It is SAD that some people forget that Force=MASS x Acceleration. No amount of wind overcomes that FACT! The wind is additive, not alternative. If you always get 9.4 mpg then wind is NOT the...

The wind resistance MAY be the most significant factor in fuel consumption, but total weight is additive to that - wind resistance does NOT overcome mass!

I travel with a few gallons in there - but water=weight (8lb/gallon), and weight=fuel consumption!

I figure if the place I am going has water, why pay to haul my own?

I think you will find that many States have a rule that states the left lane is a "passing" lane, and to move right if you are not passing. On 3-lane roads you can stay in the center lane, but only...

Crash - you will find that those "bumper carriers" can only be installed on a very limited number of vehicles, especially if you want to carry a 600+lb motorcycle. The rear of a 5er is simply not...

I keep it to a max of 65 - that way the speed differential with trucks in a 70 limit is not too big.

One thing I learned a couple of years ago is that, in many states, a vehicle towing a trailer...

That's good! I don't know if I bought a different model, or just that it was a couple of years ago, but my Maxxairs had self-tapping screws and galvanised nuts/bolts!

Two 6v batteries should be wired in series to give 12v. As noted, if one goes bad you will not have 12v available. If you go for two 12v batteries, they are wired in parallel and if one goes bad...

JRTJH is correct - but you should be looking for 13 - 14 volts at the battery from the charger. At 12v it will not fully charge the battery.

Before I bought the 5er, we had a Class C and towed the motorcycle on a "Porta-Chopper" trailer - with 8" wheels! Did thousands of miles at 65+ mph and never had a wheel bearing get more than warm!

Swivel Wheel Trailer

I would like to take my motorcycle with us on camping trips, but hate the idea of a double-trailer, even more since it is not legal in many states. So I am thinking about a swivel wheel trailer...
