Truck Camper with Swivelwheel type trailer?
Anyone have any experience with a Swivelwheel trailer (or similar fixed hitch model) attached to their Truck Camper that allows you to back up without jackknifing? I want to carry a under 600lb. moto...

Skip- I'd considered that, but loading a nearly 600 lb. FJR with a ramp and no way to steady it except letting it fall against the hood of my truck didn't appeal to me ;). Your method would work well for my DRZ, but the FJR or our Rhino 450, not so much! Thanks anyway.
I see you are in Nor Cal. So am I; Placerville area. If you want, I can let you try it out and see how hard it is to load your bike. I can do mine on my own using my 2003 BMW F650GS Dakar that weighs about 550# loaded with the panniers and trunk. The tie down straps are set to length and I put a large piece of foam against the hood. It's very economical. The ramp set-up sells for about $175.

Skip- Thanks for the offer, might just take you up on that. Wanting to carry our 1,000 lb. Rhino complicates things, but your option might work for when we take the bike only.
MNBen- I agree, but the price tag is about double of what the others are. Still, it looks to be a quality unit and might be worth the extra coin.
