Default Trailers

I was just wondering how many of you tow a trailer behind your bike ? I probably have over 50,000 miles towing a trailer and have towed it cross-country several times , If you like camping it's the only way to go !!!

I towed my home built all over the place behind a Goldwing. Often loaded over 500lbs with everything including the kitchen sink, Made camping much more comfortable and trips with the ole lady a breeze since she had room for all her crap. About the only difference I noticed was a huge decrease in fuel mileage.

I agree 100%. I pull a Hannigan trailer and we love it. We do allot of camping but we also stay often in hotels etc. But with the Trailer it makes touring better. If a person is doing only "over nighters" to me that's not "touring" that's a long ride.
to me pulling a trailer is like riding 2-up. Its a little different but worth it.

I have 2 trailers that I tow with the bike. I started with a Harbor Freight Tag A Long which has served me well. Awesome for those trips that I just tent camp or when I go to visit Family out of state and just want some hauling space. My other trailer is a Kompact Kamp camper, sets up in minutes and makes for an awesome camping experience.
Both trailers are worth taking on a trip

We've got over 100K on our Aluma trailer. Two bikes and now a trike. The only way to travel.

I have two trailers.


One constructed out of a PU toolbox and can haul lots of stuff.


Other trailer is a Road Dog and great trailer!


Only trouble is finding the time/reason to use either.

So much easier to throw **** in a trailer than to tie on the bike. Plus the little woman can bring more clothes! Happy wife, Happy life.
