If I can tow a trailer with two wheels, I will tow with three.

jlhog,
Welcome to the Elio zoo, it's a Fun/Very Educational/Entertaining place to be.

'If I can tow a trailer with two wheels, I will tow with three'

That has been my contention since I first started following this thread.
I have stated several times that I tow a cargo trailer with a Dyna and Wing, a Time Out camper with the Wing. At B'ham, Jarome said there would be plenty of room, under the shroud, for a trailer hitch but they would not reccommend it nor provide one. This is the same statement that Honda/Harley/other bike makers state for liability reasons.
Over the years I'v been towing trailers, with bikes, it seems as tho the people that have said the most about how Dangerous towing is, have Never Towed or did something Stupid and had a wreck.
With me, it's like 'Mind Over Matter', when I made up my 'Mind' to tow with a bike, what other people thought about it just don't 'MATTER'.
I plan to tow with my Elio as soon as I get it and find a hitch.
Bottom line,
'If you don't tow you dont know!!!! (Or get a Vote on what I do)

It looks heavier than that. What does it cost and is it available in this country? :) Z

Thanks for that information, Truett. It is a very interesting little camper. Are you sure it won't work with an Elio? :-) Z
