Frequently Asked Questions

A Caboodle® is a complete, DIY package of an ultra-multifunctional trailer that can be used for an almost infinite range of applications.

From a mobile office or mobile workshop to a Tiny-house or sports trailer and everything in between or around it.

Apart from the fact that you have an enormously large, closed trailer at the lowest possible costs, which can be used for almost any purpose, the Caboodle®'s strong points are that it is very light in weight, which means it has a very large loading or construction capacity. remaining of more than 2 tons.

Due to its low weight, it can be driven behind almost any normal passenger car on public roads, in contrast to heavy wooden tiny houses or container designs.

So there is no need for large cranes or trucks to move it.

 

When designing, we deliberately did not assign a fixed function to the Caboodle® so that you can decide for yourself what the ideal use is for you. In short, you can make and implement anything yourself and decorate the Caboodle® the way you like it or need it. For example, you can use your Caboodle® for business purposes during the week; for transport or as an office on location and use it for recreation at the weekend.

The Caboodle® comes in 2 sizes:

- the 600 Cruiser has a construction length of 6 m, 2.5 m wide and a construction height of 2.2 m.

- And the 840 LandYacht with a  length of 8.4 meters and 2.5 meters wide. The height is 2.2 meters, just like in the 600 Cruiser

Of course! The entire design is aimed at always and immediately being able to drive away legally on public roads!

However, the towing vehicle must be allowed to tow the total weight of the trailer plus whatever may have been attached or deployed and the driver must have an appropriate driver's license.

We have done everything we could to make the design as simple as possible and to keep the various parts as large as possible. This means that very big steps can be taken in just days and anyone can do it, even without technical experience.

The entire chassis is already assembled and equipped with lighting & papers, on top of which comes the already assembled and pre-finished platform.

The structure consists of pre-treated large iron frames that only need to be screwed, after which the custom-made floor parts and pre-cut exterior plating can be mounted.

The windows also come ready-made, the only thing that takes more time are the sealing strips as the final step.

All in all, it is reasonable to expect that it will be completely assembled in about 4 to 5 days with 2 people.

Yes, that is allowed, but you must have the correct driver's license and the car must be allowed to tow the total weight.

The Caboodle® is completely 'made in Holland' and every part is manufactured by leading Dutch companies.

The possible uses are endless, so yes, you can certainly also live in it. How you want to live in it is entirely up to your own image and wishes. If you want to finish it further, we optionally have custom-made and insulated wall coverings available, or a reinforced base or what about ready-made double glazing all around, so that you can create an extremely comfortable tiny Bungalow in no time!

The package is so complete that it contains everything for a closed, drivable and finished Caboodle® and contains:

- fully assembled mobile chassis with conformity documents or Dutch approval**

- the specially designed removable platform fully mounted and fixed on the trailer.

- the insulated floor parts, ready for installation

- the complete surface-mounted frame in several parts, fully prepared for final assembly. including all door frames and other window frames and including latches and hinges.

- Impact-resistant (hail-resistant) polyester roof panel (off-white)

- Impact-resistant polyester front panel (high-gloss off-white)

- All side panels in high-gloss off-white and gold printed aluminum

- All prefabricated windows with anodized aluminum frame and 4mm PMMA LQ glass

- All aluminum finishing frames including tent rails and 2 gutters

- sealants, nails and drills

The Caboodle® consists of a galvanized iron chassis and iron superstructure frame with part aluminum and part polyester plating. The windows are made of UV-resistant PMMA LQ glass.

The insulated floor plates consists of different layers: partly polyester, partly wood with an insulation core made of recycled PET bottles

Yes, very good indeed! because the Caboodle® is equipped with a hail-resistant or impact-resistant polyester roof sheet and the same front sheet.

We dare to say that it is designed very environmental friendly! By minimizing the use of plastics and the excellent recycling option of all parts, combined with a very long life expectancy, the ecological footprint is minimal. Because it is produced entirely in the Netherlands, there are also extremely few emissions from transport

Yes, this is an option for Dutch customers and it can be delivered immediately with a license plate. For other countries it comes with a EU. Certificate of Conformity with which the chassis can easily be registered in the country in question in accordance with the European type approval.

For an admission or license plate, etc. This is not required based on the European type approval, but each country can apply its own rules.

With regard to periodic inspections, this also differs per country: In the Netherlands there is (yet) no periodic inspection obligation (MOT) for trailers under 3.5 tons, but this periodic inspection obligation does exist in other countries.

The Caboodle® comes in high-gloss off-white with a high-gloss gold center stripe over the sides.

On request it is possible to get this standard gold center strip in any color and/or print you want. With or without text or (company) logo!

You can supply the design yourself and we will ensure that it is exactly the way you want it.

Yes, that is very possible. This can be your own design, with your own print, motif or color, but a logo or text can also be applied to the standard version. All this is in consultation and based on the files you provide

Yes, the Caboodle® is designed in such a way that the entire structure can be lifted off in a fraction of the time without difficult disassembly using the optional telescopic support legs and placed on a fixed foundation.

You just loosen a few locking bolts - and the locking clamps - and then you turn it up and drive the chassis out from under it. You can then use this base for other purposes.

A (hand) drill, 

2 Socket wrench sets,

a pop rivet pliers,

a caulking gun and a pair of clamp pliers

Furthermore, a few days of time and -what is very useful and fun- is a construction buddy. Not so much because of the weight of the parts, but rather because of the size and to be able to aim things properly. (and of course to be able to take photos of your own construction project J)

The Caboodle® was not designed for the transport of cars. But motorcycles, quads or other voluminous things with a not too great weight are absolutely possible. Make sure that you distribute and secure the weight in the trailer properly.

Tip: if you use the Caboodle® for the transport of vehicles, we would like to recommend the heavy duty floor in view of a higher point load, but also because of the smoother surface which is easy to clean.

Yes, both the standard floor and the heavy duty floor panels are insulated

A completely assembled Caboodle® as supplied as standard weighs approximately 1400kg. this includes the rolling chassis and the platform! Self-applied additions are not included here and are therefore deducted from the free remaining construction weight.

Yes, everyone can buy the Caboodle® either at one of our dealers or directly at the factory.

Of course! In fact, we supply the Caboodle® as standard with tent rails for both the full sides and the back. This allows you to use a standard caravan awning but also a custom-made awning or tent, just like with any caravan

Yes, very good indeed and at most reasonable costs!

With its enormous and 100% flat floor space, the large 180 degree openable rear doors, both side doors & ventilation/issue hatches and the large windows, the Caboodle® offers the ideal basis for doing all kinds of things with it. It is not without reason that we say that the only limitation is your own imagination.

But don't forget the enormous payload of more than 2000 kilos, which means it has no trouble housing large equipment and plenty supplies!

Yes: The interior height from the floor is approximately 215 cm!

Nice, we'd like you to!
