Good info., thank you, Scott, very thorough. I'll be looking at this in more detail, as your post gives me hope I can accomplish my goal. The idahotote site was interesting, but I already have an enclosed trailer for the bike. Problem with that is lining it up - or rather, lining up the coach - to connect the two.
Rather than the challenge of backing up the coach to a hitch, I'm assuming there must be a way to maneuver the trailer to connect to the hitch, manually. The trailer's too heavy to do so alone, and by hand, but if there were something like, say, a hand truck, or easily maneuvered way to move the trailer to the hitch, that would work for me, too....
Obiwan,
You're more than welcome Sir. I don't know how close you looked at the Idaho Tote but, it's not a normal SINGLE ball type trailer hookup. It connects at TWO points on the back of the coach. When towing it, all moves is up and down, not sideways like a regular trailer. The pivoting dual wheels do the work of moving sideways. And, like stated, you can tow behind it. And, while it's darn near impossible to back up a toad, if the toad is removed, you can back up an Idaho Tote, straight and in turns, very, very easily. But, it's just another option. If you have any questions, surely PM me and I'd be glad to help.
Scott
