Probably would have been better on a solid axle. All the same it’s in a bad state - overloaded the trailer, swinging over every bump started bending the hitch/fork. Damaged it enough to come loose. Nightmare journey back.
Anyway, by some stroke of luck I found this for £20 today. Seems also Chinese made, also on the lower end of quality, but a massive step up. Still similar QR issues with old school dropouts and wheel slip. Maybe better with vertical dropouts once I have my other bike back from Italy.

Would this one not be better on a solid axle? Get an extra long axle, long enough to fit your main axle nuts and an extra set of nuts on the ends to secure the trailer. I’d use nylocs as it sort of feels like the trailer hitch shouldn’t be rigidly mounted.
