Dragging a Trailer across AFrica
Hi all,
What's the general opinion regarding towing a Sankey Trailer (with roof top tents fixed on top) across Africa. (Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana, Namibia and South Africa.)
My wife and I are travelling in a 1998 110 County Station Wagon with 3 kids so not much room in the vehicle for sleeping. Also, roof top tents on top of vehicle effectively immobilise vehicle every time they're erected. Pain in a**e to put away every time we need to drive somewhere.
The trailer has had it's track widened (for extra stability)with Scorpion wheel spacers, new wheel bearings and Wolf wheels fitted carrying BFG 235.85.16 AT's. (Same as on our Land Rover so we can use the same spare wheels for everything.) Pictures of trailer on my web site http://www.a2b.uk.net
My worry is that it will either get stuck all the time, or flip over.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
