Makes sense.  Just wanted to be sure you knew what you were getting 
into...  I haven't bought a trailer yet for the very same reason.  
However, the kids are getting bigger, and it would be nice to be able to 
throw bikes (or dirt bikes) and camping gear in a trailer rather than in 
the mini-van when we go on vaca.  Just got an older Mini-trail from a 
co-worker (borrowing and maintaining) and the kiddos are pumped.  My 3 
yr old asks me almost every day if we can go ride it...
