Trail Cabin (on/off Road)

Open Road was originally equipped with Kenlow 4 Berth Trail/Campers but these lacked storage space for families. So necessity being the mother of invention a lockable Cabin was put on the Trailer and the Open Road Trail/Cabin was born in 1979.

Open Road has been upgrading over the years and has recently introduced a light weight Marine grade aluminium Trail Cabin to the Open Road Fleet.

Trail Cabin

The Trail Cabin is a low tow, light weight, 4 berth unit with enormous carrying capacity in the cabin - this keeps your car free and comfortable for the children. Standard side car rear view mirrors are adequate. Maximum speed in 100 km/h.

Dimensions

Trailer: All aluminium construction, approx 2.2m long, 1.75m wide, 1.5m high, weight 300kg (registered weight bridge weight). Standard running gear with 600x14x8 ply tyres (purchaser may stipulate his choice). The draw bar is 75ml tubular steel with a 50mm tow hitch.

Cabin: Approximately 2.2m x 1.75wide by 1m high. The entrance is on the vehicles passenger side. A large windout window, flyscreened (80x60)cm is on the vehicle drivers side. There are 2 double bunks, one in the base of the trailer and one immediately above (2.2 x 1.2)m (2.2m x1.75)m respectively.

Features of the Open Road Trail Cabin / Camper Trailer

Beautifully balanced so that your family sedan is not burdened with additional unnecessary load bearing weight. 30kg towball.

The draw bar is the ideal length for tracking in your car tracks, not so long that it cuts in and hampers the towing vehicle in sand or off road conditions, but not so short that it transfers all of the kicks from the trailer through to the towing vehicle.

Safety Features:

  • Lightweight – balance and design
  • Checkerplate – Marine grad 3mm aluminium lightweight only 300kg makes for safer emergency stopping.
  • When fully loaded an able bodied man can wheel the trailer. Avoids reversing the trailer.
  • Lightweight – balance and design enables an able bodied man to life the loaded trailer (e.g. for a tyre change) and avoids the use of a jack in off/on road situations.
  • Springs sit on top of the axle. They are not underslung – a vital safety feature when operating offroad.
Axle Springs

  • The Ag weight is 700kg, T weight is 300kg. The axle is overrated at 1250kg. A vital feature for long and safe touring.
  • Springs on top of the axle give the trailer more ground clearance (approx 300mm) than most 4WD. Avoids U bolt damage, easily repaired from station rubbish dump.

Open Road has developed the incredibly easy to erect tent into a spacious living area 4x2.6m with a maximum height of 2.5m down to a minimum of 1.83m. The groundsheet press studs onto the side of the cabin – drops to the ground acting as a draft skirt, and extends the full length of the annexe.

Operational Features:

  • Super light but super strong 3mm chunky checker plate Marine grade aluminium body weights only 300kg (see safety features)
  • Suspension – semi elliptic slipper springs – do not need shock absorbers for stability (no costly maintenance)
  • Body – chunky checker plate 3mm Marine grade aluminium does not require painting; will not fade, chip or rust.
  • Lights – bright LED lights (stop, tail and indicator lights) provide long life and extra low maintenance.
  • Tyres and wheels to suit your vehicle where possible
  • Robust 50mm square galvanised steel chassis. 75 x 50m heavy duty galvanised draw bar - A 50mm towball hitch does not require special tow hitch. A 50mm standard 2500kg towball hitch will go anywhere off road where a family might want to go.
  • Water containers are independent of the trailer. Carry 60 litres of water. 3 x 20 litre tanks can be transferred to the towing vehicle – used around the house – easy internal cleaning – can be used as an emergency fuel container and then disposed of. Simple to fill from creeks, dams or stock troughs. No failing water pumps.
