Erde trailer owners reviews

As Erde distributors we can try to write impartial reviews about Erde trailers, but we understand some readers may find a review written by a distributer hard to believe. So we would prefer to collect the views of actual owners of these trailers so that we can publish their posts about real-life experiences.

This section is aimed to offer owners of Erde trailers the chance to comment on their trailers and the experiences that they have had with them. The information supplied both good or bad, will be of use to future trailer owners. So with that in mind we are looking forward to being able to publish a collection of posts that may help somebody make a more informed choice when purchasing a new trailer.

If we find that many owners have had similar problems, we will investigate and try to resolve these problems in a reply post on this site.

Please leave any information you wish, but be sure to include the model of your trailer, how long you have had the trailer, what it is used for, and how often you use it.

Thank you for your help.

Erde leisure trailers

The most popular range of Erde trailers is the ‘Leisure’ range. This is because they are relatively low cost, and ideal starting trailers. However, it is a regular occurrence for people to upgrade their trailer within a couple of years of buying it. This is usually because the owner’s requirements for a trailer have outgrown the capabilities of their first trailer.
The current range of Erde leisure trailers is shown below in size order, for more details please click on the trailer name.

These trailers are ideal for light personal use, but due to their construction are not really robust enough for constant use. For a trailer that can handle more weight and longer distances every day please see the Erde ‘Commercial’ trailer range. These trailers are constructed with a stronger A-frame drawbar and larger 13″ wheels.
