That's the quickest way to rust out the floor
Soil, wood, sand and ever a mattress have heaps of moisture in them.

You must have driven past my place.I have just received my free tip pass in the mail. Only one free pass now for wyndham rate payers now,as last year it was two free passes.
Mate I had a quite a heated discussion with the councillor involved (Heather marcus)
Suggested she has never been to the tip, amongst other things
Heaped 6x4 trailer $100, got a cage, add another $50
More rubbish to be picked up at Mt Cottrell & only 28% of people use their vouchers

[quote="Thomassssss"]Happy Sunday everyone, hope you manage to fit in a fish. I'm off to work. :down:

Anyway, my partner and I are in the market for a new trailer and I thought I might seek a bit off advice here as I know a lot of you have got knowledge around towing etc.

We are looking to buy a (new or secondhand) 6X4 trailer with a removable cage. We are moving to Tasmania early next year so firstly we need it to take the few things we are taking down with us on the boat. Otherwise we would be for general use, collecting firewood, moving soil, tip runs etc. We are looking to buy something of quality that will last. I'm interested in this one here:

Owing a trailer will always be a good investment for your house hold. Even a simple 6x4 with a removable cage will serve many good purposes.
