Wally,
I HIGHLY recommend you go for a larger hitch. One with a
2" receiver.
Why, sure you may not need it to pull the p15/trailer, but
with a little
extra investment in your hitch, you can use a "hitch haul"
(a metal grate
platform that goes into your receiver) for extra utility, or
to haul your
greasy leaking motor *outside" your carpeted car when taking
it to the
repair shop, or for hauling your spring manure bags home to
your garden.
They even make one with a ball on the tail side of the hitch
haul so you
get the storage *and* can tow your trailer.

Thomas is bringing up something very useful here. I have
wondered how to make the P15 trailer useful for moving furniture, hauling
garbage to the dump, etc. Possibly building a wooden platform to fit on
the top. Has anyone done anything like this?

Mike, P15
