Wife from two wheels, then sidecar, then trike. So when she had to give that up, we bought a toyhauler. If she having a good day she may ride with me. If not, we have the truck. And for our longer trips, we have two vehicles! Woohoo!!

Lucky you!

I can't "bribe" my wife into ANY type of RV and I've suggested everything from a pop-up camper to a Class A motorhome!

She goes on trips with me, sometimes in the truck pulling our bikes in the trailer and sometimes she either rides with me and sometimes she rides her own bike, and sometimes she flies and meets me at a chosen airport (for long trips) but no way in Hades would she sleep in anything less convenient than a Comfort or Holiday Inn!

I'm past the age for "camping" in a tent or "under the stars" but a toy-hauler would work for me but I just can't justify the cost (to me) of spending that much money on something that I

2amguy-- I totally get that. We have always had a camper of some kind, even growing up with mom and dad.
My wife was never really fond of it, always says it was too much work. I do everything I can to take the work loads of getting ready, cooking etc.
But now she seems to be so much more enthusiastic about going on a trip. Maybe this camper is more comfortable.
Anyway, got a nice 4 hour ride in this morning before the rain came lol!
Nap time.

Haha I'd normally agree if I hadn't spent the last month fixing all the multiple issues with this one.. but I know what you mean.

Default Might I suggest


Motorcycle secure bar for chain & your front wheel.

Motorcycle secure bar for chain & your front wheel. Underneath

I have a few E Z Ups and you can buy all kinds of walls. They even make them for camping. This makes a great kitchen, out door eating porch w/collapsible pick-nick table than a waterproof garage, Buy 2 and you can have a guest house or their own kids house. These are small, easy to set up and cheap.

Great idea!!! Thanks for that. I will have to figure out something similar on this trailer.
Currently I've been parking just under the awning, with a cover on the bike. It's been a rainy night every night so far on our late in the season trip.
