I want to start out with a basic trailer that has a tub and removable lid. I like the M416 style trailers. Initially it'll be used for runs to the dump, hauling a motorcycle in a pinch, and with the lid on, as a trailer to haul our stuff to a campsite or even hauling all the stuff for a family vacation. Not any rock crawling with the trailer planned, but a bumpy/rocky forest road would be nice to be able to tackle.
Tow vehicle- 2015 Jeep JKU Rubicon.
I'm on a serious budget- I'm hoping $2000-ish will get me started.
Initially I'll just carry a big ground tent and my camping gear for 4 (wife, 2 boys, me): folding chairs, coleman stove, weber Q100 grill, cooler, gear tub, etc.
Eventually I want to make it into an adventure trailer with an Engel fridge, solar and 12v battery system for fridge. Someday maybe a hot water external shower setup.
I have some extra rubicon wheels/tires I can use if that'll save me some money.
The Manley ORV looks like what I'm going for, but I don't have $7000 for one. http://manleyorv.com/trailers/morv-utility.html#
