Full disclosure: this trailer is now on its third set of kids and probably nearing the end of its useable life. That said, our two have been perfectly happy for the past couple of years and we're only upgrading as they both want to ride their own bikes now.
Full specs are on the Halfords website here: https://www.halfords.com/cycling/bike-accessories/child-bike-trailers/halfords-double-child-bike-trailer-530508.html
I have added a layer of correx to the base, as the cordura-type fabric seems to have lost its waterproofing and the kids were getting wet arses on rainy days. The left hand brake lever could also do with a bit of TLC (the RH one works fine). Otherwise in good working order with the wear and tear you'd expect. Has been kept indoors (for the whole time we have had it, and as far as I know before that too).
The connector we have says that it is for QR axles only, and this is what we use on the bike that normally tows it. However I have been able to connect it to a 12mm TA on my gravel bike but if you want to do this you may need an axle which has a bit of extra thread to ensure it can screw in on the drive side.
I'd note that this will just squeeze through a normal width door, but for the sake of your own paintwork I'd advise keeping it in a garage or somewhere with wider access if possible.
Located in Sidcup, DA15.
