This is a cool trailer but I can't seem to find anything about it.

came across these trailers but a little too big to pull with the Honda.

Yeah, as cool as they are, the more I see these all-in-one small everything-but-the-kitchen sink trailers (and the $$$ they fetch) the more I'm inclined towards loading up my backpacking gear and strapping it in the back of my Talon. Think I would save myself about a zillion dollars that way. I could even bring the BIG tent with cots! 😁😁😁

There’s a lot of truth to that.. with the right gear it’s easy to do and still be comfortable... but many of these builds are like having a 300k motorhome and calling that camping. I can see instances where some of these builds would be nice, but all in all. I really like my hammock and jetboil setup. Simple, comfortable and light!

Yea its sure hard to justify the cost on something like that. I could build one myself for a LOT less. When it's just me in the sxs its pretty easy to take the hammock setup and go. My challenge is taking the wife with requires more stuff and becomes more of a load on the machine. I'm probably better off just taking my truck and enclosed trailer and setting up a base camp somewhere.

If you let JTW ride with you on an overland it takes 4 times more stuff and a cargo net to keep it all on the pile.

But we’ll have everything we could possibly need!
