Title: Camper Trailer options?
Post by: missk8t on September 04, 2011, 07:31:19 PM
Hey All,

I'm thinkin about getting a camper later on and was wondering whether anyone has one and what they think? Pics would be great but any info would be fantastic.

Cheers,
K8

You want a trailer that folds out into a tent? Or a trailer to carry gear in?

Here is some companies

I met 3 Goldwings in Cobar earlier this year and all three were towing trailers.  The first was a fold out camper trailer which when fully erected was "cosy".  The second was just a regular trailer with a tent.  Lastly the third was also a trailer and tent but the kicker was that the body of the trailer was a row boat which I thought was a cool idea as it could still be used as a boat.

http://www.timeouttrailers.org has some really nice ones. I don't know where you're at, but if you're in the USA, they're built in Indiana.
