In fact, the trailer was originally used to clean the waste in the gardens and carry the building materials. With the development, the trailers are popular in the camping field.
On the market, the main camping trailers are small metal trailers. They are designed by the French, and made by China or some Southeast Asian countries.
They are designed with one simple clothing covering or one plastic roof. You can put some camping facilities on the covering. And almost all the trailers have one tail board to pull out. Thanks to this tailboard, it is easier for you and me to load and unload some big and heavy goods, such as a refrigerator or big tent and so on.
If you want a high-level trailer, you can find the traditional wood made trailers. They have a wood board or plywood on the two sides. And in the bottom, there is plywood. The metal framework and the plywood will support the whole weight from the goods. This kind of camping trailer is very strong and durable. It has a long service life. Even, you can find it in the flea market.
