Buy or hire the A Transporter (A4) if...

  • you want one that is rated 1,250kg heavier gross

One of the most common car trailers in Britain, bought by trade and private owners for moving road cars, project cars and small vans. The reason it sells is the spread of bed length and gross weight combinations, which lets you match the trailer to the tow car rather than the other way round.

Buy or hire the Cadix if...

A mid-sized camping trailer for families wanting more load space than the Alicante for tents and holiday gear. The 205cm bed is the practical difference: it takes a folded awning or a family tent lengthways, which the shorter Alicante will not. Still unbraked, so no servicing beyond lights and bearings.
