Very nice! Any details for us? Like hitch, mods, etc.

Sweet, that looks like a modified bicycle trailer to haul kids in. We had one for our 4 kids. You could haul enough to hit the road for an indefinite amount of time, like all around the country at a slow pace, I like that idea.

It’s an aosom brand you can find on Amazon it comes with everything you need, just take out the bottom bolt on the left rear shock then put on the hitch that comes with the trailer and put the bolt back in hook up and you’re ready to ride. The tires are garbage but I had no problems and it pulled great with 50-60lbs of groceries doing 45 mph.

That’s so cool, how does it do turning?

It does good, I mean you aren’t going to turn around on a one lane road in one go but I haven’t had any issues at all.

I use a trailer like that all the time on my bicycle. Something you get used to is wide right turns, narrow left turns. Like sometimes it's better to do a tight left 270 turn than a tight right 90 turn. There's usually flex in the hitch mount to cater for lean angle and everything else, although those hitch mounts can get a bit brittle in very cold weather so check into how easy it is to replace them. Other than that, no real issues.
