Bought a motorcycle Tent Trailer
« on: January 13, 2011, 10:43:45 PM »

I had been looking at units similar to these on and off for a while.  One day last week I found this advertised on Kijiji...only 5 km from my house.  It is made in Denmark, weights less that 260 pounds, made from AC aluminum.  It sleeps two.  It has been to California twice, the Atlantic coast, and the arctic circle twice as well.  From the time my butt is out of the seat till i am under cover is less than 20 seconds.  You sleep off the ground, has usable luggage areas.  New the unit is worth $8000, a fiberglass copy from Leesure-lite is $5400... and I paid $1400.  Getting it painted to match the Road Glide.  It was pulled by a 80's 4 cyl Goldwing 1200 with no problems, so I suspect mine will have no problems with it

Now to start planning some trips to visit all my American Cousins

is the standup shower and galley kitchen in another room?  :P

Those are perfect for the long trips to keep expenses down.  I could see myself doing it once, perhaps twice.  I'm looking for a hot shower or swimming pool at the end of days ride now.  BYW, I had an 80's 1200 goldwing.  It had plenty of power to pull something like that.

I've thought about one of them.  I just don't think I'd like riding with a trailer behind me

I used to say that.  Then a respected friend said "I'd rather pull a trailer than ride with an overloaded suspension".  I bought an inexpensive (used) trailer (Cyclemate) and have pulled it for over 15K with a Moto Guzzi V11 Sport, an 07 Ultra, and now my SEUC5.  Hardly know its back there.

If you stay at KOA's (Campgrounds of America) you will have clean hot showers, swimming pool, laundry and a country store. This is a great way to travel and meet nice folks while your at it. Great find and if you find yourself in SoCal we always have a cold one ready, enjoy.  Doc
