Pull behind trailer

[Pallet Man]

I'm looking to purchase a trailer to pull behind my 2018 GL 1800 DCT Tour with a CSC Encore. Does anyone have suggestions on which ones to buy or which ones to stay away from. Right now I'm looking at a Black Hawk made in Greenville South Carolina. I like the ones made by CSC but think they are a little pricey.

I've said it may times.

You can buy a fancier trailer but you wont buy a better trailer than an Aluma.

I've been pulling the MCT for 15 years Changed the tires once because of age. They still had plenty of tread.

The MCTXL is the same just a little larger.

The CSC Escapade Trailer is the best fiberglass trailer you can buy for the money and worth ever penny. When compared to the Bushtec Trailers, which I am a long time dealer and owner of, the CSC Excel is the better value in my opinion. Like the Bushtec, they come standard with independent suspension but unlike Bushtec, they have a round molded spare tire well in the bottom of the compartment with a carpeted rigid cover/lid that drops in over the opening so you retain the flat bottom. The design, fit and finish is outstanding.

Why not save money. Get a small trailer from your local Tractor Store and a Car Topper. Mount the Topper to the trailer. There are many different types of Car Toppers to chose from.

I made mine in 1982. Still using it.

We have a CSC Escapade LE trailer and love it. Pulls easy and hauls everything we need on a trip with room to spare.

I took motorcycle mikes advice and got the Aluma. I love it.

And the contrasting, NOT matched to trike, colors make it more obvious to anyone approaching from behind either in traffic or at a stop light that your are pulling a trailer that is between them and that trike! Nicely done.

I sprung for the Bushtec Quantum in case I needed to stop at the store and get some eggs.



Contrasting colors? Safety Yellow is more of an eye attention getter, when riding. Other vehicles should be alerted to me with my trailer behind me. The mismatch has never bothered me, because of the safety factor.

I heard its so hot in Texas that the hens are laying hard-boiled eggs so there isn't any a need for soft sprung trailers ..:Shrug:.........

Better watch out talking about our hens and their aigs; ‘Cluck Norris’ will get you! LOL

I was looking at getting an Aluma, but this bright “scrambled egg yellow” Bushtec came along, so I got it. I also considered a Tailwind trailer. There are a lot of good trailers out there. You just pick the “flavor” that fits your pocket book.

Very nice trailer you have there.............. I did the same and not buy a expensive trailer, cause I really only use it once or twice a season, honestly at the most...

Bought the ALUMA, pulls very good and rock steady at speed.

I have been wondering about finding a trunk, fenders, and a tour pack and making a trailer out of the parts. Thinking that after some fabrication, the ice chest could be built into the front of the trunk box. Would have to build a frame and axle setup for it. Just thinking about it being unique with a trike pulling it. (Don’t want to “void” my warranty on the new trike, so I will wait a while before deciding whether to build one or not.

It is just an idea for now.
