Default Seeking Info - Popup Campers for Touring

I'm planning a cross country trip this spring/summer. I'm considering a popup style camper designed for motorcycles. Does anyone have any first hand experience with these? Good/bad brands, things to look out for. I've camped for many years, 1st in tents and for many years now in RVs but no experience with these. All info appreciated.

I think the first item I would check is that if pulling a trailer can effect the warranty. This issue became a problem for my Buddy when he took his Ultra into the dealership
and he ended up making phone calls to the factory to finally get his repairs under warranty.

I'm out of warranty; have 40K on this 2008 purchased in July of 07. I will need to add an oil cooler and swivel hitch, other than that I think the bike is good to go, it already has the 103 stage 3 and she runs good.

I think it was on this forum. Some guy had a pop up that turned into a 2 story condo with ac and a jacuzzi.

I owned a Leesure Lite for a couple of years. Sets up in less than 15 seconds. We loved ours, it was well designed, well made and towed well at interstate speeds (80-85 mph).

Be extremely safety conscious pulling a pop-up camper.
