Default Decided on the bushtec trailer....

Hey guys,

I posted a few days back asking about a unigo trailer. After reading alot of stuff online about them I decided against it. I really liked the concept of a trailer I could roll into a hotel room if I wanted but I didn't want to risk having some of the problems posted. So today I called and bought a bushtec turbo+2. I'm gonna head up there this Friday to pick it up and gonna take a couple days riding around in the Smokies while there. Thanks again for all the advice everybody.

That's what I've heard about their service. I just got finished packing all the electric gear. It is suppose to be in the lower 20's in the morning on Saturday so I'll definitely need them .....Should be a fun trip.

Yeah the main reason I am getting the trailer is because I want to do some motorcycle camping with my boys. They are gonna be 9 next year and I would like to spend some time with them on the bike and doing some camping. They are really looking forward to it. I imagine we'll pick some places within a couple hundred miles for the first few trips but hopefully we will be able to expand that as they get more experienced.

J&P has this neat adapter. You don't have to screw with the factory wiring. Just disconnect the cable under the seat and insert this one. J&P p/n 300-077. jpcycles.com

bushtec has a plug and play adapter as well. They charge a few dollars more for it but I think it's worth it. Thanks.

That is good. Putting stuff in the trailer is so much easier than hanging it all over the bike.
