Can anyone recommend a good quality small trailer? Also, anyone know how much the genuine LR towbars are?

If you going towbar , why not consider one of the towbar mounted boxes, most tilt and allow access to boot

They look to carry a fair amount and I presume not governed by mph restriction either

Thanks npinks, that could definitely be an option. Didn't know they existed!

They attach to a tow bar mounted bike rack so cost could be a little higher than a trailer

trailers also can carry more load and have carriers that can hold things like canoes/roofboxes/bikes etc

Basically more versatile to be honest, depends what your needing to carry Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Being restricted to lane 1 & 2 with HGV's taking miles to overtake each other is a real last resort. I thought the same and bought an Erde/Daxara trailer with ABS top and bike rack, but at the end of the summer it was sold. It is just too restrictive IMO.

And you bought the 90 instead, and now restricted to lane 1 only  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Just thought I'd share this with everyone, tonight on my way home from wales, on the M5 (which incidentally is the most boring motorway on earth!) we were travelling on a minibus at about 9ish, and '10 plate FL2 came steaming past with a sizeable trailer and a speedboat on the back...pulling 75-80 maybe? Someone on here maybe? That trailer definately wasn't restricting them! Mine: 2012 Golf GTI Edition 35

No but he should not be going over 60 with a trailer on. I have a twin axle caravan which I know the FL2 will eat particularly as an auto but use the cruise control so not to.

I towed my parents caravan many years ago with my Range Rover CSK and when I looked at my speedo I was up at 90 I just did not feel the caravan at all especialy with a 3.9 petrol engine and an autobox. Whatever you tow the legal limit is 60MPH

60 mph is the maximum on a dual carriageway or motorway. Otherwise the maximum is 50 mph.

so towing a trailer in the fast lane of M1 at 75 was incorrect shame on me .I had a 560 mile trip in one day so there was no time for going slow  At work

That's true the limit should restrict vehicles. or the fact I haven't actually got a full trailer license should stop me towing larger trailers...  Mine: 2012 Golf GTI Edition 35
