Suspension and tire size.
Leaf spring suspension has a lot of bounce to it and can cause sway issue when striking a series of bumps at a high rate of speed. Even railroad tracks will boing the trailer side to side, as well as bouncing up and down. Not real good for a bike.
Individualized Torsion Bar is the best.
Consider a good wheel chuck you drive into and have it lock automatically.
I got bullet steel front stone guard panels and fenders, 16" wheels, and the LED lighting package.
My favorite brand is Wells Cargo.

I started with a 12 foot utility trailer fixed up pretty nice to carry my bike on , worked well too but then decided I had to have an enclosed trailer . At the time I had a Chevy Z71 , when I pulled that enclosed trailer you could actually see the gas needle move . Got rid of that and bought a Kendon , light easy to tow and easy to store when not in use , not easy to load a bike with by yourself , got to where I was afriad to load my Heritage on it by myself so took a hit and got rid of it . Two years ago I bought an Aluma and installed a Condor wheel chock and this is without question the best trailer I have ever owned to move my bike with . I dont use it often maybe 6 times a year but still wont get rid of this trailer as long as I have a bike , but I am sure all trailers have their good and bad points .
