Nice.

Good choice on the bumper pull, leaves the truck bed open for the bike.

could you throw a trailer on the back of that? I have seen winebagos with them but I guess that would be like a tandem trailer.

yeah they allow it here but I don't know if I would want to hassle pulling two trailers and trying to get through traffic and what not. you have to stay on freeways and then a direct route to your destination with doubles.

Like a Toy Hauler?

Lots of reasons.

Unless you get a REALLY big one, the storage area is also the living area. That means the bike, fuel, etc. all stays inside. Besides being stinky, you have to fully unload before getting any sleep. Doesn't work too well if you drive up to the track (or campground) at midnight and need to sleep at the gate until they open in the morning.

More space & creature comforts per foot in the TT because it is designed for living without sacrificing for garage space, fold up beds, etc.

A 30' TH would be significantly more expensive than a 30' TT.

I've done my research.

Someday...

I guess my friends have what you would call a *really big one* I haven't ever researched them, I've just hung out in/used friend's. Theirs had separate spaces and didn't require unload. Good to know.

I had one a few years ago, the living area was the storage area, everything just came down off the walls after I pulled the bike out. The one time I did actually use it I ran into the park and unload just to reload everything in a hurry the next morning.

exactly.

I did look at a couple very large, very heavy fifth wheel toy haulers but even those when I thought about it, I could have so much more living space if I just toss the bike in the bed.. besides I won't always take the bike with.
biggest problem with those was that at 52 grand I could have another real house instead of a camper. LOL my Brother in law was pushing hard for a Dutchmen Voltage. the thought was there but only for a couple minutes.
