ties

Try wire ties as stops for the car top carrier mounts. See if you can use bike tool cable tightener to tighten wire ties.

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.

other than no bed, I like this the best, lowest, shortest and okay price  spare is less money,  

both 16" wheel trailers want a tongue height of 22"   both are okay on class 1 hitch 
not sure about dock doctors....

I t ink the info on sportsrig is not right for the trailer they're selling NOW - all images show no bed, weight with bed? size of bed? unknown...
