Who's pulling what camper?
After spending 45 minutes with the Time Out Camper salesman at the Birch Run Bike Show today, I'm still slightly undecided as to which camper I want.
I have narrowed it down to what I believe are the five top campers.
The Time Out http://www.timeout-trailers.comis roomy, and totally off the ground, but set-up looks to be a bit of a hassle.
The Bunkhouse http://www.bf-specialties.comis a bit pricey but looks to be a nice unit.
The Aspen Classic http://www.trailmasterinc.comlooks like a quick and easy set-up.
The Leesurelite http://www.leesurelite.comsets up in less than a minute.
I haven't gotten any feedback from the Roll A Home distributor yet. http://www.rollahome.com
From my point of view, I'm leaning towards the Leesurelite or the Bunkhouse,for quick set-up and spacious sleaping room.
Just curious what camper you pull, and if you had or have any problems with it.
I will be going with theBushtec hitch. From what I can see by the pictures, the Hitch Doc has a large chrome bar hanging down where it makes the hitch noticeable.
Input please?

Got a 2003 Bunkhouse--we pull it about 4 times a year with the Tour Classic---never had any problems and the camper has held up just fine thru all kind of weather---Bushtec hitch is a very good hitch---you can also find a spare tire for it at almost any trailer place that will be cheaper than the company sells----make sure ya get the cooler holder---having an ice cold DR PEPPER when ya stop is great during the Sumner-------

I currently pull a Kwik Kamp (no longer in production). Nice rig, pulls great. But if I were to buy a new one it would be a Bunkhouse without a doubt.

RE: Who's pulling what camper?
I have been pulling a bunkhouse for about the last 150K miles. Before that I pulled a Timeout. Both are good trailers to pull behind a bike and for camping. The difference like you mentioned is the set up time. If there are two people setting up the Timeout then it's not bad at all, by yourself can be a pain. The Bunkhouse takes less then a minute with just one person. The other plus is all your gear is not laying inside the trailer once it's set up like it is with the Timeout. A friend of mine just picked up the Aspen and it's a nice rig....If I was looking to buy another one I would look hard at the Aspen.

RE: Who's pulling what camper?
I dont have anyone of these, but I have a homemade simular tothe bunkhouse. Wife and I looked at a few over the past 2 years, but settled on a used homemade to ensure we would enjoy this type of camping.
Here was my take.
1. Time out. Flimsy at best and need to use an air matress. Not the most comfy
2. Bunkhouse. Great unit. Easy set up and lots of room. There are a number of options you can get, but I would definatly consider the add a room. Friend has the LX model and he loves it.
3. Aspen. A breakout company from bunkhouse or vi sa versa. Great camper and the option of the hardtop unit seems nice.
4. Leesurlite unit is heavy, but seems to be the easiest to set up. The only issue I saw was that the storage space is limited.
5. roll-a-home. recently changed hands. New Owner. Dont know much about it.
