motels are not the first choice. They all seem creepy ; someone elses bugs for me.

When you camp you get the world's bugs.

I thought I wanted a hardtop camper until I camped next to a Roll a home in a campground with slanted sites. The guy spent more time blocking the top to get it level and worrying about scratching the luggage rack than you would believe. He even carried blocks with him for this. It seems to me that if you didn't get it right you might bend or brake the hinge. The soft travel cover is nice because it does not scratch and on the Aspen there is a big pocket that you can store things without opening the trailer up.

Must be a real strain to pull behind your bike....

The post is about bike campers

So one would need to use campground restrooms and showers or crap in the woods and not take a shower

neither sounds good to me

For $7000 there are a lot of nice super comfy hotel rooms out there! :lol:

That may be a true statement, but all those who love camping know there is something relaxing about it.

My wife and I have the Aspen and really love it. There is just a few cubic feet more of storage in the Aspen over the Bunkhouse. But either one sets up in about the same time. The Aspen has a full frame and is supposed to carry the weight better. I like the idea that the stands are on the frame on the 4 corners. It's very stable when it's set up and easy to level.

I bought mine with the electric brakes, and have them set with just a light breaking. It's enough to take the push out of the trailer and doesn't feel like it's pulling the bike back when stopping. I also have them set to advance slowly to the full braking at about 3 seconds. This keeps it from feeling like it grabs.

If you do order one, get the air conditioner option, even if you aren't going to get one right away. Then later, you can go buy one of the little $98 window units at Sam's or Costco. It's just enough to take the heat and humidity out on the hot summer nights. You'll be glad you did. They're small enough to easily store in the trailer.

No Brakes?

I have no experience with either. However, I do see an electric brake option is available. From what I've heard, do not get that option if towing with a m/c.

Greg, why would you make such a statement? With the correct brake controller and the braking action properly set braking done by the trailer is minimal. One certainly does not want the trailer to have more brake control than the bike, just enough to help ease the braking load for a sudden stop. A 500-600 pound trailer could be a real issue if a panic stop is needed, and brakes(again, properly adjusted) help reduce the "pucker factor."

Which brings me to another thought...The Poster also needs to be very conscious of the LOADED weight of any trailer he decides to purchase...not just the AMOUNT of load the trailer can carry. It is very easy when starting to load such things as Generators, Air Conditioners and other "must have" camping items to run up a 600 pound towing/stopping load quickly.

If memory serves me correctly, the RAH with the slideout bed is the heavier of about all the campers, someplace near 400 pounds empty. The Aspen Classic, with brakes, is about 350 lbs., without brakes--320 or so. I do have brakes on my Classic and have no issues with them affecting bike control. But they do need to be properly adjusted.

After looking at the Bunkhouse, Rollahome and Aspen campers for a long time I bought a Aspen Classic because it was the right fit for what I wanted and what I thought the best price for what I got. I got it with the brake option and I am glad that I did. I did not think it mattered much until I tried pulling it without brakes and it made a difference.

Congratulations on the Aspen, you'll really like it. And, with the brakes properly set you will really appreciate those as well.

Happy Camping.
