If somebody gets bored in Southwest Colorado it's your own fault.

I mentioned that to somebody over the weekend......got the funniest looks from Babe. 

You guys have given me a list that's gonna brake the bank.....I'll not have any $ left for the next trip.....sorry I asked.      So I guess, after I get all the stuff listed above I tell her "sorry honey, you still only get the one saddle bag for your stuff".   

Good luck with that JC

[Rooster]

It's the other way around. Did you forget? if you have any room in your one saddlebag you might find extra stuff that isn't yours

I spent the day going through and making a list of what I need to carry in the trailer.  I got rid of all the duplicate items and reloaded my tool bags. I can get every thing including my cold weather gear in the trailer and keep the weight off of the bike. Ouray, here I come.

You forgot to attach the list.

I carry most of the items listed in the above post, I also carry a 2 ft. long 12X12 to set my trailer on also if I get a flat on the F350 or the trailer it can be used in a jack assist. I also bring my 20Amp Dewalt 3/4 drive impact wrench, I can change a tire in a few minutes with one of those.

EVERYTHING

JC, get you a good, small portable tool box.  Look over the bike and see what you feel comfortable working on while on the road and carry those tools in the box.  A good, compact air compressor is a must along with tire plugs and a small can of fix-o-flat (fix-o-flat is the last ditch option).  Extra set of spark plugs, a couple quarts of oil, extra headlight/tail light/turn signal bulbs if you aren't running LED's; tie wraps in various sizes, small can of WD-40, roll of shop paper towels, small bottle of waterless hand cleaner, a zip-lock bag with $100 and a pre-paid Visa....a must!
Again, carry things you feel you can use to work on the bike at the road side/rest area/hotel parking lot.  You can get most of these items in the tool box which can sit in the front (toward the tongue) of the trailer and pack around it.  It really doesn't take up that much room.
I was the pack mule on trips so I carried the tool items along with enough maintenance items for two/three bikes.  Still had plenty of room for clothes bags (ours and the other bike(s) ) with room to spare.

Camp Stove, propane cylinders, cooking pan, coffee pot, Kitchen stuff, extra blankets, pillows, Shower Tent, Zodi propane heated shower, 12x20 tarp with 5 poles, Ice Chest mounted on tongue. Portable propane heater. It is a pop up tent trailer. I know there is more in there. That is all I remember.

Sounds like a new bike is in order as well, this one pulling a trailer should handle everything suggested.

Dumb-azz me...didn't realize that many have the S&S T143 engine in their CVOs to haul so much gear.   

J/K, I load mine to the gunwales then put more on the cargo rack, and the bike pulls it fine.  Then again, that might be why I replace brake pads and tires every year.
