ShannonE Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) Hi AllI am looking for a "Venter" trailer, small trailer with a lid that locks so I can tow behind the car, we need more space than the boot, when we go camping. In SA a Venter would be perfect. I have had a look on the internet and not found much, I am in Brisbane ....any ideas please Thanks so much, any ideas welcome.ShannonE Edited September 21, 2014 by ShannonE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 They are in Australia, if you are willing to pay their price : http://www.ventertrailers.com.au Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadEnoughofJuju Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 The South African shop in Forest Glen were importing them as well at some stage but you can get a local made one much cheaper. Although most Aussie trailers don't have lids because why would you want to lock your stuff up in the first place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurferMan Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Yeah,nobody else out there in the outback...But lockable is still cool. I remember always having to post one adult at fuel stations in SA, and also when they were doing the roadworks between Joburg/St. Lucia, cos the little bastards would break into the trailers, steal stuff and make a run for it. I also remember the army being deployed becasue the queues had become hijack hotposts. Never seen the army deployed here for that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShannonE Posted September 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Hi AllThanks, I am looking for a local trailer as Venter here are expensive and not very helpful at all!!!If you know of a contact for local smallish trailer in the Brisbane area that will be great.Kind RegardsShannonE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caz Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Try this place (in Brisbane), researched them when we were buying a trailer but in the end went for something slightly cheaper. They have a huge range and are able to customize.http://www.justtrailers.com.au/Some others to considerhttp://austrailersqld.com.au/http://www.trailerworld.com.au/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurferMan Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 cmh you can also buy a 4x4 Action mag, loads of great specials and discounts in the back. Call around, and for sure check the trailer out before you buy it, the Aussies know how to build a trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does your unicorn need the fresh air? Sorry. Couldn't resist... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rozellem Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Trailer Mates. For Fathers Day, there was a competition to win one, at our local shopping centre.

elleneo Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Isn't it irritating when they don't put prices on things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HansaPlease Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Juju you think it's unnecessary to lock a trailer? Does your unicorn need the fresh air? Sorry. Couldn't resist...I Lolled. We definitely lock our trailer. Not all the time, but most of the time. Duh, Australia, convicts? It's in their blood?! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My unicorn is perfectly safe and happy here and the locals are way to chilled and spaced out to even worry about what's in another blokes trailer. Relax mate it's awesome and you should try it some time.Sorry Bron, just had to have a dig too. Who wouldn't be spaced out and chilled with a store in the main street of Mooloolaba call "The Happy Herb". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankenstein Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Looking to sell mine. It is in perfect condition, has been sitting in a container for 5 years. Just not using it because when you run your own business...ja well. Unfortunately in Adelaide so you will have to take a road trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
