in it. They are taxed by the size of their vehicle so they go as small as they can. The trailer runs the same tag as the tow vehicle so no additional fees (taxes) are applied.

Here's an interesting blog post. I don't know how accurate it is. You be the judge.

I like it, looks very strong using the cletes. I didn't see any wood in the new model, look like it's all foam and metal construction. (structure wise)
