Pulling a trailer with a RS

[spydaman60]

I've got a 2009 RS that I put the Canadian Hitch on with no problems and the guy also sells the harness for $39. I bought a Little Guy trailer off Ebay for $600 that I'm hauling with no problems at all...Here's a picture of it...not yellow anymore, painted it black just this week..Taking it on a trip to SITA leaving on Sunday...Has a tongue weight of 30 lbs and was previously pulled by a Goldwing. Will let you know how well it does on the highway but it's done terrific on the short trips I've made with it.

I have an 09 RS and pull a Aluma trailer with it...over 1200 miles no issue. I have a BRP hitch and a Hopkins converter for wiring. Any other questions you can PM me.

Here's my review on the Little Guy trailer...The RS pulls it like a champ with very little effort. You can haul a lot of equipment with this guy...I pulled it over 1900 miles going to SITA and back...Definitely glad I bought this..It can pack a lot more than BRP's trailer and definitely a lot cheaper..

I've got over 5,000 miles on my Harbor Freight Tag-a-long with no problems. It's not the prettiest, but at $400, the price is right. It holds quite a bit and keeps the cargo dry.

Yes, it has 8 inch wheels and I've heard good and bad stories about them. I put RideOn in them when I bought the trailer and they've been fine. I do carry a spare tire just in case.

Just got back from SITR, and pulled a Harbor Freight trailer. It is their 4 x 4 flat bed with 12 inch wheals with a Sears car topper bolted on. Another in the group had the Harbor Freight Tag-a-long with 8 inch wheals. We traveled 75 to 80 MPH for most of the way their with no troubles, and like others have said did not even know it was there sometimes.
