    Nicely built trailer, tows very well. Nice solid tailgate latches and very heavy duty safety chains.

    Quite noisey on road in the suspension leaf springs when unloaded but is much quieter when loaded.

    Great value for money !

    Solid trailer. Safety chains a little big for standard fixings tho and jockey wheel could be more robust in the handle area.
