Any decent trailer shop in your area should be able to cobble one up
pretty quickly/cheaply, BUT...

While the Coastal isn't rated to tow, I've used one on my 2Gs to tow
up to 2000lbs before. While I wouldn't go that heavy very often, I
tow 500lbs or so all the time (the 4x8 trailer is almost 300 by itself!).
