No worries. I tried to be as descriptive as possible so that others can try it for themselves. This is my / our first trailer and we wanted to start out this way so that we could get a feel for what it is we wanted out of a trailer without laying out the cash for something that we won't use or is wrong for our needs. I fully expect that we might change to a pre-built cargo trailer later on, once we've established our usage.

One thing our keen eyed observers may notice is that the support / stroller (yeah right) wheel is on the outside of the trailer arm. This was done as a reaction to the mount hitting the spokes while we were trying to turn the bike trailer combo dismounted. The wheel is only there as a support and is not used / mounted when the trailer is attached. We had hoped to use the trailer as a shopping cart, but the stroller handle was missing part of it's clamp, and the front wheel of this thing isn't well suited to the task.
