So What did we buy?

This was the longest portion – so many quality trailers.  We did flirt a little with buying one from e-bay and then kitting it out to what we wanted. Although these went for around the $5,000 mark, still a metal setup. This still did not really meet our needs though, and with one exception, all the trailers that I viewed (online – really love the internet at times) where big, cumbersome and very, very, very heavy.

Our camping was not going to be full off road, so we didn’t need something that required a tank to tow it. Something that would not overly trouble an X Trail and my back (in that order), that would not be too expensive with additional fuel costs.

While searching 4WD Action I stumbled, literally as I miss-selected a site, across Stockman trailers. This caught our attention straightaway as they are a camper trailer based on a metal chassis with a plastic tub. Hmmm, yes I do that, liked the premise and they do look kinda cool – not like the big and boxy metal trailers.  We were able to put several ticks in box’s- - light weight, reduced environmental impact etc.
