Sankey Trailer

blades · 07-01-08, 07:25 AM

Has anyone converted a sankey trailer into an offroad/adventure trailer? I'm in the UK and sankey's are just about all we have so I'd be really interested to see pics of any converted ones and also hear how they perform etc.

Thanks in advance

Hi blades, im in UK and have been considering doing the exact same thing to a Sankey. Let us know how you get on and vice versa! Plenty of storage space in a Sankey,

Collected my trailer and wow am I happy with it... bigger in the flesh than I thought but perfect for a conversion!

hi blades,
congrats on the trailer- where'd you pick it up? I'm thinking of going up to Witham-SV where they are selling them for £250. doesnt sound too bad..
keep us posted

Hi

Got mine from Witham although I paid £400 for an almost un-used one!

I have a Sankey, this way I have both "Land" models.

I just started tearing mine down, so not much progress yet...

good to hear sankeys being used! Bladess-At Witham are they open to offers do you think? I saw they were selling some Sankeys on eBay and one went for about £130! Bargain.
