tony, do you really think they are THAT bad if they are cheap??
You rarely get good load bearing hubs and decent brakes on cheap (couple of hundred quid) trailers. The payload capacity will also be lower. Suppose it also depends upon how often your going to use it. Once or twice a year ain't gonna kill it off too quickly I suppose, but if you have £500-£600 quid to spend then find a mate in a similar position and club together to get a decent one.
