Roland,
Have you details/drawings of the trailer? Or details of the supplier?
My Europa is based at EGSL in a new steel hangar with 7 other aircraft, it is very nice but also costly (GBP225+20%VAT per month) making it the most significant fixed/variable cost. In a typical year (50 hours) this amounts to GBP64.80 of the total hourly cost.
Ideally l would trailer the aircraft from Oct to Apr each year and use the hangar at other times. But such is the demand for hangarage in Essex this option is not possible (l waited nearly 2 years for a hangar space) unless l parked it outside in the summer.
Regards
John

Hi John,
it's the same at my homebase EDLE - 340 € incl. tax/month.
My trailer is from Anschau in Germany http://www.anschau.de/englishversion.htm
It was originally built for a MCR 01, then modified for a Dallach Fascination when I bought it (for 7000 €) and then converted (for another 4000 €) for my Europa by the factory. Axel Anschau is also prepared to design a purpose fit trailer from scratch for the Europa and I guess the basic price for a similar model is about 16-17k €. That sounds expensive first but the trailer pays off in a few years.
Rigging and de-rigging is extra effort but on the other hand one avoids hangar rash and is completely autarkic also when doing maintenance at home or transporting the plane anywhere independent of the weather when needed.
Bob Harrison (G-PTAG) and Steve Pitt (G-SMDH) also have closed trailers in the UK.
Regards
Roland
