A low-cost, lightweight trailer for campers and DIY users who want an occasional-use box trailer that any car can tow. At 136kg unladen it is light enough to move by hand around a drive, and the lift-off lid means it can be loaded from any side rather than over a tailgate.

A step up from the MP6810 for buyers wanting slightly more load capacity for camping, leisure or light commercial use. The extra 15cm of length and 37kg of payload over the MP6810 is the difference between a boot-load and a small van-load, at a weight any car can still tow.
