What Trailers do we have and Pull
I have and use the heck out of a Piggy Backer. The best bang for the buck on the market. It is not a pretty trailer but very functional. I regurlary overload it to the tune of 500 + Lbs,  and have had no problems with it, either behind the old GL1200, or the Trike.
I also have a Time Out Camper that I use to camp.

trailer
I pull an ALUMA MCT all aluminum trailer. I like that its very light weight (less than 200lbs) is well built and very tough, has a 5 year warranty, and will match any bike I have. I have the polished diamond plate model, but they also come in all colors.

I have an older escapade, the shorty model. It's currently white but having it painted to match the bike is part of the plan, as funds allow.

I think I need to be sure and not let my wife get to close to your bike or Harry's. 500 LB's of stuff, and big blue rooms. I have her convienced that she needs to be happy with the fact that since I don't take shoes and socks with me, and all my pants are shorts, she has all the "extra" space on the bike she needs! I'm getting nervious about this Texas trip I think.

Trailer
We have the Escapae and have been very happy with it. We call it Cathy's shopping cart, as she got it because I would always tell her we could not buy anything because we had no where to put it.

Trailer
We have a Aluma MCTXL, which serves 2 purposes for us. It is the only trailer we found that my wifes mobility cart will fit in and we use it to haul STUFF! Great little trailer, we also have the diamond plate so it matches the Prius or TriCar or whatever else it is behind. We have even pulled it with the RV, yes we do get some strange looks with it behind the RV.

TJ- The Alumas are very well constructed and I personally like the way they look and they tow great. The polished diamond plate is my favorite as it will complement any color trike and will do so if you ever make a color change. It is also available in a smooth all polished aluminum skin model which looks sharp. They have a luggage rack on top and a cooler carrier and LED lighting. Hard to beat them at 1/2 the price of most of high quality fiberglass trailers.

We pull a Bunkhouse camper. Had an old Time Out, the kind before they made it mostly a pop-up. It was basically an unbrella tent set on a platform, a good camper, never leaked and went through some high winds, but the thing took a half hour to set up. Looked at a lot of campers and went for the Bunkhouse for the large living area and a near-king size bed, not to mention quick set up time.

We tow a '02 CSC Escapade Elite. We rolled that trailer some 45,000 miles with the Yellow Wing from March '02 to Dec '04 (33 months). We painted it to match the '05 Wing in Feb '05 and rolled a little more than 10,000 more to date. That trailer has served us very well.
The rig still turns heads as we tour the country. Sometimes, it's a pain in the butt, as we are in a hurry to pump fuel and roll, but bystanders come up and have a thousand questions they demand answers to. Gotta be nice...right...??
Here's a pic:

Check back on the 2nd page of this thread. I think this is what Adventure Trikes sales???
Also Check with Bazooka, he might be able to give U some insight on them.

Cycle Mate 2000 for me. Plenty of room for suit cases, lawn chairs, cooler, etc. Certainly not the most aero-dynamic trailer out there, but a lot of trailer for the money.
I bought it from a guy that bought it new at Honda Homecoming a few years ago, hauled it home is his pickup truck and never used it. It was the "cream" color. At the time I had a pearl white '93 Goldwing Motor Trike, so I paid a guy $350 to paint it to match the bike. Also put some chrome wheels on it. Then a year later, I sold the '93 and bought my silver '05. I used the trailer one week last summer, so haven't coughed up the money to paint it again............yet!

Lees-ure Lite Tent Trailers
Hello,
Has anyone seen the Lees-ure lite trailer? The Lehman dealer in Portland has them and they do seem to set up in about 8 seconds with a 54" bed. Also,they appear well made and weigh 250# for the large model.

Re: What Trailers do we have and Pull
Ride a Stallion and tow a Bushtec Turbo + 2. The Bushtec is a 1997 model with over 45,000 miles on it and I still love it. Sometimes literally forget its back there. Great little trailer.

Re: What Trailers do we have and Pull
I also fix a bak-rak to the tow ball. This can carry a vast amount and I have used it on many occassions with ease. If you want to see what it is just type bak-rak and see what it is I am on about.

Re: What Trailers do we have and Pull
I have a Bunkhouse camper which I pull with the CSC trike. We love the camper, find it meets our needs both in interior room, ease of setup/take down and comfort for sleep. I also don't know it's back there when towing except when having to stop suddenly from highway speed.
Not sure of the impact on the 1800 clutch. It is heavier then most trailers so may place more wear on clutch/transmission. Only time will tell.

Re: What Trailers do we have and Pull
I have a CycleMate that I have been pulling behind my bikes. It was originally white when I purchased it , then I added oak slats and oak bumper and color matched it to last 3 bikes. Great little trailer, don.t use it that often though.

Re: What Trailers do we have and Pull
Does anyone know if the 800cc 07 Suzuki/Lehman Tramp conversion is capable of towing a trailer? I'm thinking of one of the small cargo trailers - I'm just not a camping person.

Re: What Trailers do we have and Pull
Well my 1100 Honda Goldwing could do it NO SWEAT . That was a much heavier motorcycle . Look into a Forest River Pod . Very inexpensive very large but light. If you don't load it with 500lb of stuff (Indian jewelry don't weigh much ) I see no problem/ also an other avenue would be the Piggy Backer. Fairly light an inexpensive.

Mattel, In N.C. you do have to run tags. It is only about $10 per year. I do not remember want the title and registration cost are.

Re: What Trailers do we have and Pull
Trailers in MA must be registered ($20 new, $25 annual renewal) and inspected (didn't know that one!). If it's under 3000lbs, it does not need to be titled.
