Subject:Re: Small gear trailer for vanagon- any ideas?

Hi Jason
I pull a small German trailer behind my 85 westi for all the crap I dont want in the van to take up space. It is the size of a Garden Cart and is only 140lb. BUT
I found my trailer by chance and luck. As for a Modern style trailer Ebay even has the tear drops and look for motorcycle trailers. There are Loads of them to
choose from. Also when you purchase Make sure you find out what bearings it uses and buy a spare set and take along the tools to swap them on the side
of the road. You will be glad you did. the trailer tires are usually much smaller and will spin 3 times faster then your Bus tires.
Hope that helps.

>Does anyone pull a small cargo trailer for your extra gear?    I am looking for ideas on a getting a small (weather tight) trailer to put the extra gear in and
possilbly mount a rack on it for bikes.      I saw one today on the highway behind an SUV but cant find much on google serches.    Light weight would be
the goal.
