Moved up to a trailer this year, I was given an old kna**ed 6' x 4' wooden one.
Re-wooded and varnished it with T and G, new bearings and tyres, repainted the frame, made a hinged lid, the lid has a bolt on kayak / bike / fishing tackle rack. Cost me about £140 to refit, it now looks the job
We can now get the rediculasly big and heavy canvas frame tent and all our tackle in with room to spare
Obviously we need more equipment, I'm working on that one
I'm no expert but from my own experience I would buy a 2nd hand one of ebay etc. Erde's are too small and expensive for us so we got a great homemade one of ebay for £100. It was completely refurbished by the previous owner and the local trailer centre said it would take the weight of a mini. I find you can adapt the wooden trailers to suit your needs.
We just bought a brand new one this morning 20% discount at Go Outdoors, its made by Camel, is galvanised steel, 5ft by 3.5ft by 35cms, for 320.00 quid.

Now that has potential. Add on high side kit, cover and spare wheel and still works out very reasonable. Just off to shmooze the wife.
yes we could have gotten the mesh top for it for an extra £50 but the money pit wasnt that deep this week...hopefully the offers will return at a later date.
when you have found the one you want look for a bigger one, we always do it dont we. bigger tent bigger caravan bigger car bigger tv and the list goes on
