Hello all, I am considering towing a camper trailer with my 2015 F3 SE-6. has anyone had any experience with this setup. I added a trailer hitch system similar to the one offered by canamspyderaccessories.com that doesn't require the rear axle to be removed(attaches to the swing arm). I am considering the Kompact Kamp Mini-mate trailer. I plan to keep my trailer total weight down to the 400 lbs. recommended by BRP for the RT models. I was wondering if I need the swivel hitch with the trailer? i was thinking it is unnecessary because there is no lean to the spyder. Any feedback would be most appreciated!

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I tow a trailer using a regular hitch ball setup with no issues. Keep tongue and trailer weight at recommended weight......can’t even tell it’s back there.

Regular 1“7/8 ball is fine, however the wiring connector is a 4 pin square, most trailers are different. Won’t need swivel hitch unless may tow with a 2wheeler. Watching the tongue weight can be troublesome but it’s more about stopping (safely)capability than pulling. Believe couple members have the mini mate & may chime in. :bbq:
I agree with the "won't need a swivel hitch", but disagree on the rest of it.
I have been towing trailers behind 2-wheelers since 1978. Never felt the need for a swivel hitch, never wished I had one.

:agree: .... and the 400 lbs weight limit is all about the STOPPING ability. ..... there have been a couple of other members here who regularly tow higher weights than 400 lbs. without any issues .... However their trailers have Electric brakes and this makes stopping a lot easier. .... when I was building Tow hitches for Spyders I would test them by towing my 3100lb Toyota Echo on my flat gravel driveway. .... Didn't have any issues ..... good luck .... Mike :thumbup:
