Jeannie, welcome to the FGRV forum family. I had to look up pictures of what you have, as I was not familiar with that brand. What is the weight of your trailer, and what is the tow limit of a Goldwing?
Happy Camping
Dave & Paula

Most, (all?) motorcycles are not rated to tow anything. 500 lbs is considered by some as a good limit.

Jeannie, welcome! Don't let the weight police deter you.  We're glad to have a MyPod owner here... I think you're the first. How many camping trips have you taken with it?

I would really love to hear your experiences with your MyPod!! I had considered one of these last year, but ultimately decided it was too small. But I really love the design and everything. Let us know!!

Hey there. Just joined the forum. I recently purchased a mypod maxx and I also pull it with my Honda Goldwing Trike. Great camper and it causes lots of accidents as I go down the highway with people gawking at it.

Very nice rig you have there. The bike and pod match up nicely in size, it appears. Did you happen to keep track of your fuel economy, with and without the trailer? It would make a very interesting addition to our m.p.g. table (linked to in this thread): http://www.fiberglassrv.com/forums/f...nfo-68330.html

Hey Mike. thanks. No, I did not track mileage impact as this was a local camping trip and our maiden voyage with the MyPod in tow. Like a test run overnight camping adventure. We learned that the MyPod towed better with the battery disconnected and in the back inside of the trailer. We learned that we need a heater and electric blanket when it gets below 30 degrees. My previous teardrop had used structured insulated panels for its construction and only needed a candle to heat it up however the MyPod construction being fiberglass and lightweight aluminum frame needs more to heat it in the winter. Learning experience. Will let you know how it goes on a longer trip.

You probably need the battery up front to activate the trailer brakes, you are using the trailer brakes? Also there is a 30 amp cord shown for campsites, this will allow the use of an electric heater and blanket. So you will need hook ups since you do not have propane.

No brakes on trailer however there are disc brakes on the front and both rear wheels of the trike. Should be fine. 30 amp hook up at campground will support a ceramic heater and 110v electric blankets. We will be ready this time. I travel with battery in the back until I get to the camp site then move it to the front when I get there for space reasons and if I am off grid, it will drive everything but the air conditioner.

Hey likin the the Pod!
I ride alot as well but the only thing I towed with my Wing was my dirt bike.
Do they make a tent that attaches to the rear of the Pod so you can stand to change
clothes or whatever?
Welcome, thanks for the pics.

totally agree. Who needs a huge RV when properly outfitted? The outdoors is where I want to spend time.
