I really want that little trailer, but it's $2K to $3K. :(

Well, I took a quick look and found some different lightweight trailers much cheaper. They might be suitable alternatives, depending on your needs:

$400: http://www.amazon.com/Yukon-Tracks-Trail-Warrior-Trailer/dp/B001RPD130/

Thanks for taking the time, EP. I'd mostly want it for hauling 4-5 bicycles or extra luggage on trips. That second link is an off road only trailer though:

Looks like the cheap one is available much cheaper, still...

Harbor Freight sells it for $190, currently, which combined with the 20% off coupons they litter the country with, is only $152+tax. Their less common 25% off coupons make it just $143+tax.

Some plywood for a base, cut-out to accommodate the 2x4s for the sides, shouldn't add too much more cost or weight to it.

Dude, you're kind of selling me on this. :)

At that price level it beats most of the bike and cargo carrier alternatives, and is arguably more aerodynamic to boot. Even has good "reviews" on their site. Hmmmm....

Thanks!
