I did a lot of research before I bought my Bushtec. I like the light weight,
125 lbs, and the volume 26 cu/ft. I have the Quantum and love it.
I see now they are running some special, $250 off some stock models.
I also know, Ron's Power Sports, in Nebraska is dealing, if you push!!
Ron's is the largest Bushtec dealer, you can find him on the Bushtec website.

I don't know about the rest of you, but my BH FILLS the trailer, I mean
FILLS IT! 26 cu/ft is not enough sometimes!!!

Thanks for all the feedback. I had a discussion with American Legends today. Wouldn't you know it they are just finishing up a customer order with matching paint to the Hot Citrus and Burnt Amber 2010 CVO. He said that was one intricate, and expensive, paint job. The pictures he sent of the painted parts looked great.

I purchased my Bushtec thru Ron's Power Sports.  Easy to deal with - smooth deal and great price...  :2vrolijk_21:

All right!  Glad you found the problem because you should not have to adjust it that often.  Seems like I always do have to add some air the first or second day out for some reason even though I check everything after I initially load it.  But after that I'm pretty much good to go with no further attention.

I did that every night after a long day and one night in the Redwoods Matt (Screamin_Beagle) and I broke two pumps, blew up a shock, and flattened two tires...but I ain't say'n what we were smokin. :-\  Doc

We have the Bushtec Quantum Sport and absolutely love it. Pulls great and has lots of capacity. The wife can still fill it up though. Originally didn't think we'd ever need a trailer, now don't think we could do without it...

Bushtec does a really good job on paint matching the CVOs.

This is what I pull, it's a Sarasota trailer built by "Built Rite Trailers"

Can hardly tell it's back there...............but as stated before increase your stopping distance. 17.2 cu ft

I have done that too, but you can't tour and do it. You have to homestead somewhere for a few days.

I like hauling the trailer, and the wife won't let me leave home without it. If her blow-dryer goes so does the trailer. :nixweiss:

hehehe.... o.k. - o.k. ... uncle....  ::)

I spent some time today looking at the tubing that connects to the air shocks on my Bushtec...and I found a small leak at a fitting...and I fixed it.  Now I can probably say I don't need to add air each day also!   :2vrolijk_21:

24 hours later and the gage hasn't moved...still holding pressure right where I put it... :nervous:  I guess I should have fixed this about a year ago!   ::)

Nice looking rig, did Bushtec paint the trailer?
