Motor Cycle tent trailers?

[Chile Chef]

Well guys and gals it looks like I might actully get a vehicle that could possible tow a motorcycle camper trailer.

I'm thinking about getting this little baby, http://www.amazon.com/150cc-Street-M...ef=pd_sbs_sg_1


And I was wondering if it could pull one of those motorcycle campers?

Well, I'm being serious Donny.

I'm planning on getting one those and a camping trailer, and I would like some input.

It does but all the roads here equal about 40-45 miles per hour in town, Some roads are 20-25 miles an hour so I will be just fine.

I know all the camping sites and most of the roads for the camping sites are roughly 40 miles an hour, I guess I could car camp.

150cc is mighty low-powered to be trying to tow anything. Even my KLR650 is really limited on the size and weight that it can handle. You would have an edge in braking, having those two front wheels, but the already limited speed would be even lower towing a load. Scooters are also VERY limited on off-pavement situations - they simply don't have the suspension for it. My scooter-riding buddies have a lot of trouble on dirt roads that are considered very smooth by us Dual Sport guys.

Here is what I pull behind my 2004 Goldwing, I still get 37 MPG and have a king size bed and AC at night. This is the best money I ever spent on camping.

Setup is less than 10 mins from stop to ready for bed. Has over 20 cubic feet of storage and an empty weight of just over 320 pounds, gives us 180 pounds that we can carry even at 500 pounds have tounge weight of 20 pounds.

Hmm.. Well I see it says engine horsepower is 10.5 HP. That's about like a large lawnmower engine. Compare that to roughly 118HP you would get in a Goldwing 1800 for instance.

The trailer idea is nice, but I would be skeptical about that go-cart's ability to move you and a loaded trailer at any decent speed, and you might end up burning up your clutch really fast. You might be better served trailering the cart behind your car, and use it to zoom around the camp roads during your stay.
