Here in Australia we have thousands of options from a couple of thousand to $300,000 plus. How long is a piece of string really. My first offroad trailer was a simple galvanised box trailer, I added a heavier duty axle and relocated the axle from over the leaf springs to under them to give a bit more clearance and put larger tyres on it with second hand wheels that matched my 4x4 and that was it, I just threw my junk in. If you want to blow your mind have a look at the Bruder range of offroad trailers.https://www.caravancampingsales.com.au/https://bruderx.com/

Hello everyone

- this is an interesting chat.

I'm also looking for an off-road trailer - for long-distance journeys with the Grenadier - when it's finally here at some point.

A short time ago I was at an off-road trade fair - there was a lot to see - but also a lot that looked like off-road but wasn't suitable for it.

Looks cool - but they are not trailers suitable for off-road use - I have more than 30 years of experience in offroad-travelling in north africa and north europe- offroad !! not only gravel.

At the fair I only saw one that I really liked - and of course it also depends on what you want to do with it.

Transportation or housing ?

The "Bruderx EXP-4" from Australia convinces me the most by far. That would be mine!!

And there is also one in Europe - I think from a Dutch importer. But it's so expensive.

My question would be - what does it cost in Australia - also so expensive?

Thanks for an answer and this new chat.

Have a nice weekend

I just stumbled over an Offroad Trailer and liked the idea quite well.
Prices for a ready to use unit rise from $$12000

What would be an important requirement to you, if you want to much such a trailer upon your new Grenadier?
Which plattform to start from if you would build one DIY?

Sources from the internet:

1. Trailer from Matalian
2. Treeline Outdoors Adventure Trailer

3. Stockman Pod Trailers (I have the Extreme Offroader).

Did a previous post but Metalian is for me.
Superb trailer although i have stripped and rebuilt / fitted out.
Super comfy - I Kamper RTT with Emperor sized bed (2m x 2m), HW boiler for shower, propex gas heater for tent, 180 deg awning, 130 litres of fresh water, kitchen, massive fridge, etc
200 amp lithium, DC/DC chargers, 2000w inverter, PV, 100 lt fridge freezer,etc mean you can go off grid for months.
A real "go anywhere" trailer and with the Grenadier i am looking forward to the extra power at altitude.
The defender runs out of puff at about 4,000m altitude.

I’m still working on building an off road pod trailer, which I intend to sell as a kit. The chassis will come fully assembled and the bodywork will be assembled by the buyer. Its a lot of work to design but I’m getting there. I’ve chosen the axle unit, and a few other bits and bobs. Still a long way off though. I’ll keep you posted on progress.View attachment 7810706

Yes, the best i can find on the market, if you want to design your own in the UK/EU you need type approval so it needs to be off the shelf. Its a pretty good setup actually.
