    Hi, I bought his red trailer 5 years ago, (demo). I pull it with 85 flhtc, also red. I've pulled it about 28 thousand miles so far, love it! My hatch also leaks, but Jason it totally dismissive of me on that. Never offered to solve problem. But, I still love it. Gonna put brakes on this year, I found a company that sells custom axles for about 550 bucks.

    Awesome tour of your teardrop. I used to have a teardrop too but pulled it with my vehicle. Got rid of it due to lack of headroom. Now I have a minimate motorcycle camper that I take with me cause I have plenty of headroom inside to stand and sit comfortably on the edge of the bed. I don't yow it with a motorcycle but with a small Subaru suv. Going on a long trip next month first time taking it out of state.

    @WheelsNotHeels 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This was fun to watch! Very cool to see all the detail whether it's tmi or not. I dont think you mentioned if you change clothes inside the trailer or not. I did not realize you had sold everything in order to do this. My brother did the same and just got a small Airstream to travel in. I gave him that food saver thing you did a video on. 👍 Stay safe out there, Rex.

    • @texaslonestarrider
      @texaslonestarrider  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Glad you enjoyed it!
      Actually, I will put my pants legs on and then swing my legs outside the trailer door and as I stand up I pull my pants up, I do the opposite getting in the trailer. It is really hard to put on a pair of jean inside the trailer, but it can be done.
      Yeah, selling everything was the only way to finance the first year of this trip.
      That Food Saver is awesome!

    If u could rig up a cb radio and when u get to a truck stop u can ask drivers to get u a shower card when they go in to pay. Most of them don’t use it and will give u one. They get a free one every time they fill up. Is your bike rigged up to charge your house battery when driving

    • @texaslonestarrider
      @texaslonestarrider  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yeah, I didn't mention the truck drivers sometime they give me a free shower. Sometimes Pilot or Loves Truck Stops when they see there are no showers credits on my card they give me a free shower. I will be talking about that on my how to stay clean on a road trip.
      The Motorcycle does not put out enough power to charge the trailer battery. The solar dose an awesome job keeping the battery charge.

Any more than having a fire extinguisher in your home will guarantee that your house can’t burn down, or that wearing a seat belt guarantees you will survive a car wreck. but a gun, like those other things, gives me a chance I wouldn’t have without it.
