Default Trailer to pull behind motorcycle

Trying to find out what's out there. I plan on being in Daytona for Octoberfest and have seen trailer vendors there. Does anyone know who and what brand might be there? Also any suggestions on the better ones or experience?
Thanks Allen

Purchase a pre-owned one to save some cash. Many times people will buy a trailer and never use it or don't use it very often. It ends up taking up space in the garage, and than the owner realizes if I sell this item, I free up more space. You end up getting a barely used trailer for a lot less money.

If you want Quality and well tested products Take a look at Hannigan. They have been at this a long time and are good at what they do. What they build will hold up track right and if anything ever happens they will still have the molds and part to repair it.

Bushtec is way up on the list of the finest trailers available ... and their suspension stays planted on the road ... Quality, fit and finish is second to none ... I've had 850 mile days at 80 plus mph and never knew it was behind me ... Mine is a Quantum just like the one pictured here ... $3500.00 is a good price for one in excellent condition ... follow the link that was provided earlier

Yep I bought my used 2001 Motorvation for $1500.
Many good used ones out there but the are scattered all over the states.Not like buying a car.
I had to drive 240 miles RT to get mine.

Got my new trailer home. 720 mile day in rain and shine.
I'm very happy with my Nomad from http://motorcycletrailers.us/ Pulled it from Arkansas to Sturgis last year.

Depends on how fancy you want to get, I got less than 125 bucks in this one and use it behind the HHR or the Softail. Use it to haul all my camping gear w/its own 12v power supply and charging station, and 3 days cold storage built in, tents 2-24'x36' tarps, folding trench shovel and saw, cook stove and gas bottles, 20" deep air mattress, air compressor to fill it,, sleeping bags, coffee pot, mess kit clothes line, and on this trip 42" HD collapsing handle Salmon net. cooler and battery were axtra,,

Used small boat trailer, and used car rooftop cargo carrier, and a little time, will carry more than I plan on carrying. Oh ya, and my old steel lawn chair donated the back legs for the bumper on the back.Kinda makes it personal.

I don't see any front side marker lamps. They are required. I can't tell from your picture, but do your rear lamps reflect red?
