car trailers

[MENTION=737]thatotherguy[/MENTION] thanks for the offer. If you are worried about an overnight stop in WA you can bunk at my place secure storage for your car etc. I thinkthe nationals are in Busselton thats about 2.5 hrs drive from me. Unfortunately a car bra or wrap arent an option for me as the acrylic lacquer finish wont handle it. I have been told if I make a screen and mount it on the draw bar of the trailer it should do the job of protecting the front of the car dont know what the sides will cop though. Thanks for the offer [MENTION=133]jennie285[/MENTION] of hooking me up with a trailer but I would drive from Parkes if its only 1.5hrs. Good info to know I will have to ring Indian Pacific bookings to find out a price. I guess then its cost Vs adventure of driving the nullabour. Some pics of my trusty old car trailer.

Screen similar to this but I think I would make it a bit wider so as to wrap around some of the front guards and a bit higher as well. Don't know if wind would be an issue. Definetly roped through eylets not just cable tied on as in the picture.

what do you plan on using as a tow car ? we have a wake boat that weighs almost 2 ton and i tow it with an SV6 commodore and it tows it ok but struggles up hills a bit and im not sure the transmission would be up to towing all day as the temp gauge sits higher than normal and im sure its because the trans is getting hot . anyway im not trying to put you off but if you plan on sleeping close to your torrie i would be driving it at least one way if you have the time . we took our HQ coupe from adelaide to cairns in the early 90s and had a great time but at the time it wasnt in concourse condition and not worth anywhere near what it is now but still attracted plenty of attention along the way .
