I pull an Escapade trailer behind my GL1500 CSC Trike. I'll soon be pulling it behind my GL 1800 Roadsmith.
I pull a aspen sentry camper behind bike and use to pull a bushtec cargo trailer. On long trips we like the extra space.
I pull a trailer behind the Stallion when we go on anything overnight or longer. I love the extra storage and can't even tell it's back there unless I look.
Trailers make the longer trips much easier. I have to remind myself it's back there some times. Only drawback that I can think of is that the wife likes to buy lots of stuff and fill it up.
I actually have two trailers I pull. One I've had for several years and it carries a LOT but it's also heavy when loaded (450 pounds) so I built this trailer to pull for short trips and solo camping runs... It's a little futuristic to compliment the Trike's design. :xszpv: :xszpv:

One of the trailers I like is the Bushtec Entourage. http://www.bushtec.com/inventory/v1...rage/2015-Base--Jacksboro-Tennessee---2470021
Another unit I'm looking at is the Hannigan Sierra. http://www.hannigantrikes.com/products/sierra-trailer/

Generic single wheel trailer. Very light.
Got to get it painted one day.

Bushtec makes a mighty fine trailer. Have you considered the Turbo+2 GT? I think it's lines would go with you trikes better then the Entourage and the usable space is better accessed.
But then again the Entourage would be easier to keep matched with a different trike should you ever change. All it would take is some paint...
I agree with Gold Rush on the Bushtec Turbo+2. Mine is not the GT model, but it is one fine trailer. No bounce, no wiggle and you will forget it's back there.

Hard to beat Harbor Freight Tag-Along. About $320 for a nice trailer that you will probably use half-dozen times a year.
Pulls nice and straight, can't tell it's there.

I totally agree, if you take long trips with your spouse, you have to have a trailer. I love my discovery trailer. Pulled it 2600 mies last June and it was fantastic.
I've been pulling this eagle ( made in Minnesota years ago) trailer for 35 years. It's just a car top carrier on wheels and it works great, doesn't stick out any wider than my fenders and I can nearly pick it up one handed.
Trailers like a dream. Have to keep checking mirrors to make sure its still there!! Co-Pilot loves the extra space.

That is a nice trailer,Bubba,but a 575lb dry weight w/90lb tongue is quite a bit more than I prefer for an aircooled trike.
I agree. I have an Aluma MCTXL. I've pulled it with two different two wheel Goldwings and now with a Goldwing/Roadsmith trike.

I agree. I've been pulling this one over 10 years and I don't know haw many thousands of miles. Couldn't be more pleased. You can spend more and get fancier, but you wont find a better trailer.
We have a Starlight Trailer. Like everybody says, don't know its back there. Made some extra rails for the top where I can Bungie down her push cart.

At first,I didn't really like their look but I'm starting to warm up to them.
Bought this trailer last year from US Trailer Store......weights in at 140 , all aluminum, 14 cu. ft of storage.... and as many others have said you don't know it's there unless you look in the mirror.
I have this one http://www.harborfreight.com/600-lb-capacity-78-inch-tag-along-trailer-66771.html after I repacked the wheel bearing and took one leaf out of each side it pulls like a dream used it going to Maggie valley and after 1200 mile at 70 MPH never knew it was back there unless I looked in the mirrors I got it for 300 Plus Tax. Ran in the rain for 3 hours and it was still dry when we go home

Doug,that is a very nice combo you have there. I've always wanted an Escapade.
Thanks Clint! We like it! CSC did an awesome job of matching it to our trike. It is a very spacious trailer. We usually end up carrying a few things for a few of our two-wheeled riding friends on trips since we have the room.

I have one and really like it. Maybe not as stylish as some others, but very well made and extremely functional. Very easy access, lots of room, easy to pull and easy to move by hand.

I'm on my 2nd Aluma. My First was an MCT. This one is an MCTXL.

Exactly my thoughts. I do not believe anyone can wear one out!
Yeah, I hear ya. Not as stylish as others. More on the functional side.
:Agree:
