Default lightweight cargo trailers. how would this pull w a Mini??

Hey everyone.
I'm new to the site. I'm a welder and fabricator. I build all kinds of custom products and prototypes. I love Mini coopers, I don't have one yet but I plan to get one soon.
I recently built a custom light weight cargo trailer for a customer to go behind his classic MG. I then wanted one for myself to pull behind my Jeep and future Mini. I thought this type of trailer will be a must have when going on a road trip or vacation so to have additional secure luggage room. Also good for tailgating, working etc..

Since I dont yet have a Mini. (I'm wanting the 4door AWD Clubman turbo) I want to know your feedback about these trailers and any ideas that would make these trailers ideal for other Mini owners. I plan to start producing these trailers with custom sizes, options, and paint.

These trailers weigh only 250 lbs and are fully welded and VERY strong. Let me know what you think.

Click on the link to my website. The small black one is the one I built for the MG and the tan one is the one I built for my Jeep.

Minidomore.com sells hitches and are working on the new clubman hitch so you might have to wait on that.

I'd build my own hitch and trailer. Im usally not impressed with mass produced factory hithes. I've built many custom hitches for just about everything. Ive built about 200 or so motorcycle hitches lol.

How much cargo space does your little guy have?

Can you fabricate an easily removable hitch for a 2006 S?
Thanks
