Collapsible boat trailers

We had a mangrove jack Dave but only for 12 months.We carried it across from the east Coast to WA last year and used it for many days on our trip of almost 6 months..at Pardoo station alone, we fished almost every day of the month we stayed. My husband absolutely loved it but he died unexpectedly and I have sold it. The cost is well worth it as it is so quick to assemble as well as being lightweight.
regards,
Heather

Dave, can you weld and do you have some tools?

Hi Dave.

Itsdave,
if you send me an email address or phone me on
0408 156 903 I can forward a few photos of my home made trailer I made about 10 - 15 years ago.
Breaks down into 4 pieces plus both wheels/tyres complete with stub axles. Side chine supports plug into Main axle. Two mudguards bolt on.
No springs. Goes on gravel, in the sand or on the main road.
Small hand winch, spectra rope and carried on the roof rack on in the utility tray if enough room.
All steel, was registered, cost me about $70.00 to build including 10 inch wheels and tyres. Weighs about 60 kilos and used 3 weeks ago
for one month in Far North Qld.
Carries 355 Quintrex anywhere.

Might not be what your after dave but in all 4 adventure series 7 the boys tinnie trailers the coupling is bolted somehow to the bow and the wheels clip on near the back on the side. they only use it on the sand but and beach tracks.

Dave,

I wouldn't discount a folding trailer, if you get it for the right price.

My folding Flip 'n' Easy can be easily dissembled by replacing the two pivoting bolts on the drawbar sections with removable pins and retaining clips, such as used for the locking pins at the same locations.
Then you would have three sections of about 1.5m each, plus the two wheel assemblies.

Personally, I don't find the folded trailer a problem to mount on the back of my camper van. It just sits in a three tier folded length, but as mentioned above, the whole lot can be broken down into separate sections by replacing two bolts with removable pins if necessary.
By doing this, you would not interfere with the integral design that allows the trailer to be registered for public road use.

Easy as!

Dave
