Default Bike trailer

Any recommendations on bike trailers? Looking for a basic trailer, not enclosed and doesn't have to have sides on it either. Any ideas or thoughts on certain models or features?

Budget?

I ask because the $400 Harbor Freight can work just fine for occasional use if on a budget.

So many possibilities... I personally have a Triton AUT1064, super easy to move around, 100% aluminum.

I have a Kendon fold up 2 bike trailer. It hardly uses any room in the garage. Nice chocks and tie down points. Pulls easy, hardly affects gas mileage.
I have a 7x14 enclosed trailer that barely gets used anymore.

Kendon Standup is the way to go for our bikes. The trailer is low and very easy to load. Tracks well behind the car. Stores super easy. I bought it used on Craigslist for $1,500. They are pricey new.
Here is mine with my Fat Bob loaded and my KTM 790 Adventure.

I typically ride my bike rather than trailer it.

Not everyone is a real biker like you.

While I don't have a trailer to put a bike in, I can't fault those who own one ... Something as simple as a flat tire could make a trailer very handy
