Camping With Motorcycle Camping Trailers
from: TRBMotorcycle riders are a special kind of camper. They prefer to ride the road and feel the wind on their face rather than being cooped up in an enclosed vehicle. While many motorcycles allow for some storage space, motorcycles are definitely a way to travel light.
If you are a motorcycle rider who has been hauling traditional tents or camping gear around on your bike, you haven't seen all the possibilities of motorcycle travel. Motorcycle camping trailers let you take the convenience of a trailer without losing the freedom that comes from travelling on a bike.
Motorcycle camping trailers are essentially a tent in a box. The box opens up and the tent pops up out of the box and unfolds into a camper that is roomy enough for two or more people to sleep comfortably. Depending on the style, motorcycle camping trailers can even have inflatable mattresses.
Many models have additional pieces that you can attach in order to provide even more living space. The additional pieces include things such as tables or screened in porch areas. One of the nicest features of motorcycle camping trailers is that the sleeping space, as well as some of the additional living space, depending on the model, is kept clean and dry above the ground.
You can customize motorcycle camping trailers by adding a number of features when you order it. If you prefer the creature comforts, the trailer can be designed with an air vent that will let the cool air from a portable air conditioner. You can add a cooler package, which in some models actually sits just behind the hitch, so you can keep your food and beverages fresh and cool and easy to access. If you want some shade where you camp, awnings are often available so you can set up some shaded outdoor space.
Many motorcycle camping trailers have both internal storage space as well as a luggage rack that can hold additional equipment or gear. Of course you can customize other features such as color, style, and hubcabs or rims on your trailer to make it fit in with the style of your bike.
The weight of motorcycle camping trailers is an important consideration. You will need to know what weight your bike can safely tow. Then you will want to consider the weight of the rider or riders, the weight of the motorcycle camper trailers you are considering, and the weight of the gear you want to haul. The additional weight will change your gas consumption, so you will have to calculate that into your trip costs.
