Default Trailer Hitch?

I live about 40 miles to the grocery store and would like to use my '86 to make that trip as it gets the best gas mileage of any of my vehicles. The problem is being as it is a convertible, there is not much storage room. Because I live so far away I tend to stock up when I shop. I'm thinking about towing a small light weight trailer behind the Vette that can hold a couple coolers and groceries.

I did some searching and there are not a lot of options. I did find a Curt 11705 but everywhere that sells Curt hitches shows that it is unavailable. Anyone know if any other suppliers that might have one? If I can't find one I guess I can use the photos of the 11705 and fab one up myself but I rather just buy one.

The OP never came back. Why do peeps expect replies, but never acknowledge that they saw them?

Post a WTB here on the forum and shop the multitude of available 'used' sources on the Internet.
