Thanks very much for all the info, and for the photos. I'll keep my eyes open for a MK 3, and see if I might have a use for one. It sounds like it they might need a bit of work to tidy them up, and then to make them fully compatible with a 90 (electrics and tow hitch etc.)

Are there any newer trailers which would work as well with a 90? I was at the Scottish camping show recently, and one of the stands had the South African Venter trailers. However, they might be completely different to a Sankey.

If you mean what you said ... "I haven't really thought of a use for one yet" then there are other options Wink
I bought this before I bought my house a year ago .. knowing that I wanted to buy a place that might need one of these Laughing .
OK so it's a RMS (Rapier missile supply) trailer and it carries - a lot. Too much probably for your camp site but: it uses LR wheels, NATO hitch, has the width of a LR and is therefore extremely stable to drive. Also you can drop a tonne or 2 of wood or whatever you need for your house and garden. They come up for sale from time to time Sold the much modified 110 2.8, in Oz
Brought the 90 home from Switzerland ...

Don't forget you will need to retrofit a breakaway cable to a sankey, and use a load spreader plate inside the cross member and a backing plate with U eyes for the breakaway cable between pintle and cross member.

The Sankeys were replaced by Penman trailers. These are now becoming available at premium prices:

2k plus vat, where somebody put a round peg in a square hole Laughing





Fantastic advert, loads of photos and great detailed description. Just typo'd the price with too many digits.

They do look nice - stainless steel tub, I didn't know that; but over 600kgs, that's some weight.

Have they really blanked out the military reg plate in that advert?

Can you open the rear door with a MK3 attached to a nato bolted directly to the chassis?
