I am looking at purchasing a camper trialer for the family. My question relates to the ability to be able to take a quad with us. Are there any camper trailers available that would allow the quad to be transported on top like you see the small boats carried. The quad weighs approximately 250kg. Do you think this is a possibility or a pipe dream.

Hi, yes, Wanderer Camper trailers 089361 3557
Perth WA can tailor make a trailer for you where you can park 2 bikes or 1 quad in the trailer proper - using the rear as
the entrance / ramp and the double bed, fold out tent canvas sits on top of the trailer.
I have one of their trailers and the I believe it is the strongest / toughest known to man!
Our CT has travelled over some of the roughest tracks in the
Kimberley and will go on for ever.

I have a Cavalier camper trailer that I recently modified to do just what you're talking about. I transport a motor bike weighing 150kg on top of
mine, and have had no problems with C of G issues, you just have to watch out for low branches, with the height being just under 2.8 metres (2.6 if I take the mirrors off).
I made a frame that the bike is fixed to on the ground behind the trailer, then using a 3:1 boat winch, the whole frame is winched on top and fixed to the trailer frame.
It sounds complicated but I can have the bike loaded by myself in under 30 minutes, and the same for unloading.
It's not the most suitable arrangement if you plan to travel each day..... designed more for transport to a camping destination for a few days.
If I could figure out how, I'd include a picture.
Cheers,
Barry.
