First off i'm not to sure if this is actually in the right section....
However I'm asking for a little bit of advise and pointers.
Now I've camped on & off for quite a few years now but as the family has grown so has the need for more and more equipment, I'm sure most of you can relate lol.
Anyway, I've got a large boot in the car & also the Exodus 475 (I think) roof box, but find myself playing Camping Tetris in order to get it all in but there's zero comfort for the passengers so need to look at a decent trailer.
I've checked a lot of posts / threads etc and the general coconscious is "get as big as you can afford". So with that in mind I'm looking to purchase the Brenderup 1205s XL with the ABS lid, but can anyone point me in the right direction to purchase one but at a decent price.
I've been onto a few companies so waiting on a call back from them and the price is around the £1200+ mark... then you can go onto the likes of ebay and there's £1800/£1900+ where do these people get there prices from when it can be had new from a supplier for considerably less.
Personally, I do not like to buy secondhand anything, and bought my Brenderup 1150s with extension sides, ABS top, jockey wheel, spare wheel and a long padlock as a complete package from All Fit Towbars and Trailers, Lichfield, and I would go back to them if I were in the market for another new trailer.
I would strongly advise to get the extension sides straight away to save the hassle of retrospectively fitting them at a later date.

Sorry i cant help with a dealer recomendation, as i got mine second hand.
But can tell you that you will be pleased with the 1205 as its a very good choice.

I agree, I’d rather not buy 2nd hand unless it’s in mint condition but you’ve got the 1150 with the added side extensions, but I’m after the 1205s XL with the ABS lid so I’ve got more load space dimensions and still a good height.

Happy hunting.
Thanks, it’s took me quite a while to find “the right one” and for load size & dimensions given the price and quality it seems to be one of the best out there (apart from the Williams trailers)
I’m set on what I need so want to get it right 1st time.
