Mal and all,

My curiosity was piqued by the trailer, but I'm quite happy with my
Swan (www.swan-trailer.de) and have no desire to get anything else.
Before the Swan, I had a bit of a funky/ugly homebuilt trailer that
towed VERY easily, but did not have any storage door up front, no
brakes, did not seal out weather very well, and made it a real pain to
rig and derig. So, whenever I see a "different" kind of trailer;
i.e., something other than the Cobra/Komet/ clam shell design or the
ever-present "tube" designs, I just want to learn more, just for the
sake of learning.

Thanks,
Ray

Mal,

The trailer in question was designed by one of the Horsham club member
(Lorrie Bunnik) quite some years ago. This year I saw it in action at the
Narromine Cup however it is not without its problems. My advice is stick
with a Cobra or Komet trailer, they seem to work very well and don't burn
nearly as much fuel as towing a normal box style trailer.
