1. Best Enclosed Motorcycle Camping Trailers
Home on Wheels
For USD 2500 to USD 4300, you can have your very own camping trailer, that can effectively serve
as your mobile home.
A motorcycle, for many, is a ticket to freedom. Unlike a car, a motorcycle gives you a real and much
more live feel of a trip, with the road whizzing past, inches from your feet.
Motorcycle camping trailers have made the life of a biker even easier. Now, one doesn't have to
worry about finding motels or finding a place to change or to camp. The trailer technology solves all
your bedding and camping problems. A modern trailer is a small, compact, wheeled capsule,
attached to your bike, designed to hold all that you want to take along on a long bike trip. It is
optimally designed to be as light as possible, to reduce the impact on mileage.
Man's innate desire, inherited from nomadic ancestors perhaps, is to travel. The modern nomad
moves around on a gasoline-powered motorbike, with his own small caravan, a camping trailer
attached behind. A bike journey is a nice way to sit and contemplate life, with the world whizzing
past you. Besides acquainting you with the features offered by modern trailers, we present and
review some of the best brands, that provide customized trailers.
A Buying Guide
These trailers can now be custom-made and tailored to your needs and taste. They are designed to
be comfortably pulled by any mid-range bike. All standard trailers come with a 'pop-up' type of tent,
which can be easily set up, along with cozy expandable air mattresses. They are perfectly affordable
and are not as costly as a caravan truck.
They can be used as campers and trailers or just trailers. If you don't plan to camp on the outskirts,
and need the trailer only as a storage vehicle, then the camping equipment can be removed. You can
then have ample space for storage.
If you are a couple, traveling through the countryside, a camping trailer with a motorbike, is just
what you need. You may need to make some modifications in your bike to link the trailer with it. The
trailer body is usually designed with aluminum, which makes it light. Some use a fiberglass body,
and on the inside, have a vinyl coating. They are usually fixed with two wheels, which are designed
for long travel and tough terrain.
Before you buy a trailer, check the wheels and overall fittings. The price range of these trailers
extends from USD 2500 to USD 4300 and above. Most companies ship them directly, to your home
address.
Test drive a demo trailer, if available. It's important to know whether you can maintain a decent
speed on your bike, with the trailer fully loaded. So check the overall weight of the trailer and the
maximum loading capacity, as well as its storage volume. Usually, none of them have a problem, but
it's always better to check and be satisfied. They are usually around 7 to 11 feet long and weigh

2. around 250 to 500 pounds. Both these specifications may vary, according to the design you go for.
Companies offer a lot of variety in all the features.
To hitch the trailer to your bike, you need an appropriate connecting mechanism, which is mostly
provided with it or in some rare cases, you may need to make arrangements. The most important
and useful part is the tent and bedding. Once you reach your destination, just detach your camping
trailer from the bike, prop up your tent, and you are all set.
The tent is generally made up of water-resistant and fireproof material. Poles are provided to grant
structural solidity. Once the framework is in place, you just pull on the tent fabric over and create
your very own cozy tent.
The tent is equipped with a zipped door and windows. You can set up the inflatable mattresses,
designed to accommodate two people comfortably. The manufacturing companies provide a detailed
setup manual for these trailers and you can ask for a live demonstration too, from the company.
Nowadays, online videos are provided that explain the setup in detail.
There are additional attachments and tent material to set up an additional room, if you want. A
folded table and chair are also provided. All this gives you enough room for changing and sleeping.
You can carry water bottles and all other necessary things, as the trailer has adequate extra storage
space. It's always

driving. Check air pressure and inflate tires to pre-specified pressure levels. Additional safety chains

appropriate harness attached with the proper locking mechanism, in the hitch that connects the bike
to the trailer.
