We put a small level of grease into the tow hitch of the trailer using a small clean brush. You dont want a huge level of grease, but a little ensures smooth operation.
Hi Sara, We can order in a C400, but we tend to find that if a customer needs the floor area of the C400/C500, they also appreciate the extra load carrying capacity of the C500. The price difference between the two is not large, so most customers prefer having the twin axle option
My vehicle has the 7-pin (only) socket fitted, due to the fact that it is only wired to supply minimum trailer light requirements. I understand that if you wanted the additional wiring to supply the socket with Live Power to run fridge/leisure battery charging etc., then the 13-pin socket would be required. I know there is a 7-pin (only) plug to fit into the 7-pin (only) socket, as well as a 7-pin (only) plug configured in the 13-pin layout to fit into the 13-pin layout socket. What I cant understand is why there isn't a 7-pin (only) socket configured in the 13-pin layout, so that you could visibly see that the socket is only capable of supplying basic trailer lights, but could still plug in the 13-pin plug, but not have the addition electrical feeds, but at least you wouldn't need to be buggering about with adaptors etc. Just another way of getting you to spend more money eh? Or is there another stupid configuration inside the adaptor that switches pin feeds? I bet there is. Standardisation? Nope!
Hi Tim, Thank you for your comment. The issues you have flagged are not something we have experienced. Not sure if you raised this with your supplying Dealer at the time, but hope you are enjoying now.
I love the trailer for my work but yes it is dangerous when you are indicating and the trailer is doing something different as all the electrical socket is corroded. Will have to take it back to blendworth
I brought this same trailer and it’s just what I needed and so easy to tow. I use it to carry ride on mower and gardening equipment. Only niggle is the electrical system was all corroded and didn’t work properly, the interior light fell off and it does sweat inside and make things wet. I brought a new electrical tow socket from a caravan place and sorted the electrics. It was brand new and shouldn’t have needle it. It spoilt what was a good trailer.Brought from Blendworth trailer Center
The hitch on this trailer is a Knott KF13. All of our Trailer Manufacturers would recommend servicing of a trailer every 12 months or 6,000 whichever is first. A service on a trailer with us takes approx half a day and covers everything from the hitch, electrics, tyres, taking the brake hubs off and checking the shoes and operation of the brakes and suspension.
We do have this pre recorded model of the 1150 with mesh being stored on its back. If this doesnt show teh rpinciples you need, please let me know and I can record one of the XL with ABS lid. Thanks, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-i5ZXVSypgus.htmlsi=SjSAwJj-nPnJAhLc
Many thanks Andrew. If you need any help or advice re option, please do let us know, our email address is info@bigbeartrailers.co.uk For us, we tend to go for Anssems GT HT / VT range or Brenderup. Anssems are awesome is you are looking to place bikes on top of the trailer or Brenderup provide a great volume of space with a lockable lid with their 1205XL with ABS lid model. Happy Camping!
Hi, I bought my 1150 with the side extension fitted, can you show/tell me how to remove them? I don’t have instructions and the retailer is not in business any longer, thank you.
Hi There. I am confused as to why you can't stand the Anssems trailer on its end of you put something under it. Or am I missing something I can't see in the design? Really keen on this model to use as camping trailer with a rooftop tent mounted on it. Yes with the additional prop stands. Thanks.
Hi, As you say the Anssems trailers have not been designed to stand on there end and as result they do not have load bearing points at teh rear of teh trailer to take the complete load / the lights are not protected (whereas the Brenderup 1205 are, as they have specific load bearing points). If you did wish to stand the trailer on its end, then you woudl need to factor in - how to protect the lights / when to carry the load. I am sure there is probably a way of creating some kind of dolly to receive and take the load of the trailer, but this is not something Anssems offer.
@@bigbeartrailersoutdoor1127 Thanks for the swift response! Yeah looked that way in your video but had seen what these guys had done to their trailers and was wondering how they attached all the internals. I guess they must build their own internal skin to mount! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--aeNJSAmLLA.html The C300 looks nice, i'm 6'3 so the idea of being able to stand inside is very welcome. Never driven with a trailer before (considering moving from a van) - so perhaps i'll have to come and visit your showroom to see them in person.
@@OSR_1 At 6'6 I can empathise - Due to your height I would definitely recommend the C300, as you will stand up with ease. You are very welcome to view.
I guessed that 13 pin connectors would have..... 13 pins. But this video hasn't told me the difference. I mean what are the advantages of 13 pin - why did it change etc?
Hi, Originally 7 pin was the style fitted to all basic trailers - this was sufficient to feed all your electrics. If however you had a caravan you had two x 7 pin sockets - one for your lights (as per a standard trailer) and one to power all you ancilliaries - Fridge etc. The newer 13 pin style came about for a few reasons - 1) Reverse lights were introduced to trailers / caravan (so an addition cable / pin would be required) 2) There was a desire for caravaners to have just one plug 3) The original 7 pin plugs are just push in and as a result can slide out - the new 13 pin style pusshed in and then rotates by 90 degrees to look it in to the tow vehicle. In my opinion 13 pin is the way to go on vehicles, it is future proof, allows you tow a caravan / trailer, plus has the benfit of locking into the tow vhicles socket and you will ave a feed for a reverse light. Hope that helps!
Hi, If you are on a hard surface 1 person could move this trailer by hand. If you were on softer ground / gravel I would say two people would still be OK. Hope that helps!
To try and help. I would always recommed a 13 pin plug on a tow vehicle if planning on towing (now or future) a Caravan or a larger commercial trailer. By doing so, not only will you have the 13 pin plug that twists to engage into the tow vehicle, but you will have the feed for a reverse light and also the ancilliaries (for a caravan)
So pleased I just watched this as I was just about to order one but looking at all the bits inside that impede for my needs plus the weight on it’s own oh well back to ifor it is just wished nugent done a trailer like this
Hi Mark, Thank you for your comments. If you dont need 3500kg MGW it might be worth loking at the Debon C700, The suspension on these is absolutely superb and they handle so well. If we can help please call on 01832 770 888 or drop us an email with your requirements to info@bigbeartrailers.co.uk
