Have a look at the trailers that Tony Hoar makes. www.TonysTrailers.com

They're designed and built in Canada. Tony is an ex-professional racer and engineer, and he puts a great deal of thought into his designs.

I have three of his trailers at present (a single-wheeler, a grocery-getter and a mid-size cargo trailer). I've used his large cargo trailers several times (including one time that I moved my entire apartment's contents using the trailer--one load carried a double mattress and box spring, plus three full Rubbermaid bins). These trailers have allowed me to livehappily without a car for almost five years.I'm a definite convert.

I also prefer a trailer with two wheels rather than the one wheel model such as the BOB trailer. Also, the trailer will never be used off-road, so would like something with bigger rubber wheels for quiet and smooth running on paved surfaces.

Anyone have any recommendations?
Thanks
