I like this one:
https://www.sportsrig.com/shop/microtrailer/sportsrig-adventure-trailer.php
person using unistrut for bars had a failure. looks like too much torque on it and it twisted the fittings.
I would not buy it with those lame hubs and wheels with a 4 x 4“ bolt pattern.
I would demand a 5 x 4.5” bolt pattern. Your tire choices will be greater.
