I am trying to put a trailer hitch and little utility trailer on my Mini frugally. I found the below hitch for less than half the price of Mini Do More. Has anyone any experience with it?
I also found a little 3' x 4' utility trailer with 8" wheels at Harbor Frieght Tools. Anything wrong with that?

In my opinion you get what you pay for from JC Whitney.

Several locals have the system from MINIFINI and love it. Lots of accessories and approved by MINI.
