As someone who's just about to pay for a spanking new Finn for the boy, I can assure you that the trailer is cheaper!

Another example of German trailer engineering:
http://www.ixylon.de/ixybox.html On the Skiffbenelux circuit someone has proven it is possible to build a sub 750 kg enclosed trailer that is large enough to hold an RS800 - this would be the other book end I guess. |

You can fit two Cadets in a horse lorry, and then four kids can sleep in it for a week. I'll always have fond memories of the Rutland indicators in 1989. Can't think why the parents all went to a local B&B? It was something like this...  Edited by MerlinMags - 24 Feb 17 at 1:07pm |

Did that drive into the hedge, or did the hedge grow after it broke down? |

There was a guy from stone sailing club who made at least one enclosed trailer and was in the trade, Mokes Boats" i think.
It was aluminium framed with glass fibre panels. He used to wheel his kids cadet out of it. Awesome bit of kit.

Lovin' the Germans, ixybox how lush is that. If you are a dedicated traveller who didn't like tents it could pay for itself over B&Bs or holiday cottages. Going the other way of camper van for accommodation is far from cheap, the T5 club continues to hold high secondhand values.

I used the base off a touring caravan, £75 from a caravan breakers, made a box with 6 x 8ft x 4ft ply sheets, lined this out with cord carpet, used it to sleep in, boat was to go on top or on edge down the side, almost finished it when it was stolen.

Us catamaran sailors have it tough having to pull this lot around. Lost count of how many people ask if i sleep in it. Brought the caravan chassis on Ebay and got a local coach builder to do the rest. It works of sorts
