Unique Trailer Sparks Campground Curiosity

Wes & Ann Green from Noblesville, Indiana pulled into camp today towing this behind their Itasca Winnebago Class C motorhome. Naturally I’m thinking, “What in the world is that thing?” Turns out it’s a motorcycle trailer made by “Toy Carrier” and runs about $3,050.00. Empty it weighs 683 pounds with a payload capacity of 1450 pounds. For security it has a key lock for the clamshell cover. Here is the link: Toy Carrier Trailers Wes has been riding motorcycles for over 40 years and loves to take his Honda GoldWing touring. He and Ann just use the RV for a home base while they take the bike out for day trips. The nice thing about this trailer is that the cover is made of plastic and is very tough. The company claims it won’t corrode or stress crack and is stronger than fiberglass and aluminum covers. It has an easy scissor lift system that you can operate with one hand.
A center wheel holder helps stabilize the bike on the trailer while the bike is tied down with cargo straps. Toy Carrier is also coming out with a double bike trailer soon.Wes, Ann and Sophie their Blue Merle Collie enjoy the RV lifestyle and we enjoyed meeting them.

  • That's one way, but not the best way. What do you do when it's raining, or cold, and you have to get groceries, or want to sight see, or want to go for a ride with your best friend, no not your wife. That great looking dog in your picture. I too went and researched every way under the blue sky on how I could take my FLHTCUI (Harley touring scoot)with us. I have found one of the best ways is to tote it in the back of my Chevy Silverado 1500 w/auto trannie and 4 wheel drive. I use aluminum ramps 10ft long that fold to 5ft and stow along side the motorcycle. I do have the best of both worlds. And I can take my two retired greyhounds for a ride if I want.
