I would soon tire of stopping to let other road users by, as I do when in my tractor, so would reverse the van into a field undo the tow bar and join in with the mad fools merrily reaching a legal 60 mph (or a bit more )  At work

genuine question, Is your drawbar supposed to be bent? It just seems the trailer is dipping down at the front while the bar points up, if so the bend will soon turn into a crack. worth double checking Might just be the slope of the field

just been searching online a similar trailer tent to compare, couldn't find any with a picture showing the bar, so i would suggest you have it looked at, at the nearest trailer company. Though i presume you checked it anyway etc

Also worth checking things like wheel bearing as they often get over looked on trailer tents and you wouldn't want to lose a wheel, Like my dads trailer did after carry 4 load of sand to my brothers

BTW looking at the price out there, seems like a good deal was got  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Thanks CG. I did notice this and checked it - it "seems" ok. As it is probably the last time I am using it this year (Flyball competitions in September are near home - and as the nights are getting darker and colder and I am a big Southern Wussy .... I won't be "tenting", I shall check it out properly though.

npinks - the trailer tent is in perfect condition and came loaded with brand new portapotti/pots/pans etc, so we are well pleased with the price! I lost a bid on eBay for a similar one that went for £520.

ttc546,

We went through the trailer tent phase en route to our present caravan.

You got an absolute bargain there ... but I think you know it !!!

Enjoy ...

PS love the pictures of your dog in action, just shown them to our Westie, she raised one eye and said "not me!!"
