Hiking Trailers

[Caravanserai]

Due to advancing age and even more advancing arthritis, carrying a pack is no longer an option.
Hiking Trailers seem few and far between and what are available tend to be expensive.
Any inexpensive ones out there?
Rosler shopping trolleys have been touted as a more affordable alternative.
Has anyone a first hand experience of using them?
Any other advice or suggestions would be most appreciated.

Thank you for your welcome.
I will peruse at length the links that you sent and hopefully find that inspiration.
If I ever wondered if my 'nickname' was suitable, the album by Santana convinced me!

From speaking to a gentleman on the VdlP, his small cart helped him keep costs down as he could carry a small tent, using albergues when he needed to do laundry or prepare food in advance. It coped quite well with rough terrain and was an efficient dream on paved road. His main problem was on sand when the wheels bogged down and the cart was hard to pull.

I’ve never used on and don’t plan on using one. In my opinion, they look like torture devices. If I were not able to shoulder a full pack, I would look into luggage service (and pare down belongings).
