Hey I'm thinking the Rocket could easily tow one of these... Aussieteardrop trailer

Seen one behind a trike! Thinking that as I am a RV / Caravan park owner it would be good for promotional purposes.

I've seen one trailer-towing Rocket and the guy said the hitch was custom-built. It was a Unigo (one-wheeler that leans with the bike which would be my pick if I needed one--IMO if a solo rider needs a trailer he's taking too much stuff). There are a couple of outfits on the internet that fabricate hitches, surely not cheap though.

I prefer hotels, room service, a nice relaxing jacuzzi, and a good video......... :-D :-D

I used to love camping till I stared seeing all the homeless people downtown and realized that camping is just recreational homelessness... :wink:

Guess you have a point there. Difference is the homeless don't get to choose the ideal season and scenery to do it in, of course. I stay at room service hotels travelling on business but use small mom-&-pop motels on bike roadtrips. They're always reasonable, usually clean, convenient to park at, and bike-friendly (most of them anyway). The locations are often well off the beaten path, away from resort-area anthills of cage traffic, which I like too.

The Rocket may be able to tow the weight. I would be afraid of a windy day.

The Rocket can definately tow the weight. That is until you put all your stuff in it. Steve, you mention "for promotional use". Do you intend to put a lot of promotional weight inside? The problem you might run into is the excess weight on the tongue. We pull two differant trailers. One is from Wags. http://www.wagstrailers.com/default.asp. And the other I think is a camping trailer from Leisure Light. I might have the spelling wrong but here is a link to see what they look like. http://www.compacttrailers.com/

We use the wags one for shopping trips to big city for Sams and Wally World. The camping one obviously is for when we are in a spot more than one night while traveling. In both we put a lot of stuff. But I know that with the camping trailer we watch the weight pretty close. When in tow, both trailers pull so good you have to remind yourself they are there.

I'm seriously thinking of getting another Rocket... This one a TRIKE conversion and then the TEARDROP caravan trailer. Have them painted up in my company logo's and colors... Would look great plus a lot of fun!... Would have to keep the Red one though cause she's my baby! :razz:
