There have been several posts about Campers for our Can Ams. Thought I would share ours with everyone. Some folks do not know a Hard Side Unit is available. Our "Little Guy has AC & Heat, Flat Screen TV, and a 10' X 10' X 8' Room. For one night stays we use just the Camper. for a longer time we can set up the Room in less than 10 minutes. We have had several different types of campers but really like this one because we can get out of the weather without having to set anything up.

Little Guy is a little heavy at 490 lb but tows as well as the 300 lb pop ups I had. I think the reason is the suspension and wheel size. 175/80R13. I am getting 31mph towing.
Although not shown in the photo, there is a Rain Fly for the Room

Hi Padre Spyder: Thanks for sharing the info about your camper
I did a google search and found little guy website here is the link www.golittleguy.com/teardrops. I am assuming your model is called the "rascal" as the info mentions that it can be pulled by a motorcycle.

You're correct, it is the Rascal Model. I purchased mine (2009 Model) on ebay for $3100 including all options.

Looks great! I went to the website and saw the Little Guy 6-Wide Sport model that has a platform for motorcycles or an atv--anyone know if the Spyder would fit? That would be a great way to haul the Spyder if needed, and still be able to ryde once you arrive.

Too narrow and short to load a Spyder, and it would add too much tongue weight if you could. Sorry.

I know that BRP is isting 400 punds as the towing limit, so I had kind of figured that the "Little Guys" were just a bit on the pudgy side for Spyder-duty...
Now I'm going to have to re-think this position... Thanks for the info!
I can't get that mileage with no trailer, not even mine.
What speed do you travel? High way etc.???
What is your magic to get 31 with the trailer?? Dang you must be getting 40 without the trailer..
I only dropped 4 MPG with the trailer, 35 without, 31 with. Traveling 60 to 65. I had towed with a 2008 SM5 which was actually 1 MPG less, 34 & 30. Running 70 to 75 without the trailer gets me a flat 30.

There have been a number of posts concerning trailer lighting & wiring. I followed the consensus and installed an extra set of lights for turn signals. Works great.

I got to tell you I love it and could see me in it instead of a hotel on some of my trips. Tell me about the AC and heat and the TV. My main thing is I would need to be able to work with my laptop but I'm sure I could work something out for that.

The AC/Heat Unit is a stand alone which ducts through either side (picture attached). The TV is a 12" Flat Screen which I mounted in the space between the two Cabinet Doors. I installed a Cable hook up through the side (simple to do) and either hook to cable or use a flat omnidirectional antenna. I have not had reason to need independent Electric as I always stay in Campgrounds but the small 1000 watt Generators will run everything, but adds 40 or so pounds.
