The OP mentioned that he wanted to attach the trailer to the seat stay. The more I think about it, the worse of an idea that would be for a single wheel locked frame trailer to use a seat stay or seat post as a lock point to keep the trailer lined up with the rest of the bike.
You want to have a rather wide attachment point for the trailer frame. That way it spreads the leverage across a wide point and doesn't concentrate it all at one point. The seat stay is only about 34mm wide. The rear drop outs are about 135-150mm. Best to attach the frame to the drop out area.
If the trailer was a 2 wheel trailer, then you would only need one hitch attachment point since there would not be any appreciable side loading. You could then use the seat post as the attachment or even the seat stay.
oh bro..i did not think about it.....u r 100% right....i just called the guy who helps me and asked to stop working.....but regarding that i have some questions
1. if i change quick release on rear wheel what size would i need? i am thinking to get an used fork and to attach it to trailer so i will mount trailer like rear wheel. but will that thin thing could handle 10-20 kg? maybe 30 kg.....i was thinking that quick release would brake apart.
