Found this trailer in the forums on TheSamba.com. Hi all, I have an 1960´s ERDE single
wheel trailer. Just wondered if anyone else has one over your side of the water? Being French, I suppose most were/do live in UK/Europe.
It appears the original colour was army green. It has a farme hood " the PO has made a blue canvas cover. The bus is away being restored
at the moment so I have not had a chance to work out where I'm going to mount the coupling. I really don't want to drill into my bumpers
and have brakets sticking out!! I'm going to ask a fabrication shop if they can mount something to the bumper irons so the trailer will
attch just below the bumper. I also plan to remove the lights,just have the old reflectors. From what I've read from the 1989 road
traffic act here in UK, a trailer built before 1985 does not require lighting, providing the hauling vehicles lights can be seen whent
he trailer is in line with the vehicle - cool eh!! I have tried searching on here, also tried www.singlewheel.com (brilliant site) but
can't get any model no.'s or production dates etc. any how,I'm currently stripping it down and will be painting it in L282 Lotus White
to match my 69 bus. here is some pics before the strip down.........
