Hi,
Am looking into buying a trailer for a 3 month + tour of france and spain, current options are BoB, kool stop - koolmule + wilderbeast. Has anyone any experience of using these trailers?
Advice would be very much appreciated. (thanks Dave.O.)

Have settled on the wilderbeast, for the option to carry panniers low down at the same time. Any owners out there?

i have used a bob on several tours, the longest being a ride around lake superior with my wife. We rode a tandem and covered 1700 miles of road and dirt(even some singletrak) without a problem. My wife is an artist and the bob allowed us to carry her supplies and plenty of gear- I will always use a trailer if my choice is a full set of panniers(front and back) or a trailer. The single wheel of the bob was great for tight trails and narrow shoulders.
