Nomads and Trailers

emu · 12-28-2008, 09:05 AM

Is there any chance that we could get a sub forum set up to cover trailering with a Nomad? I pull a Leesurelite camper with my 03 1500 Nomad. This past season was the maiden voyage for this setup. Toured over 18,000 miles in four and a half months with the camper in tow. During my travels I saw two other Nomads with the same rig as mine and met a guy with a 1600 and Bunkhouse setup at the Sturgis Rally.

So I was thinking if there are enough of us Nomaders here there might be an interest for a sub forum to discuss problems and good times specifically related to the Nomad.

Come Spring I'm off again for five months or so ... No major plans as to where ... the wind will let me know as I go.

Emu, I have a Bunkhouse trailer and will be making a HF home made. I know there are others on here that have trailers.

Trip? Could this be a sub board on the mechanical side of things?

Yes ... Some one has to do it ...

Coacha, I know the Bunkhouse dry weight is more than the Leesurelite ... what is the total weight when loaded down with all your gear and how does your Nomad handle when towing?

I noticed I had to rethink my riding a little when towing.

Having immersed myself in the subject this past summer, I'd like to see a trailering section here.

I like to see that also, I have been hesitant to get a trailer after the discussions about the clutch springs and such. A trailer forum would help a lot of people thinking about doing it I think.

I agree with getting a sub board. I'm just about finished with my HF trailer and would like to hear about pitfalls people find with pulling the trailer, where they take them, lessons learned and maybe more info on customizing the trailers.

I vote YES.

Hey Mike, you are just down the road from me.

You do know that you will subjecting yourselves to terrible insults and jokes if you get labeled as "trailer people".

I can see it now...you will want your own calendar with Tonya Harding as your pinup girl.

Good Luck...I vote we have a Trailer Park as well....but skirting is required and you are limited to only one broken down Harley and two appliances in your sig pic + you can only marry one relative at a time.
