Here is what I am going with. So I can stay with the light traveling of a tent and stay off the ground and more comfortable. If you just want to get off the ground I think it is worth a try. Going to Daytona and I will be camping and using this cot and a sleeping bag. Can easily carry Bag, tent, and cot on my Street glide. Just a thought for ya.

saw 2 bikes both pulling campers dont know what make one was bigger than the other they looked to big for me to want to pull but they both swore by em said they werent bad and they were aved campers so for them it was worth it.and they were both 2 up and loaded with gear.
Pulled a Time Out for fifteen years on two different EVO Tour Glides .. Loaded down with me an Sweetie , the saddlebags and tour pak full , and the camper full , you can store a lot in it when its collapsed .. Got 38 mpg running 70-80 mph , normal was about 42 mpg without the camper ..
The second TG pulled it quite a bit with the European Pulley in the rear .. 61 tooth vs 70 tooth .. Other than having to slip the clutch a bit to get 'er rolling never a problem on the road .. The only time I really noticed the weight is slow speed parking lot maneuvers ..
Do Not neglect the tires or bearing buddies , I carried a small grease gun and checked the bearings at every stop ..
However if the caca comes down on the road you're screwed ..
