For sale locally here in the States and I'm interested but can find no info online. A contact of mine suggested it might be Australian made? I did run across some with that name that are more heavy duty tent trailer types, but nothing about any open cargo trailers. You folks down there ever seen this?

I have seen the name, seems to be associated with camping trailers.
That is not much of a trailer though, you couldn't give it to me.
Added. Thinking about it I would be thinking that is part of a camping trailer and would certainly explain the construction. Be betting there should be a tent connected to it.

Hey J, thanks.
Sides are removable. Looking at some of the camping trailers with that name, it sure seems like the base for one. Those "shelves" in front of and behind the wheel well/fenders seem to have propane tanks and other accessories on them when on one of those tent trailers.
I don't need much, I've got a small cargo trailer for certain things, presently being used for some dry storage of chicken feed, charcoal, and the like.. Would like an open trailer for bringing home some firewood or if we need to replace an appliance like our 15 year old fridge or our 17 year old washer.
I could use a small trailer capable of handling some rough roads for my hunting excursions to Arizona. Would allow me to keep gear in it and use the truck for getting to more spots.
Reason I'm looking for info it to find out approximate weight and such. I've only got an '01 Tacoma and it might be a bit heavy for that.

I've never heard of them. That trailer wasn't built for the Australian market either, judging by the rear lights. It wouldn't meet our standards for road use.
The springs look short as well, and based on harsh experience I wouldn't buy a trailer that wasn't fully galvanised.
Still, if it is cheap and suits your purpose....

Pretty old thread Geno, but I have 2 friends who bought M101, 3/4 ton military cargo trailers and used them for just want you want to do. They bought them from Boyce Equipment in Ogden. They look tall, but both tow like a dream, one guy is using a Tacoma. Check it out.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.
