Akon Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 The Challenger trailers at Makro are good. Are these the ones with a CampMaster badge on them? Stay away from anything with that badge, even if you suspect it was mischieviously added afterwards...
GLuvsMtb Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 I had a friend who did this and complained about how "jiggly" it was. Something about how a trailer "bounces" quite a bit and caused the bikes to jump around. But that was just one opinion...not sure if others have tried.Also consider the additional drag by doing this. I find that my car is more economical with a fully loaded trailer and the bike on top of the trailer than with the bike rack alone (I also have a euroway carrier). Adding the bike rack will compound the drag and you may end up making up the fuel saving after 2 trips by fitting proper racks on top of the trailer. I had the holdfast top runner on my trailer but didn't like it. The U bars seperating the bikes are too short and the bikes move around on the rack quite a bit. I ended up buying Thule Prorides and have much more peace of mind.
Erasmus Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Very cool Wayne is that a challenger made bike rack? I think the Marko ones are Challenger trailors?

American Flyers Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 I find it is so frustrating about trailers and I struggled to find that suits me. Lots of trailers lid is so hard to remove for gardening or moving furnitures...Can someone tell me which trailer to buy, that have bike racks, flip open back bonnet and easy to remove the lid, also don't rust that easily....?

Check my earlier post and phone Trailer City, tell them what your requirements are and ask if they can assist! Edited October 16, 2012 by Warrior Princess
