We made some trailers for our trips w folders.

Afrter our first trip to Denmark this summer w folders carrying most of the load on the front we decided to finish the trailer plans I`we had in my head and partly in my head for ages.

Two trailers are made like the BF suitcase solution. One older hardcase Samsonlite and one newer type made ofwowen material w the handle for pulling it on its own wheels missing.

The third one is my trusty flatbed made as a copy of the city Y-frame. In the last minute I decided we wanted three trailers, not two so I mowed the atatchment point for the wheels backwards a bit (made the holes for doing that a long time ago) and fitted 12,5" walker wheels using wheelchair axels. Just put a waterproof bag on top and strapped it on. This worked realy well. Before entering the bus we just remowed the wheels and the towbar and put all of it including now stripped trailer into a doubel Ikea bag that I made for carrying folding bikes long time ago.

Later been thinking to remowe the last pieces of the original pulling handle from the soft suitcase and put a plywood (flatbed type) INNSIDE that suitcase and atach wheels and towbar like on the flatbed. would make it easyer to atatch and detatch wheels and towbar.

We brought a strong but light colapsable plastic box (I think used for transporting wegetables and stuff to shops) and used it for a table, a box to atach to the flatbed for shopping and so on.
