I have an American Legend. They are a bit expensive. But if you are talking about Alaska you are going to see some rough roads. I would avoid leaf springs and at least get a trailer with torsion bar suspension, 12" wheels, and a heavy duty welded steel frame. I think you might live to regret a lightweight bolted frame and little tires.

I also have a Hitch Doc but they have been claiming they are coming out with new hitches for bumperless Harleys and the new models for over a year. So far they haven't come out with anything new and the hitch they made for Street Glides doesn't fit without some serious cutting and grinding unless they have fixed it. I hope they deliver on their claims soon.

I'VE OWNE A time-out Dart, Neosho Starlite and now a Bushtec Quantum GL....
each one did their job quite well....but the Bushtec is by far the best..holds a ton, never know it's back there...
be pulling a trailer since 95...couple of things.
Swivel hitch.....
watch cooler weight
don't over load it
most of the weight towards the front to keep dog waggle away...
I would not leave home without mine...love it.

I pulled a Kwik Kamp trailer for 14 years putting about 12K a year on it without a problem. Except for the year my wife decided she need to pack everything plus the kitchen sink! We were riding a Goldwing then. I sold it when I sold the Goldwing.
We went back to just tent camping and that is why I built the HF trailer, just to carry camping gear. I pulled 5 times with the softy and didn't know it was back there. I did have the 95 kit in the softy though. I am yet to pull it with the Ultra as I haven't ordered the hitch yet. I need to sell the softy hitch first.....LOL. Spent all my budget on the other needed things......you know stage 1, heat shields, windshield bag, etc, etc.
