Still using the heck out of our Thule/Brenderup trailer. Finished the repairs, wanted to be able to carry our canoe or our kayaks - not generally all at the same time. One is a long Folbot 17'. Others are plastic 10ft and 12ft kayaks. Different toys for different adventures. The solution was an...

Looks good!

Trailer is all done. So glad to have this tool back in service. Moved an engine and firewood the first weekend. 100+ miles each way. Still need to R&R the top.

Well two years later - the repairs are being done and the pictures are up. Holy cow time got away from me... Renovated the old house, sold in ~36 hours (!!!) and we have been enjoying our current house and doing repairs and upgrades, etc. Really loving the flat driveway for projects. Milked the...

Hello everyone. I have been doing an R&R on our trailer. Our son rear ended our 1205S and bent the right rear corner and frame as well as damaging one of our spare cars a couple of years ago. The floor was about worn out and many rivets were coming loose or gone anyhow. Its always been out in...

Thank you the LED lighting recommendation. I haven't bought lights yet. Just need to decide if I want to match the other original light or upgrade to LEDs. Have decided that I'll delay the repairs (but I'll buy lights soon) for a month or so until we complete some house remodelling. Am...

HEY - that's great! Thank you so much. I'll order them today. For giggles I'll post some pictures of the crashed trailer soon. Can't believe son ran into us at the stop sign! Queue the lectures... Anyhow, I was meaning to tear it apart soon and do a refurb since it has many miles and weather...

Sure is tempting to go buy that one in Omaha. My 1205 was rear ended last week. Low speed. Bent one of the tongue bars, crushed the light panel, and bent the right side rear post. I think I can repair it. Will need to source new lighting because both the license plate and tailight are toast as...

Just wanted to pile in here and say thanks for everyone's notes, pictures and such. I haven't checked this thread in ages (I was way back on page 4 or 5).

If I needed that much hauling capacity I'd just buy a second trailer. ;) The soft independent suspension under this Brenderup trailer is what makes it so nice on the highway or light-duty off road (gravel or dirt). I had a normal American style utility trailer before this with a straight axle...

I've had my gas struts off the Brenderup and they are just normal gas struts that can be sourced anywhere. I replaced one with a new strut right off the shelf at Auto Zone. All you have to do is match the length, the correct ball ends and the weight capacity of the strut so it isn't too stiff. I...

Just looked at the EBAY UK website and there are Brenderup wheels and tires for $25 UK pounds on there. Currently there are a pair with tires for $25 UK pounds. How much could shipping be?
