I bought a 5' X 8' landscaping trailer and have used it for 3 trips to Florida, so far. Stretched metal mesh floor and tailgate which is made to load mowers, etc. and places to tie down in front and on the sides. Pulls easily, and doesn't seem to be affected by side winds too much; just have to wrap the bike in a tarp after covering it with a blanket to protect it from chafing by the tarp in the wind. This year, I put a wooden floor in it and made a ramp out of 3/4" plywood, just to make the process of loading and securing it easier. Used some eye-bolts in the process to make additional tie-downs while I was at it. It has 12" wheels which are a lot better than some of those dinky ones I see being used on the interstates. Only had to replace one set of wheel bearings, and I may not have even had to do that. I would re-pack the bearings when I bought a new, or used, one if I were you; use the best grease you can buy. Also, buy a spare tire and a complete hub set, as well. You never know... Mine was made by Carry-On and parts are available from Home Depot.
Hope this helps: Jim
