Default 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.

Default 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 have a Bushtec and love it. Pull it behind both my 01 GL1800 Wing and our 07 GL1800 Hannigan Trike.

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.

Default 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.

Default 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.

We have the Color matched Escapade Elite. This is the second one I've had and would not trade for any other trailer.

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:

We have a Bushtec. and think its one great trailer. I put my wifes elec. 3 wheel scooter in the bottom for long trips, and have plenty of room for all our gear.
We pulled it 12,000 mi last summer.
