I like your admission. When I need to get a trailer, I think I'll post something similar. Except that Marlboros always had filters.

If you can get an enclosed trailer ., with the drop down rear door. I have one that I use when I take the whole family on vacation.
Bike is out of the weather, safe, throw you other stuff in. I can park mine inside in a parking garage.
6'x 10', mine is a 7'x12' will hold 2 baggers

The trailer in the add looks good. Looked like it had a wheel lock for the front wheel and some tie downs on each side. If you are really that interested in it, have the wife drive what you will be towing it with and you ride your bike, load it up and give it a test drive to see how it pulls before throwing cash down on it.

Looks like a pretty nice trailer on CL to me, and I've towed a lot. I've hauled a drag race car on a light single axle trailer all over the western US.
Not much to go wrong. Once a year, overall inspection for any cracks, service the wheel bearings, lights, etc. Before you buy it, do the frame check to be sure nothing is breaking on the frame. I'd do the rest of those things after you buy it so you KNOW.
One thing that cannot be stressed enough for a single axle trailer is to put the best tires you can get for it. Trailer tires are "5year tires". They fail from tread separation/carcass failure way sooner than the tread wears out.

I did look at Kendon and Baxley.. the issue w/ the Kendon is even w/ the small footprint when folded, I don't have room in the garage w/ the cars and motorcycle. The Baxley is the same issue and the fact that I nearly had a stroke when I saw the price of the Baxley! I would definitely need to sell a kidney if I purchased a Baxley!

As for trailers I hear good things about Kendon but have no personal experience with them.
