I've had two Bushtec trailers. Pull very easy. No issues. Look good. Would buy another if something happened to the one I have now. Current trailer is the Roadstar

I have a 2005 Escapade that pulls nicely behind my trike.

I have only owned one, it's this Tailwind. Bought it in 06' and have over 30,000 miles towing it. Five trips over the ALCAN. There expensive, just like the bike.

Bushtec makes a nice unit, I found one used then ordered the hitch and wire harness from buschtec. Easy installation. Trailer pulls so nice I have to check to make sure it is still back there.

Yeah I think I'm going with the bushtec. Everyone I've talked to that has one loves them & say customer service is one of the best out there to deal with. Thanks for the replies

I took a ride to see a Tailwind for myself this last Friday and all I can say is you owe it to yourself to check the Tailwind out before you buy anything else... Awesome is not strong enough to describe the quality and plush suspension of this trailer.

My sentiments exactly, but like I did, everyone has to do there own research and keep with in there budget. I know for me, that I have the best trailer available.
