Trailer

Trailers are wheeled platforms which are designed for carrying additional items and can be attached to vehicles.

## Description

Trailers can be attached to the tow hook at the rear of most vehicles. This can be particularly useful for transporting large items such as barrels. However, it could also slow down your vehicle, become unstable and could make it much harder to go up terrain like mountains.

Trailers can be found around the world in several different types of buildings, even some smaller ones. They are usually in need of repair, but can often times still be attached and used. Trailers can be restored using wire brushes, sponges and polish.

## Types

There are two main types of trailers, which are the small trailers, and the large trailers.

### Small trailers

Small trailers have two wheel mounts, one on each side and can be attached to a car or bus. The two wheels are the same as those used by all the other cars in the game so can be easily swapped out if they are in poor condition.

Trailers are often found with no wheels installed. If the player is hoping to find a trailer on their travels it may be worth carrying some spare wheels that can be installed if necessary.

Care needs to be taken when driving and towing a trailer as the car's handling will be affected and there is nothing to prevent cargo being flung from the trailer unless you mount baskets to the trailer and store items in said baskets.

Each trailer has its own tow hook which allows another trailer to be attached to it in turn. Vehicle handling becomes progressively erratic the more trailers are chained together.

### Large Trailers

Large trailers are larger, four wheeled trailers in game which can also be towed, of which there are 3 different varieties.

They have a trailer brake which locks or unlocks the wheels. The brake is controlled by a switch at the front of the trailer which has an indicator light - red if the brake is on, green is the brake is off. Turning the trailer brake on is useful when attaching the trailer to a truck to keep it from rolling away. The trailer brake must be released before attempting to tow the trailer.

As with small trailers, large trailers are often found with no wheels. Large trailers use the same wheels as the IFA W50 and the Bus.

#### Tanker trailers

Can carry up to 3000 litres of fluid and may spawn with large amounts of any fluid. It has a filler on the top and two taps (driver side and rear) to allow its contents to be drained.

#### Camper trailers

Are fully enclosed with 6 roof hatches and a sunroof, good for carrying large amounts of smaller items or making a cosy little mobile home.

#### Flatbed trailers

Have a wood bed and shallow wood side panels with a flip down rear door, ideal for carrying large items like engines and barrels or a vehicle.

## Strategy

Trailers can be restored using wire brushes, sponges and polish, so you can do that to ensure your trailer is used to its full potential.

Fitting a large trailer with car wheels lowers it to the same level as a small trailer, allowing it to be towed easily by a car or a bus.

**A hint for players**: in fact you don't need any trailers! The Lada 2102 is enough to carry 4 Jerrycans of gasoline, 3 Jerrycans of water, 3 oils, and you don't even need to remove the rear seat, where you can put detector, shovel, and toy rifle.Eat the cookies, bread, hang the sausages in the car, and store all the porks in 4 baskets.

You don't need Camper Trailer, it's very unuseful, because:

First it is very very heavy to climbing the hill,

Second you don't need its space:

You can't use the cooking stove, and you don't need the gas cylinder, also toilet, bed, chairs.

You don't need the fridge, still heavy, if you don't care, a coffin is a more better chest.

You don't need one barrel, if you filled 80L gasoline in one, it's too heavy for you move it and both for your car climbing hill, 4 Jerrycans are better.

So, if you still wanna cosplay a long train, well, you are the king you made (plains only).
