Aluma XL Trailer

[Bam Bam and Pebbles]

As a veteran of the kidney failure, dialysis war, im glad you are keeping active. I was on peritoneal dialysis for 6 years (which Im guessing is what you are doing) and hemodialysis for 2 years, it can be tiring to do what you want. Keep up the good work.

After a lot of research I finally decided to the Aluma XL Trailer. Good locking system, weatherproof and looks great. This trailer enables me to get back on the road after kidney failure. I am able to carry eight days worth of dialysis solution and equipment. Trailer tracked great and never really noticed it was back there. MPG went down as expected (27 mpg) with two hundred fifty pounds of solution and equipment. MPG woug go up 2 1/2 to 3 mpg per day as I to of 45 pounds of solution every night. I am not letting a small handicap keep me off of the road. Plan on running the Blue Ridge Parkway next month. The reason that I posted this to show others out there with health issues that it is still possible to enjoy the road.

Air adjustment

Maybe you could adjust the air suspension on the rear end of the bike to make things level?
Just a thought.

I have the Aluma XL trailer but when I attach it to my 2014 RT the front of the trailer is raised so the trailer is not level. How did you get yours level?

I'll try that and see if it helps. Thank you for the suggestion.

Adding air to the suspension will just make it firmer, the hitch is mounted on the swingarm.

I was JUST reading about a new, more portable dialysis unit. Evidently, it can be worn as a fanny-pack, and it allows for more time getting your blood cleansed... :thumbup:
