I finished the trailer, finally!
It took awhile, but the end is here. I started this project on July 7th. I bought the trailer kit from Harbor Freight for $180.00, then I had to order the side kit from Harbor Freight, it cost $54.00. It was back ordered until September 16th, so I had to wait to put the bottom in until it got here. I paid $85.00 for the steel mesh bottom. The primer and black paint cost about $15.00 and the checkerboard graphics were $12.00. All in all not too bad cost wise, and the time it took wasn't bad either.
Here's a pic of how the trailer looks when you get it all put together, prior to the paint job.
Here it is in my garage.

I have the Miniature Trailer one. It is completely invisible unless you are using the hitch. I had someone else install the hitch kit while I was having the rear anti-sway put on.
Check out the NAM vendors, that's where I got mine.
I'll be using it to take stuff to Road Atlanta for DE, or to the Dragon, etc.

I actually had to do bit of searching to find the mesh bottom. I finally ended up at a welding shop, I got the guy's name from the local trailer hitch and trailer supply place. I asked the trailer place where they would go if they had to get replacement mesh for any of the landscaping trailers that they sell and service and voila! Anyway he was a great guy and told me he'd call when he had a leftover piece big enough to fit my little trailer. I just left the trailer with him for a couple of weeks and he found a piece and fit it in perfectly!

Technically I don't need one, but we had to go to the tag office to get a tag for my husband's trailer so I asked how much it would be. It was only $25.00 so I decided I'd get one to be on the safe side.
Trailer weighs about 200lbs with the bottom and sides.
I have no idea how much the hitch weighs, I'm sure Brent at Miniature Trailers would know.

Z!
We are still looking at teardrops and T@B trailers. I hope we can get one soon, but no big hurry.
I actually saw a race on the Speed channel that was trailer racing!!!
I laughed myself silly, by the end my entire family had come into the room to see what had mom in hysterics. The race was in a figure 8 pattern and there were many instances where one vehicle would land on the trailer of another and go around the track a few times like this. Of course it was all within the rules and very entertaining. I've searched for more to Tivo, but haven't found any yet. The entire point was to finish the race with some part of the trailer still attached. I was wondering if a little MINI with a tiny trailer might be a contender but decided it wouldn't be worth the risk.
Edit: I just found one on Speed Channel, it will air on October 16th at 6pm EST. I'm setting up the Tivo right now, I'm not kidding, it really is great for a good belly laugh.

I've almost decided to buy one to haul my motorcycle to the track, but still not sure of the reverse light situation. How does it pop out and pop back in? Are there quick release connectors or something? I'm not understanding the whole picture.
