Looking to buy a new trailer this year and intend to push the boat out a bit and go with a covered.

Just wondered if anyone else has had been through the process of buying one recently and, if so, what you thought of the different manufacturers' offerings when you got up close to them?

Would also be interested in owners' experiences after buying/living with one for a while (especially with respect to options - thinking tilt bed + winch + wheel rack + floor storage + large side door on offside are must haves, less clear on whether internal lighting is actually any good).

Primarily looking at one to take standard open kit 7 to Radical size but with one eye on it perhaps being useful if it could take a Cerb/Chim.

Thanks chaps.

Agree with the comments about Ifors. Always surprises me that they don't offer a covered car trailer (after all, they do some cracking horse/livestock trailers).

Sounds like I need to have a look at BJ and PRG.

I realise there's an element of subjectivity, but how long do people reckon these survive, if stored outdoors, before looking tatty (more from the perspective of the shell rather than the mechanicals)? Guessing should still look passable after 10 years of relatively light use?
