                      How do you….

                      Picture
                      I decided to even more links to show you how we do the things we do for those of you who want to refurbish your own vintage trailers

                      Of course if you don’t fancy doing it yourself give me a call on 07984 662 532 for a quote…
                      Most of the following links are from a fantastic easy to follow series called DIY Classic Rides in the States. The presenter is Kevin Tetz. There are also two from Dan of  Out of Doors Mart.

                      Power
                      This shows what you can expect to find when you have a good look at your trailer wiring... it's usually a bit of a mess!
                      To use your trailer in the UK and Europe you will need an additional unit
                      We sell one that can be fitted so that you can also use the original US sockets if you have suitable appliances
                      Power
                      This one also relates to the one above & explains more about the electrics and why deep cycle batteries are used

                      It is important you get all the power right for safety and use when you haven't got an external power supply.
                      Also so it doesn't fry your technology!
                      Power
                      This one goes through how to replace and change the old wheels

                      In the UK and Europe trailers have to be independently braked and we very often change the axles.
                      This means that the wheels may not be the same pattern as before depending on what axles are used
                      Shock Absorbers
                      This is the first of two from Dan at Out of Doors Mart

                      Changing the shocks is an incredibly good idea in a vintage trailer... it not only means that your trailer will travel so much easier but your possesions will be less shaken about! 

                      Rivets
                      This is a very short video on how to fit an olympic rivet!

                      It takes practice and the right tools help to get a nice finish but its so worthwhile
