| Generally in the beginning the wife and kids have rolled there eyes when they think of me and my scoot, now however she is asking to go along and suggesting taking camping trips together. The kids are now kinda proud of old dad and his scooting about and want me to ride cross country to see them. North Carolina, Illinois and Utah. the Grand kids think it so cool and want to have a ride and they say "Go Faster Grandpa" |

| I have been thinking of one of these Camping Trailers to pull behind the Silver Wing but I just don't know if that is practical with two People and a Trailer. She is a Hiker and Backpacker including the Appalachian Trail sections and The Chilcoot Trail following the gold rush so she Likes camping Life. From a dollars and cents it is likely that motel camping would work best |

This is great news .... can your wife handle the long distances on your SWing??

It is always good to combine some things your wife likes to do on the trips ... like visiting children and grandchildren.

Here's a very active site that may answer some questions about what type of trailers are available and what your towing limitations are.
