I was looking at a Complete Campsite rig in Myrtleford (CC dealers at the time)a couple of years back, which had room for a quad bike on the drawbar from memory. Would easily handle a couple of chook-chasers. Someone here must know about it - whether it was a 1-off or in their cattledog.
Single axle from memory, so would be interesting to see what the owners thought of it.
Cheers,
Cam

Mate,
Have seen them featured somewhere, but not sure where...maybe a CTT or 4WD action "Camper Trailer" DVD.
Had storage underneath for whatever, & huge tent area.
Try sending Colin Broad a PM [BROADY], he would be able to help.

TOY80ST is building his own dual axle camper, there might be some useful info here (http://myswag.org/forum/index.php?topic=3695.0) for you.

Quad, camper and RIB - there's a recipe for a fun weekend right there! 8) I need to make friends with that guy...
Back on topic - 2 Turkeys - someone here had a Trackabout I think with a pair of tracks for dirtbikes on the front where the toolbox normally went. Others I've seen have had one bike up front, and one off the back. The last one was three bikes up on a modified boat rack, right up on top of the camper. All of those were simply single axle trailers though. Have a squiz through the My Camper section, you might get some inspiration.
The only dual axle one I can recall is TOY80ST's. Any particular reason why you're after dual axle? I'm guessing load carrying. I'd suggest seeing if you can make it work with a single axle trailer though - a lot less complex, and doesn't scrub out tyres as quickly as a dual axle setup will.
Good luck!

thank's to every one for the pic's and help.The reason behind the dual axle is weight,each bike is around the 140kg's, we did think about one on the back,but you get to much flex,also you would have to take the bike off to use the kitchen.Our plan is to travel and pick up work as we go, no time limit,so this CT will be our home for the next 4to5 years .
