<span class="highlight">Trak</span> <span class="highlight">Shak</span> models

Thanks Geoff, that's close enough for me and from what I've seen rings some bells.

And Geoff M. I spose I could've gone to Trak Shak, I seriously didn't think of that, first thought these days tends to be "go to the forums"!!!

Geoff I think you are pretty close without being 100% correct.

Early on Trak Shak built 3 models.
Standard, Midway and Deluxe. These were all the same length but the width varied. The Midway was about 50mm wider than the standard and the Deluxe 50mm wider again. That is folded so that doubles when you open them up.

The Hybrid was introduced later, not sure when, but it seems to have a bigger awning and less space inside. I think this may be an overall more useable version.

The other thing introduced on later models was extra windows. They put a couple up next to the beds. Oh how I wish mine had these windows. More ventillation can only be good.

We have a 96 model Midway. It has done a fair bit of travelling and presented no problems at all. We love the thing and friends who have borrowed it are always reluctant to give it back.

floppinab,

I forgot to mention the extras.

The extra room changed design in the late 90's I think. The new one will not fit on the old trailer. The old one is an awkward thing to fit and has been the only source of leaks during rain for us.

The solar panel array and the boat rack can be fitted to the older model trailers but it is not a small job. When I last enquired Trak Shak said they would need the trailer for a week to fit the boat rack. They also said they would want quite a few $$$$$.

I think there are other ways and once I get the boat I will set my mind to making a rack to carry it.

Thanks for the detail Duncs,

In your last post the "extra room". I guess you are referring to the enclosed annexe there is that right??? For that model is it a velcro or some other type of attachment.

When I talk of the extra room I mean the one that hangs under the second bed, as is mentioned by Adrian below.

Mine, from the 96 model velcros to the main part of the camper both around the side and front of the camper and where you access it from inside the camper. It fitted to the trailer by press studs along the raised lip which is formed by the "well" for the ply top. It is a pain to fit and remove

The newer ones, like Adrian's zip onto the main part of the camper and simply hang on loops of bungy cord from the front of the trailer. The newer one can be left attached and simply pushed inside the camper when you fold it. The older one needs to be removed and re-attached every time.

They are not interchangeable.
