Bushwakka
I was wondering if anyone had any experienced of these guys products?
I had a look into the trailers a while ago and found them to be well made but thought they were too heavy and over-fussy (and built for a non-European climate - very outdoor and exposed). If you're thinking about going down the trailer route, try the 3 dogs products. They tend to be more for our climate, are much lighter to tow - chassis is made of Aluminium as well as top - and top quality as well (and are almost completely made in Europe). Hope that helps/ph.
I know them.
Very, very good quality, but also very expensive. Their trailers are well equipped and thought out, but can be a bit on the heavy side. They have thought of putting things where they are out of the way, i.e. a water tank floor, etc.
Unless you are planning a serious African trip, it may be a bit of overkill, but then again, it is nice to have all your camping gear ready at all times, and you just need to hook on and go.

Thanks for the observations folks, very helpful. The 3dog stufff looks good though I think it's not quite as comprehensive as the Bushwakka (BW) stuff which, I agree is a bit of overkill. That said it does very much have the advantage of being ready to go. 3Dog don't seem to publish any prices so I can't compare and although I agree BW ain't cheap, it is sometimes possible to buy used and/or import from SA. A good avenue if the ZAR is weak.
I'll keep looking, ideally I'd like the lightness of 3dog with the comprehensiveness of BW. Oh well !
