It's really not that hard to set up or to do. I built my own reciever on my 5th wh. also built my own trailer. Long tongue for stability like a boat trailer & minimal weight on back of 5th wh. Trailer weights 1200lbs empty. I haul 1800lb buggy on it. I can pick up the trailer tongue empty or loaded. I can really feel the added weight when pulling, power wise. As far as how it handles you can't tell it's there. For your needs it would be much simpler. A piece of channel iron with a light axle centered so most of the weight is on the axle when loaded, & a hitch on the other end. License it, put lights on it, strap down your bike & go. I would guess a little trailer like you need would weigh less then 250lbs.
