I had been casually looking for a motorcycle trailer for about two years. I looked at several that I thought were just OK, and several that I thought were just plain ugly. I hadn’t found one that I thought, OK, this is the one, until I saw the Road Dog Wide Track Deluxe. It jumped right off the page at me when I saw it in a magazine ad and I knew at once, this is my new trailer. I was a hot rodder in my younger days, and when I saw this trailer with its low, sleek, smooth design and wide tires with mag wheels, it reminded me of a really cool looking custom street rod. I knew I just had to have one.
I went to the Road Dog website and looked at all the different models of Road Dog trailers and accessories. I noticed that the trailers and accessories were very reasonably priced. I called Road Dog and spoke with Karl. He was very informative and explained all the great features including the famous Road Dog suspension that keeps the trailer and weight very low to the ground so that the trailer tows much better in curves, wind, and on rough roads.
I placed my order for a Wide Track Deluxe. When I received it and towed it behind my Goldwing, I found it was all it was hyped up to be. Because it pulls and corners so well, and I can hardly tell its even behind me, I tow it most of the time around home, on my daily commute to work and back, and when running errands. This way I always have room for anything I may need to haul, and makes my bike even more practical than it already is.
Because I was so impressed with the quality and price of their trailers, I became a Road Dog dealer.

The biggest favor you can do for yourself when you decide you want a trailer is to order early. Not just a Road Dog trailer but any trailer. There are a lot of people out there just like you who have one or more trips planned for the summer, and this is the year you want a trailer.
Now, here is the most common scenario. ”We are leaving in 2 weeks and we would like to buy a trailer” Wow! This is a tall order for a color matched fiberglass trailer with custom options. They take a bit of time to build, not to mention the added time for shipping. It is always best to give yourself some time to receive the trailer and familiarize yourself with the functions and characteristics of pulling a trailer especially if you are new to this experience. With so many orders simultaneously, it is hard to accommodate these types of orders.
The next scenario is…” We aren’t leaving for a couple of months yet so we will wait until we get closer to leaving and then order it” See scenario #1. It doesn’t hurt to have the trailer ahead of time. You will enjoy it more, learn a little about packing it, what you want to take with you, and what you want to leave behind. Some people say they don’t want the trailer just sitting around a month before they leave. Believe me, when you get your new Road Dog, you wont let it set very long. They are a great addition to your bike and are not just for touring.
You will find yourself using it for all sorts of reasons like groceries, golfing, commuting, and all around errands. So if you are considering ordering your trailer, my advice is the sooner the better. It will make both our lives a lot easier.
The departure date for your trip will be here sooner than you think. So don’t delay, order a Road Dog today! Just a little spur of the moment slogan there.
Have fun on your summertime adventures!

Baggers (motorcycles with saddle bags) have become some of the hottest selling motorcycles in the last couple of years, and rightly so. They help make a motorcycle not only fun and economical, but also more practical, being able to carry items along that would’ve had to be left behind before. And just as baggers have become more popular, so too have motorcycle trailers. Again, rightly so for several reasons. Even more items can be carried along, whether going on a long trip, or going home from the grocery store or home improvement store. Also, with Road Dog Trailers having 5 styles of high quality, low priced, very stylish trailers, it has become much more affordable and cool looking to pull a trailer than ever before.
With so many more riders towing trailers, some general towing tips and techniques may be in order.
When hooking up a trailer to a motorcycle, several things need to be checked. Make sure the coupler is adjusted correctly on the hitch ball, latched and locked down. There is another post on this sight that goes in to detail on coupler adjustment. If the motorcycle hitch is adjustable, adjust it vertically so that the trailer is as close to level as possible with the weight on the motorcycle that will be on it while towing, and the weight in the trailer that will be in it while being towed. Cross the safety chains when hooking them up to create a cradle under the trailer tongue. Check that all the trailer lights are working properly. Check the tire pressure. Last of all adjust the motorcycle mirrors to be able to see at least a small part of the trailer with it straight behind the motorcycle.
If new to trailer towing, its best to practice in a parking lot first. It may take just a little more throttle than normal when starting out. Check the stopping power of the motorcycle to see how much the stopping distance is increased with the trailer attached. Starting with small swerves, swerve left and right as in lane changes. When turning corners, overshoot the turns just a little more than usual to keep the trailer’s path behind the motorcycle. Back up a few times to see what that will be like. Remember when parking, it will take a larger area than normal for both the motorcycle and trailer to fit in.
Road Dog Trailers is fast becoming the most popular motorcycle trailer company on the market. I believe this is because we overbuild our motorcycle trailers to meet the ever growing demands of the motorcycle enthusiast. A large part of our innovation and improvements to our trailers come from our loyal customers who give us feedback and input that in turn helps us to manufacture the best motorcycle trailer we can.
Road Dog Trailers have always been designed from the ground up specifically for motorcycles. Our proprietary torsion suspension allows all Road Dog trailers a very low center of gravity. What this means for you is a motorcycle trailer that pulls smoothly and effortlessly with almost zero effect on your ride. There is a difference in motorcycle trailers and Road Dog is leading the way! Our testimonials that we have received over the years can tell you more about Road Dog Trailers than anything. It seems the one common scenario that I hear from all our customers is that the style and design of the Road Dog is what catches their attention but the performance is what really surprised them and is what they love most.

There are many different sizes and types of tires and wheels on motorcycle touring trailers.
Riders may wonder, why the differences, which ones are best, and why?
Road Dog Motorcycle Touring Trailers have wide, low profile, bias ply tires for several reasons.
We found through testing that the wide tires give a smoother ride. This is because they stay out of most of the ruts, cracks, grooves, and small potholes, as opposed to the very narrow taller tires. The wide tires also tend to last longer, as they have less load or pressure per square inch applied to them, for less wear.
The low profile tires allow the trailer to remain much closer to the ground, giving it a lower center of gravity. With the trailer closer to the ground, there is less wind resistance, giving you better fuel economy and much less side to side movement during crosswinds. All this means better and safer towing characteristics.
We chose bias ply tires because they are better for hauling cargo in a trailer. Bias ply trailer tires are constructed for better durability and bruise resistance under load than radial tires. Bias ply tires have a firmer sidewall than radial tires, which again means better and safer towing characteristics.
For all the above reasons, Road Dog Motorcycle Touring Trailers have wide, low profile tires with custom aluminum wheels and also because they make the trailer look really cool and stand out from the crowd!

If you have ever wondered if your fulton type trailer coupler is adjusted properly on your trailer hitch ball, this may help you find out if it is already correct, or if you need to make an adjustment.
When connecting your trailer to the towing vehicle, it is important that the hitch coupler is adjusted with the correct amount of tension for both smooth and safe trailer performance. A loose connection may cause the coupler to disconnect or to rattle. An over-tight lever coupler will make it difficult to connect and disconnect. This can also transmit unnecessary vibration to the towing vehicle. On the lever lock coupler, the amount of locking force can be adjusted to the diameter of the hitch ball. To change the amount of locking force against the hitch ball:
1) Release the hitch coupler-locking lever (to its straight up position).
2) Locate the adjustment nut on the bottom of the hitch coupler.
3) Rotate the nut on the threaded shaft clockwise to increase tightness and counter clockwise to decrease tightness.
4) Remount the trailer coupler on the hitch ball.
5) Push down the hitch coupler-locking lever to its horizontal locking position.
6) Repeat steps 1 through 5 until a snug fit is obtained.
Road Dog Trailers have fulton type couplers on our full line of motorcycle touring trailers. They offer good performance, are the simplest, and are the best value in trailer couplers.
