Has anyone time to talk to me about lightweight horse trailers (not for horses)

As I am so confused!!

I want to convert one to a sort of travelling shop and I need a lightweight one as my car (that I haen't bought yet) will tow 1.8

So an Ifor Williams (505?) is too heavy - but so many adverts have no weight on them which is so confusing for me

Could anyone point me to a website that has them all or a list or something?

Many thanks

Up to £12-15k

If I can find a cheaper one yeah!! But this will also be our family car for doing the Tesco shop and going on holiday in so it has to be halfway decent!

In that case have another look at Ford Galaxys. They're big and tall and I believe the seats are are removable so you can essentially turn it into a van.

Yes any of the 7 seaters like the galaxy have removable seats, or cheaper vauxhall insignia estate, giant boots ( you could sleep in there once you remove your stock to the marquee)

I have one of these Bahill single horse trailers and the unladen weight is exactly 500Kg measured on a local weighbridge. The plate however does not give the GVW Gross Vehicle Weight. If anyone knows this figure it would be handy to know
