FYI - one thing to think about with a trailer is you usually have a speed restriction on the highway of 55 mph
the reciever hitch is is not any more difficult to load a bike solo than on a trailer, in fact, arguably easier, in my oinion
you also don't have the same maneuvering issues
get a wrangler with class III hitch!

= another option...
I looked this product up as well. Again I called the local dealer that they have listed on there website and the shop has no idea what I am talking about. the shop listed says that they are not a dealer. WTF!?

i had a guy deliver a bike to me using the trailer-in-a-bag. it was pretty stable, i was surprised when he folded it up like that. they do NOT appear to be rock-solid, but for shortish journeys, they are probably fine.
one thing to be aware of -- there is NO rock/debris protection from your car/truck tires. you should cover your bike with something to protect it.
That's all I want it for short taking my bike to a dealer or whatever. I figure at most I would drive it at max 2 hours away. I have no illusions that this is the perfect trailer but for me it fits the best. Just like any tool people have they have preferences over others.

i was looking at the trailer in a bag, same concept for me, something to bring the bike to the dealer 1 or maybe 2 times a year 2-3 hours each way tops probably less in all likelihood for maybe 1 round trip per year if all goes well.

it's a good choice then, just be aware that the TIRES do not go into the bag, lol.. also, he told me he upgraded the pins which hold the frame together. i think they are fairly standard clevis pins.
