My tiny v nose motorcycle trailer.

Some of the photos and a YouTube channel I started. I got another year to go at my day job before I can afford to stay on the road full time.

Neat little project,

Have you camped in it Yet ?

I'm in Florida visiting my mother. been sleeping in it every night. And spent 2 nights at truck stops.

It's OK o pull at 45 but anything faster it weaves. One of the problems was the motorcycle hitch is a POS. 6 bolts hold it to the frame, but nothing to where the receiver is.
So it moves about a inch from side to side. With the trailer weaving the hitch amplified it to the front wheel. I fixed it by clamping it to the saddle bag struts. I don't pull it over 60. The tires and wheel bearings are cheep.

Weaving! Does your trailer have tongue weight when it is loaded? A trailer is like a dart or arrow. It needs weight in front of the wheels or it will want to turn around. Too many people load a trailer in the back with drastic results. A less common reason is the axle is misaligned. The hubs must make a perfect triangle with the coupler. This weave isn't near as bad.

Cool little trailer!

I figured out the cause was the crap hitch, but the other problem is it's height. On the interstates the tucks give me a ride side to side. The trailer weaves from the draft of tractor trailers. Because I'm doing 60 to 65, I get a lot of trucks passing me.

I do load the back with a lot of stuff. But I get a 35 lb tongue wight to a 350 lb trailer. With out the wight in the back the tongue wight is around 50 lb. Any thing over 40 can cause the front wheel of the motorcycle to lift.
