What would be a good trailer for the Elio? Depends on the purpose, but something lite of course. Any other suggestions?

My brother has one of these (similar) for his Gold Wing Trike.

Been reading all the posts about pulling a trailer... lots of good stuff there... I have been pulling a Bushtec Turbo motorcycle trailer on cross country trips since 1992 (basically to all 48 states and Canada) and will be using it with the Elio as well. The Bushtec trailers are not "cheap" but they are specifically designed for pulling behind MC's... Full independent suspension with air shocks so you can adjust for any load. 16" wheels, weighs 125# with a 350# GVW. 25 cu.ft. capacity. I've pulled it with a cruiser bike (92 Harley Dyna Daytona) and all of my "Baggers". These are a couple pix from a run to Sturgis in 2010... 2007 FLTR Road Glide...

one more shot of the trailer loaded before I left for the trip... We were camping so I had a full load of camping gear... As you can see you can pack a lot of gear... I think trip weight was 300# total...trailer + load
