What do you recomend to pull behind your spyder? My wife and I are saving up to buy one this summer. I do like the fact that I can get one from my dealer that matches my bike, but Looks like the cost will be around 5000 by the time you get the hitch and lights. Just wondering what alternatives are.

I have an Aluma MCT (http://www.alumaklm.com) trailer.

While there are a number of alternatives, I want to put in my plug for the Spyder RT-622 trailer. It is a marvelous cargo trailer, matches the Spyder perfectly, and towed almost as if it weren't there. I have other trailers, but the RT-622 is my favorite.

If your going to spend a lot for a cargo trailer and you go camping why not go for a camping trailer

4248742484424854248642488We had the BRP RT622 Trailer with our Black 2010 RTS & it handeled like a dream. When BRP designed the RT Spyder, they designed the trailer at the same time, independent suspension & all, works great. I just wanted something also for camping & especially if we're on a trip & get caught in a downpour, we can just pull over at a safe spot & hop in out of the elements & take a nap or watch a movie on our Tab, no set-up required, unlike the "tent" MC campers out there, nothing against them, just didn't fit our needs. So it all depends on what your needs & requirements are. I can remove the matress from the camper & have more storage compassity than most full-size SUVs. If you'd like more info on the Moto-Mate, feel free to PM me. Good luck on yur search, & keep us informed on which route you take & how you like it :thumbup:

The RT-622 trailer 's price is equivalent to what one pays for a high end fiberglass motorcycle cargo trailer. There are any number of much less expensive trailers out there and if one of them meets your needs and budget go for it.

The RT-622 trailer is worth every penny I paid for it and I do not, for one second, regret my decision wrt this purchase. Best towing trailer I have ever owned, bar none.

This is what I'm looking to purchase later this year.

I am seriously thinking about selling my "Kompact Kamp"(jd trailers.com.) It has been painted to match my Blue RT. I've pulled it about a thousand miles and have yet to sleep in it. I am going to pull it to Spyderfest for the second time. Changes in my health and other plans are the reason for possible sale. I'll have made my mind up by then.

Actually a month ago, there were two on Ebay. I bought mine at a considerable savings; it's a 2010 and, for all practical purposes, it's new. I had mine shipped from the west coast.

I found this guy. for the savings it's worth a trip to pick it up. I plan to.

He has every color under the rainbow and the prices are anywhere from 2200 and down. The average price for a BRP trailer is what 3300 to 4300?

I pull a Bushtec Turbo II. Lighter and less cost than a RT-622. I've pulled it behind Goldwings and Spyders..
My total gross weight just exceeds a RT-622 empty, by only 35 lbs. Why pull trailer weight, when you can haul payload? I use an RT Hitch on my GS and RT with the Trailer wiring Harness and a 2010 Tongue Harness with a 5 pin connector on it for RT. I use an Electrical Connection Relay Isolator on the GS.
Happy Ryding and Pullin'

I have the americasbesttrailer from the link above. Here is a pic of it if you want to see what it looks like behind the Spyder. I do not use one enough to justify the cost of the BRP trailer so for me this was a good option for about half the cost or less.

I have a Piggybacker trailer which I modified a little bit, but it still cost me less than $1,000. I have put close to 10,000 miles on it and it's still trailing great behind my RS. Not as nice as the RT-622, but 1/4 of the price.
