Hauling bikes-Anyone know of a small Enclosed trailer?
I ride Ultra Marathon events and hence have to carry a lot of equipment, nutrition etc.
I just came back from the Sebring Florida race, 2300 miles round trip, and had my bikes on my Thule roof rack. With high winds and the wind effect of large trucks, there were a few times that I was concerned for my bikes and want to find another way to haul them.
I want to find a small enclosed trailer to pull behind my car, but everything I have seen is either ginormous or too small for a bike. Uhaul has one that is about perfect, but I can't seem to find the manufacturer to buy one instead of renting:
Does anyone know of something similar or where this one is made? I have at least 6 more races this year and the closest is 1200 miles round trip. I don't want to lose or damage a bike the way I am carrying them now!

This may sound cheap, but I would get a flatbed type trailer and bolt large containers on it. But then, I drive a car with over 300k miles on it.

I prefer a van. You can also sleep in it on long drives or at the race.
Here's a simple small trailer that's very versatile: https://www.freewaytrailer.com/enclosed-trailers.asp
