Currently (July 24) for a 1150 Double height, with ABS lid and spare wheel = £1798 inc VAT

Hi Sara, We can order in a C400, but we tend to find that if a customer needs the floor area of the C400/C500, they also appreciate the extra load carrying capacity of the C500. The price difference between the two is not large, so most customers prefer having the twin axle option

Thank you!

We have not fitted to a Trafic SpaceClass, but we know it fits the Transporter and the Vito, so I dont see a reason why it would not.

The hitch on this trailer is a Knott KF13. All of our Trailer Manufacturers would recommend servicing of a trailer every 12 months or 6,000 whichever is first. A service on a trailer with us takes approx half a day and covers everything from the hitch, electrics, tyres, taking the brake hubs off and checking the shoes and operation of the brakes and suspension.

Hi, If you have a 211 VT2 we would normally fit a Thule Wingbar Evo system 150cm long bar with 7104 feet.

Many thanks. The breast bar mounts (broadly in each corner) would act as a decent tie point. If you needed something lower down, these would need to be fitted (suggest a nice flush mount so when you are in "Horse Carrying mode" they would not be intrusive.

We do have this pre recorded model of the 1150 with mesh being stored on its back. If this doesnt show teh rpinciples you need, please let me know and I can record one of the XL with ABS lid. Thanks, czcams.com/video/i5ZXVSypgus/video.htmlsi=SjSAwJj-nPnJAhLc

How strong are rhe struts for the lidd?

Many thanks Andrew. If you need any help or advice re option, please do let us know, our email address is info@bigbeartrailers.co.uk For us, we tend to go for Anssems GT HT / VT range or Brenderup. Anssems are awesome is you are looking to place bikes on top of the trailer or Brenderup provide a great volume of space with a lockable lid with their 1205XL with ABS lid model. Happy Camping!

Many thanks!

Hi, Step 1 is to remove the front and rear tailgate extensions. there should be a split pin in each set of hinges. if you’re,I’ve this the tailgates will then slide off their hinges when open and can be removed / set to one side. the side panels are then attached to the trailer by front and rear corner posts. if you remove the two retaining bolts (each corner) the sides will then lift up and out. hope this helps!

If your Caravan is modern (post 2012) 13 pin on yoru tow vehicle is advisable / easiest.

Hi, If you are towing a caravan built prior to 2008, it will have two plugs (one Black and One Grey). The Black is to power the lights (as a normal trailer would), the grey is for all the ancilliaries, such as fridge. This 2 plug system combines the single 7 pin 12N electrics socket with a 12S electrics socket. Adapters are available to convert from a 13 pin tow vehicle to the twin system, but my personal choice in this scenario would be to change the plug on the caravan to 13 pin style - avoids the need for an adapter and tidies up the whole wiring position. You do have to get used to operating the 13 pin plug and use, but once up and running in our opnion they are better. Hope this helps.

Hi, As you say the Anssems trailers have not been designed to stand on there end and as result they do not have load bearing points at teh rear of teh trailer to take the complete load / the lights are not protected (whereas the Brenderup 1205 are, as they have specific load bearing points). If you did wish to stand the trailer on its end, then you woudl need to factor in - how to protect the lights / when to carry the load. I am sure there is probably a way of creating some kind of dolly to receive and take the load of the trailer, but this is not something Anssems offer.

Thank you. They are genuinely a pleasure to tow - great for the load, but great for whoever is driving too!

Hi, I am afraid not. The trailers are built for the European market and in particular the hitch size and electrics are in different formats to the US market - sorry!

The Cargo 1300 model is GRO body all over. If you wanted aluminium sides in a trailer of this size the C300 model is the one to look at. We have a video review for the C300 model too

@@bigbeartrailersoutdoor1127 Thanks for the swift response! Yeah looked that way in your video but had seen what these guys had done to their trailers and was wondering how they attached all the internals. I guess they must build their own internal skin to mount! czcams.com/video/-aeNJSAmLLA/video.html The C300 looks nice, i'm 6'3 so the idea of being able to stand inside is very welcome. Never driven with a trailer before (considering moving from a van) - so perhaps i'll have to come and visit your showroom to see them in person.

@@OSR_1 At 6'6 I can empathise - Due to your height I would definitely recommend the C300, as you will stand up with ease. You are very welcome to view.

@@bigbeartrailers ok great. Thanks!

Not as far as we are aware. Very much a European product, due to tow hitch size and electical set up.

Hi, Originally 7 pin was the style fitted to all basic trailers - this was sufficient to feed all your electrics. If however you had a caravan you had two x 7 pin sockets - one for your lights (as per a standard trailer) and one to power all you ancilliaries - Fridge etc. The newer 13 pin style came about for a few reasons - 1) Reverse lights were introduced to trailers / caravan (so an addition cable / pin would be required) 2) There was a desire for caravaners to have just one plug 3) The original 7 pin plugs are just push in and as a result can slide out - the new 13 pin style pusshed in and then rotates by 90 degrees to look it in to the tow vehicle. In my opinion 13 pin is the way to go on vehicles, it is future proof, allows you tow a caravan / trailer, plus has the benfit of locking into the tow vhicles socket and you will ave a feed for a reverse light. Hope that helps!

Hi Linda, Unfortunately not, the trailer is designed to be diagonal / herringbone format with the horses facing forward and to the right.

Hi, As a minimum we would recommend the C500. If you wanted even more width / length then you could go up to the C700 model. Hope this helps

Hi, If you are on a hard surface 1 person could move this trailer by hand. If you were on softer ground / gravel I would say two people would still be OK. Hope that helps!

@@bigbeartrailersoutdoor1127 Thank you Ian for letting me know! Thank you Matthew

To try and help. I would always recommed a 13 pin plug on a tow vehicle if planning on towing (now or future) a Caravan or a larger commercial trailer. By doing so, not only will you have the 13 pin plug that twists to engage into the tow vehicle, but you will have the feed for a reverse light and also the ancilliaries (for a caravan)

Thank you!

Thank you!

Hi, 150kg would be the max load on top, that is a static load. This load also needs to be taken into account within teh trailers Gross Weight of 500kg.

Thanks SueEllen. The Mudguards are rubber, but are not brittle so flex if they were to come into contact with anything.

@@bigbeartrailersoutdoor1127 Oh, that’s better but I live in FLorida and things made of rubber deteriorate quickly in the year-round intense sun.

Hi Mark, Thank you for your comments. If you dont need 3500kg MGW it might be worth loking at the Debon C700, The suspension on these is absolutely superb and they handle so well. If we can help please call on 01832 770 888 or drop us an email with your requirements to info@bigbeartrailers.co.uk

Thank you!

Pleased it helped!!

Thank you Martin!

Thank you Raoul. Yes, the lower tailgate can be removed - there is an R clip each side ahd with this removed the hinge bar can be taken out and lower tailgate removed

Thank you!

Hi, As you say prices are changing quite often, which is why it is difficult to incorporate in the video's / description. Current price of the Crago 1300 is £5,340 inc UK VAT

I am sorry, we dont ship to USA

James, I would be interested to know where you bought your trailer as we do not rivet advertising plates to any of our trailers - can you confirm, please? Have you taken this up with your supplying Dealer directly?

@@bigbeartrailersoutdoor1127 Thank you very much for you reply! I will be in touch. It was of course not your company! 🙂

@@bigbeartrailersoutdoor1127 Hi, I don’t know your name, but thanks again for your reply! I’ve tried to make contact with them but they e ignored email and text message! Would it be possible to speak to you over the phone please? I’m sorry if that’s cheeky! I just really need some advice and I don’t want to share the company’s details on here as I’d like them to have the chance of rectifying the problem 🙂

@@TheJimulike As a starter it would be great to see some photos - could you send them through on an email to info@bigbeartrailers.co.uk including your contact details and then we can review.

@@bigbeartrailersoutdoor1127 Of course. Thank you!
