Not a bad move, uhaul rentals are freaking expensive.
Just make sure the trailer has good tires and good bearings for long trips.

Have you used the trailer much yet? I would like to be able to tow my motorcycle (or buy another) with my car and have been thinking about how best to do that. I'm assuming the tow vehicle was the cx-5 mentioned earlier? Do you think it would fit in a smaller car? I was thinking I could just make my tail "2 pieces". Have the kamm part still attached to the car, but transfer the extension to be based on the receiver. When I wanted to tow the bike I could just remove the extension and put the trailer in the back (stock size car). Then when I get there take the trailer out and pull it home. Sound plausible?

Pretty current picture. Car is rated 1k towing capacity.
