Van der Sluis – other models: the collective page of car trailers outside the named ranges, mostly the VS 2000 version, 520 to 920 kg unladen weight, 1,285 to 3,000 kg gross weight
This page gathers the Van der Sluis trailers the register could not assign to a named range. The great majority of the recorded names are spelling variants of the same VS 2000 version, alongside which the abbreviations PAD and SLEP and the model EP 248 also appear in the register.

The register lists here 30 versions with unladen weights from 520 to 920 kg, gross weights from 1,285 to 3,000 kg and widths from 1,780 to 2,330 mm.
Trailers of this weight class are used by tradespeople, farmers and private owners behind cars and light commercial vehicles for haulage tasks up to just under three tonnes gross weight; the narrow span of unladen weights from 520 to 920 kg points to a fundamentally similar construction across the various recorded versions. Up to 3.5 tonnes combination gross weight, a BE driving licence is sufficient in most European countries.
When buying a used car trailer of this class, what counts is the condition of the frame, load bed and side boards, corrosion on load-bearing parts and axles, the function of the overrun brake and lighting, and the condition of the tyres; wear and spare parts are available through the general trailer trade. The condition of the coupling head, jockey wheel and safety chain also belong in the pre-purchase check. Tyre tread depth and age are also worth checking, since trailers of this class are often used only seasonally.

What to check before buying
- Search the frame and welds at the axle mounts — that is where cracks start.
- Check the brakes and the last inspection in the papers.
- Work the gross weight against the towing vehicle before buying.
- Compare the chassis number with the papers.
- Look at the floor, cover or body from the inside — rust does not show from outside.
