Tag along ???

Generically, tag along trailers are typically smaller camper or utility trailers that are hitched to smaller cars and often motorcycles with a simple ball hitch. They usually don't require brakes or any sort of load leveling or anti-sway hitch. The term is not derogatory in any way that I'm aware of. Harbor Freight as I recall, uses the "Tag-Along" brand name on some of their small trailers.

A typical tag along trailer that could be towed by either a small car or a motorcycle:

Any thing that comes along with you , usually to me it would mean any bumper pull trailer .

It is what we named our travel trailer in the early 1960s.

It is also what the leaders of our daughters called the kids that got brought to meetings and along on outings who were still too young to join the troop.

There was a company called "Go Tag Along" at one time. Some of the Tag Along trailers are still in service. When I hear the term I think of small vintage trailers.

My favorite tag-along is the girl scout cookie.

When I was growing up a "tag" trailer was any bumper pull trailer. So we had fifth wheel, goose neck trailer and tags.
