I have a 4x8 utility trailer I tow behind my vanagon.  I got it from Harbor
Freight tools several years ago.  It was about $220, comes in kit form, you
assemble.  Takes  a few hours, but is easy to do.  I added plywood floor
and some sides that come off.  It folds up and rolls into a corner for easy
storage.  I use it more for hauling junk than for recreational
equipment.  I have towed probably close to 2000 pounds (gravel) on it for a
short distance at low speeds.  They also have smaller ones which might be
better for your kayaks depending on the size you have.  Oh, I have the
hitch that bolts to the tow hooks.  I also put a graber bike rack on that
hitch mount, and it works great too.
