"SO, DOES SUCH A TRAILER EXIST? WELL, ALMOST. THERE ARE A FEW THAT COME CLOSE".
(installed or portable) are the key to ‘fast food’
on the road, or a roadside coffee break that’s
done-and-dusted in less than 15 minutes.
At home, we take reliable, on-tap water
and power for granted. On the road, they are
precious and essential resources that must be
monitored and managed well. You’ll want a
large (100+ litres) water tank that’s centrally
positioned (so it doesn’t adversely affect
your centre of gravity) with simple electric or
gravity flow access. Ensure lines or taps are
well-protected from stone or stick damage and
carry an extra water container in reserve (in
your vehicle) for back-up in case you're ever
stranded away from your trailer.
Power management is crucial for recharging
phones, tablets, cameras and laptops. Thick
charging cable between the vehicle and a
large-capacity AGM battery ensures there
is plenty of power on tap at the end of each
day. But, if you’re planning to use the trailer
as a base station for exploring further, you’ll
need a solar charging solution as well. And
with a good quality inverter, BCDC power
management unit and gauge installed you can
forget about paying the electricity bill ever
again!
So, does such a trailer exist? Well, almost.
There are a few that come close such as
the new Patriot X1, the TERRA TREK, the
Ultimate XTERRAN and the Trak Trailer TVAN.
