If you don't have a rear view camera, you might want to get one. You probably won't be able to see the trailer in your mirrors!
I have the identical Carry-On trailer, that I got from Tractor Supply Company. I towed it, empty, from here to Nevada, and returned with a Kawasaki Brute Force 750 ATV on it, with my Dodge 1500. I could see the tailgate sticking up in the windshield mounted rear view mirror, but I could not see the trailer at all in the side mirrors except when going around a corner!
Other than that, I had no problems. The trailer did not bounce around much when empty or when loaded. No tires blew out, no bearings failed, all the lights worked, there was no sway, I did not use a WD hitch or a sway control, it was a great trip! I did use an adjustable ball mount, so the trailer was nearly level when hooked up.
