VFW Other models

The register lists here 14 versions with unladen weights from 530 to 990 kg, gross vehicle weights from 780 to 1,300 kg and widths from 2,040 to 2,160 mm.

With gross weights under 1.3 tonnes, the VFW trailers sit in the segment of small to mid-size car trailers, used for camping, garden work or carrying vehicles and equipment behind cars and light estates without a need for a heavier tow vehicle.

When buying used, check the chassis and drawbar for rust and distortion, the tow coupling and jockey wheel for smooth movement, the brake system for function, and the side panels and load floor for moisture damage. Spare parts for the axle, coupling and brake on VFW trailers, as with comparable smaller builders, come from the general trailer-accessories trade. It is also worth checking the tyres and rims for age, tread depth and load rating, the spare wheel or repair kit and on-board tools, and that the chassis number, type plate and vehicle documents all match.
