Little trailer question

[mr_mojo97]

Hey all,

We're looking for a trailer for our Boxer Autocruise Alto, nothing big, just a small one to put our inflatables in and a couple of other larger items that take up too much space inside.
It's probably a silly question but just wondering if it's OK to use a small trailer sized trailer like a Daxara 127 or similar size with small wheels behind a big van?
TIA

Why not?

Small trailers are notoriously difficult to reverse, but being small, are easy to unhitch if not overloaded !
You might need an adjustable height towball as nothing looks worse than a little trailer "dragging it's bum" while being towed and might affect the required noseweight ?
I have a small Franc trailer with 8" wheels that sit almost underneath it and managed to tip it on a roundabout once when carrying my welder and genny, which were well within its carrying capacity, but the design is a bit "top heavy".
I've just Googled Daxara 127 and it looks similar to mine, I'd be looking for something a bit more substantial with next size up wheels and and a wider wheelbase if it was me ?

I know exactly what you mean but it shouldn't make any difference.
The recommended height for a towball is 17 inches above ground level.
The trailer hitch should be that height at manufacture.
