Overland/ expedition/ sankey trailer
Thanks for looking at this listing for my sankey based overland/ expedition trailer. All I did was add the roof tent, roof tent lifting structure and wrap around awning for 3 years of more sedate family camping. The trailer itself started life as a sankey trailer which was stripped down and the chassis was powder coated. The body of the trailer is steel with a wooden internal structure. The trailer roof can be removed and allows access to the internal structure if you want to do any changes – you may not, the guy that had this made thought about it and the layout is good. The rear of the body houses the kitchen area (as seen in the pictures) and features storage shelves, a large draw, a pull out worktop and a fold down two ring gas cooker. Underneath the worktop is a long but shallow storage area that is big enough to take two camping chairs and a camping table that seats four adults. The middle compartment of the body is the main storage area and also holds the 9kg gas cylinder. It holds all of our sleeping bags, thermorests, camp cots – basically everything a family of four need (being as 3 of the family are girls and don’t travel light that’s quite a lot). The front compartment holds the leisure battery, electric controls, a pull out draw that was designed for a full on overland fridge and has space for lots more storage. The trailer has cables for a split charge system which allows the leisure battery to be changed on the move. The leisure battery powers LED lighting in each compartment of the trailer. I will say now that I do not have a split charge system on my landrover (as I was not planning a trip to Botswana; I just use my old electric hook up cable when I go camping) so I cannot vouch for the system – however, it did all work when I brought it. For stability i added three heavy duty adjustable legs to the chassis and, when combined the chocks, offers a very stable platform even in strong winds. In addition to the main trailer body there is the roof tent and wrap around awning. The roof tent was made by Direct 4X4 and this was second hand to me. The heavy duty cover does have scuffs and abrasions and is discoloured due to sunlight but the tent itself is in excellent condition – the’top tent’ is brilliant, is completely waterproof and sleeps 2 adults or 3 kids. The awning that zips to the top tent is what I would call showerproof although this can be treated with Fabsil or similar products. The awning is in great condition and is large enough for the wife and I to sleep in (seen in the pics) on quite large cots. As the roof tent was designed to be mounted on a land rover discovery, when I initially tried to mount it on the trailer it was too low to allow the awning to hang correctly. To rectify this i had a local fabricator build me a stand up frame that, when deployed, allows the awning to hang at the correct height but also allows the tent to be lowered to lower the center of gravity when towing. The wrap around awning was brand new. It can be deployed with or without the sides depending on the weather. It has 4 doorways with mosquito nets, access flap to the side of the trailer and access flap to the kitchen area of the trailer. It should be noted that there is a gap between the flap of the tent and the kitchen area. Good when you are cooking to give ventilation but does allow the rain in. Also fitted to the trailer are two jerry can holders complete with water jerry cans and a small toolbox. There is also another towing hook at the rear of the trailer; I use this to mount my Thule bike rack. You should also note this trailer has a NATO towing eye and will require a NATO towing hitch. It pains me to sell this trailer as I have invested time and effort to get it the way I want but the kids are getting older and I’m not getting any younger. The trailer tent can be viewed fully erected by appointment. She’ll do you proud. The item “Overland/ expedition/ sankey trailer” is in sale since Sunday, September 17, 2017.
