Hacked, Conversions and Trailering"Harley Sidecar, Conversion Trikes and Motorcycle Pull Behind Trailering Enthusiasts"
A forum for the discussion of your sidecar, Conversion Trike or Pull Behind Motorcycle Trailer.
The design in my photos is known as a "Pico-Light"; it supposedly weighs 280lbs when completed. I'm not sure if this is "heavy" in the scheme of things. I don't know what other trailers are weighing-in at.

I've read about the "Pico-Light", but I've never seen one. I'd consider the 280 lbs light for any type of camper that is being pulled by a motorcycle. Most of the tent based pop-up campers are around 210 lbs to 385 lbs.
Timeout Slipstream Camper: 210 lbs
Kompact Kamp Mini Mate: 265 lbs
Aspen Classic: 350 lbs
Roll-A-Home Wide Bed: 385 lbs
The Teardrops I'm familiar with are:
Go Little Guy Rascal (I don't think this is made anymore): 490 lbs
I know this is an older thread but I happen to come across an interesting website that sells plans to build your own teardrop camper. You can even purchase a kit that contains all the parts.
