I take it you are talking about a 1 wheel trailer. :nixweiss:

Had a N-line trailer. Pulled great...didn't affect mileage any

I think they would tow great but, I also would think the tonger weight would be hard to get right. I like my American Legend, easy to tow and pack.

Have a buddy who owns one.  The best part is you can disconnect it and take it into your motel room without having to unpack.  At least when on the ground floor.  Otherwise, very small compared to two wheel trailers.  It really depends on your needs.

I have been pulling a trailer for about 20 years, I no longer do since HD is such a pain in the a%$ regarding trailers and warrenty issures, so I decided to sell my bushtec, shich is STILL in the way in my garage.  I know 2 guys with those single wheel units, I've never heard a bad thing about them.  Smaller than some other rigs but dang effective for what they are designed to do.  Should I decide to risk my warrenty (ESP) thats the rig I'll get.  Just my opinion.

Have a N-Line, it holds plenty and WOULD not fit in a motel room(maybe a suite). Pulls like a dream....but I have never pulled a Bush Tec.

Saw an N-Line (wasn't yet but was later painted to match an 05 SEEG) inside a motel room at Maggie Valley several years ago.  Saw the then new owner bring it in and out a couple times that week.

We tow one all the time, 3 years now.  Small but enough additional space to be perfect.  70lbs empty, max weight we have ever had in it was 130lbs.  We unhook it & take it right into the room, up the elevator.  Get some looks sometimes but I just say it's my suitcase... Doesn't your suitcase have wheels also?  You don't even know it is there.

Do they make a hitch that would fit a 2009 SERG?

In my 2 pictures, my 06 CVO is using the hitch made by UniGo, it is ugly but works well. 

The other picture, our 09 Ultra, with a complet Street Glide Rear fender (courtesy of JCZ & TerrieZ), complete with Facia has an NLine Hitch.  Unigo decided not to build a hitch for the new frame & recommends the NLine hitch since they are both single wheel trailers.  It is almost hidden & works very well.

Check with NLine for the 09 SERG
