Hi Cyclotourist, My household has a Burley Nomad cargo trailer that my husband uses each week to pick up our CSA share. This spring, I converted our Nomad from the old-style clamp-on hitch to the "standard forged" hitch, so I could put a rear-mount kickstand on my husband's new bike (a Surly Cross-Check).
We got the replacement hitch at www.biketrailershop.com. If you order one, you'll need to know whether your Burley has round or square tubing in the tow arm. You can get extra receivers if you use the trailer with more than one bike. The kickstand doesn't interfere with the trailer. We did have to put a slightly longer axle on his rear wheel to accommodate the trailer hitch receiver.
