But he's a little pricey.

Don't go to Hitch Man. He's way overpriced and his employees are idiots. My BIL went there for a wiring harness for his Chevy, knowing that he just needed a basic $30.00 harness, and they tried their hardest to convince him that he also needed some $70.00 do-dad in addition to the harness. If you want an inexpensive trailer, I like my Harbor Freight 4x8 kit trailer. Only problem is I bent the cheap azz axle back in the early spring, and ended up replacing the axle. Probably bent due to overloading it with dirt while parked on an uneven surface (think the axle was even resting on a rock when I was loading the dirt). If I was to do it again, I'd go to Lowes and buy a trailer from them. If you don't mind driving to Fredericksburg, the Tractor Supply Co. has good trailers for a decent price. You can also get the price on the phone and do some phone shopping between different places. Just make sure you get the deminsions and tailgate styles.

I am so very blessed
I recently bought a utility trailer from Lowe's. I purchased it, took the receipt and other miscellaneous papers up to MVA, and there I paid something like $40 dollars to get it tagged and registered. I did not have to get a separate inspection for the trailer. Once I had the tags and registration in my hands, I then went back to Lowe's and picked up my trailer - I was not permitted to take the trailer off the lot without the tags and registration. All in all, it was a pretty painless process. And the trailer was a lot less expensive than the place that sells trailers right in front of Lowe's (the old unfinished furniture store). Of course, his trailers are more industrial-quality, but for my needs, all I needed was an inexpensive means to transport small items, etc. LLowe's worked for me.
I too got my trailer at Lowes. Shopped around and Lowes had them all beat. To top that off I got a 10% off coupon of EBAY that definetly sealed the deal. Purchased my trailer on a Sunday, on Monday took paperwork over to the Fast DMV place across from KMart. 10 minutes later walked out with Tags and paperwork. Went over to Lowes and hooked that baby up. No inspection here either. Maybe if you buy a trailer out of state then you have to have it inspected in Maryland??
