Often the trailer setup gets longer than a double-cab full-size truck while attached to the puller vehicle, which can be under-dimensioned for a heavy duty. Anyway, a trailer may not be the perfect solution for everyone, but it can still provide good results when used reasonably, and it also applies for trucks.

Spotted this Fiat Palio Adventure Locker with a trailer hauling an 18-feet boat.

If the Celta is a 4 passenger car, it should come with a hitch installed.. 
I got a wiring kit for my Ford Esc for Xmas. It was a surprise.
I wasn't going to order one, because Ford doesn't install the three relays
you need in the fuse box..
Then, I found the relays on-line for $8 each.. Still I procrastinated,
because I could not see any metal contacts in the relay sockets...
Soon after xmas, I finally found out the bad news (on-line trailer store),
Ford failed to install the contacts under those three light control relays.. (Cost of copper?)
My kit is worthless..

Those are more like works of art than trailers.

The Mullins is [probably a reproduction of] a classic design from the '30s.
According to
<http://www.google.com/search?q=Mullins+trailer>
an original sold for US$26K in 2006, but the fiberglass reproductions are all over the street rod scene. So you could have your own.
The floor of the tiny tear' is 4.5x3 wheel diameters (8-10"?)
