Here is the link for the trailer: http://www.wikihow.com/Build-a-Bicycle-Cargo-Trailer
and here is the link for the hitch: http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3.../TrailerB3.jpg

I am going to be carrying about 25-60 pounds but I don't know for sure yet. But somewhere in that range.
I will be carrying a small 1 or 2 person tent, clothes, small stove, gas "things" (pulling a blank right now), a sleeping bag (maybe on the rear rack actually). And this is going to be about 70% canal trail, recently paved due to popularity, so I'm not too worried about the wheel (or wheels) hitting a rumble strip or falling off the side of the road.

PS: Has anyone added training wheels to keep the trailer from tipping over?
