Just a quick question for all.."what is the most suitable "standard" camper trailer for the Prado ??" The reason I ask this is the number of "variables" that I have discovered.I am swayed to the "hardfloor models"
1.Length of drawbar and location of hand-brake..I've tried a few "standards" and even the most expensive causes problems."not able to change a wheel due to not being able to open the tailgate with the trailer attached !!
2.Ball weight..Most have been "high" that is above the 10% that Toyota recomend in their Hand-book..I have a SX with a 3 tonne bar fitted and after towing a "heavy trailer" to QLD and back "NO Thanks" Not saying it wasn't up to the task however it didn't give the greatest feeling in confidence.
3.Lengths..or should I say Balance..Most of the times I am "Off-road" most of the tracks and country-side that I tend to get to requires a short wheel base so manouverability is to me very important.
I passed a guy in the High Country with what appeared to be a dual axle (flip-top model)of some sort of manufacture but due to the terrain and both going oppersite directions wasn't able to stop and chat to find out any more information..It appeared to be probally 8 to 10 feet long with a spare on the back (and what looked like a Sambar on the rack)so if any-one knows who builds them I would be very happy to find out.
