My search continues. Have tracked down several affordable options for small lightweight trailers, but all were a bust:
1) Space Trailers: closest match to a general purpose lightweight gear hauler. Affordable price at $2800. But way too wide for my storage area.
2) Venter Savuti: South African company, affordable enclosed "luggage" trailers under 66" wide (sweet old school look). Have seen references to around $3k for the basic model I think. No response, seems to have closed North American operations.
3) Trail Tested trailer: Affordable basic box trailer kit under 66" wide, $3400 (best value I've seen for a basic trailer to build from). Stopped production.
4) Morris Mule: enclosed utility style box trailer, only 61" wide, $3500. Business closed.
Haven't heard back from Manley ORV yet. Everything else on the market is either way overbuilt for my needs or astronomically overpriced for what it is. Really surprised there's not more of a market for minimal compact camping trailers in the sub $4k range.
