kevlo Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Hi guys and girls. I have been contemplating buying a van to do deliveries for my fish spa business. However I've just ordered my second car (bmw 320d se touring - keeping the zed) and it comes with a retractable tow bar. I thought its silly paying 3 lots of tax, insurance etc when I could get a trailer for the bmw to pull. I want a box trailer. Nothing massive but at least 6ft x 4ft load space. I've got some questions Are single axle trailers hard to tow on long distances? what sort of price should i look to pay? Is there a massive price difference between single and twin axle? Would you buy 2nd hand or new (i'm thinking 2nd hand unless there are any reasons not to) do i need special insurance to tow a trailer? I want a box trailer so I can vinyl wrap it with my company branding. any help much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zugara Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 if buying second hand, make sure the chassis has still got its correct vin number. yes they do have them. plenty of stolen ones with no visible number, but the police know where to look for others just a word of caution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zugara Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 thanks didnt even think about that can you do hpi check on them? dont know, but they should all be visible on the frame near the tow hook, apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
