Help with Dinghy

Hi, we had a Flip N Easy trailer, one of the cheaper more basic one's on the market, for the amount of use it got it was money well spent.

Last boat was a Horizon 3.7mt that fitted on the roof rack, i used a 12v Boat Trailer winch that i used to hoist the boat on to the rack. Many different designs out there, mine was a simple & cheap idea and winch fitted on a steel post that attached to the vehicle bull bar, worked fine with little effort on my part.

I have 3.75 Dart and I reckon after having a big look around, that the Rhino Rack side loader is the easiest to use.

Not sure about the folding traler as I use clamp on wheels.

Happy New Year,

Willie.

We have a 100 series Landcruiser and a Sea Jay 3.75m Dinghy and regularly use our Rhino Rear Loader and find it to be a good combination of light weight and practical use.

Our trailer is a Flip n Easy and it has the double fold in the main beam which means that it folds twice into a small package and the wheel/axle assembly slides into the folded beam to make a very small package when fixing it to the A Frame of the van.

If you are particularly looking for Suspension, then the Little Bulldog folding trailer has that option, but doesn't fold up to any where near as small a package for storing on your van.

We have not found the need for suspension as we never tow our tinnie any more than 5-10 kilometres and slightly less pressure in the tyres gives us enough suspension for our needs.

Hope this helps
Cheers
Rick

Hi - When I looked the Real Ezy Barcoo was the only pull apart trailer that had suspension, think they are around $2600 new, I picked one up on Ebay that had little use, it handles up to 3.9m boat. If you want the best loader I would get a Custom Boat Loader from WA. My electric model is awesome and is so easy to use I'm upgrading to a 4m boat which my 200 series will handle (and I think so would a 100 series). They aren't cheap but from my research nothing on the market comes close. Make sure you think about current and furture needs the CBL people make the loader to suit your boat but they can make it expandable if you want them to for same cost.
