New Overland Trailer Manufacturer - Swindon UK

Anyone else seen these?

http://www.westcountrytrailers.co.uk/Trailers/

They are apparently going to be at Peterborough. Decent price point compared to the South African trailers.

By all accounts they are built in China and finished/fitted out in Swindon.

Looking forward to seeing one Thumbs Up

Looks nice, but the only way I'm going to get SWMBO out and about is if we can sleep in the trailer, not a RTT. Its good to see a competitively priced trailer being sold in the UK though.

I've been thinking about getting one of these imported next year: https://escapadecampers.com/

There is a guy on one of the Land Rover Facebook groups, Land Rove owners I think, who bought a red one and seems very happy.

I personally think the MyWay layout is a little better though.

I hope to own a trailer one day, but I think I'd rather have some kind of tear drop or miniature caravan, so that in the inevitable cold / rain / wind we often get in the UK you can eat dinner or bed down without the worry of wet canvas to pack away!

I emailed these guys in the states, as I like the look of their Teton X hybrid pop top camper trailer, but a rough estimate of costs to import one would be around £23 - 25k, which sadly I don't have!

I just found this too, which is a bit more spendy (!):

I agree and they are also built on a Sankey trailer base so, literally, "bullet proof" Twisted Evil

The problem, however, is that he no longer builds them - or at best under sufferance.

I contacted him and asked him to build me one and although a very nice guy resisted all the way. Eventually he put me on to one of his ex customers who had moved on to a boat I a bought that one.

Last I heard there is a Voyager GT for sale in Perth. It is excellent but we rejected it on the basis it was a little too big.

Link to it:

Although I have used/owned three trailers this year - still not in Iggy league! Very Happy

Looks good, but a few issues, hopefully the coupler is 50mm not 6” , besides that we uses those couplers on trailers we build and they won’t take the articulation needed off road, other issue 6 stud 15” wheels normally you try to match your vehicles wheels giving more spares.
But the price is right and looks good

I have asked them about the wheel patterns issue and by all accounts a million other people have too - so that issue is definitely on their radar.
