Pierson, FL United States | Are there any Vision owners that pull a Roll-A-Home camper? I wanted to touch bases and maybe learn some tips or timely advice.
Thanks,

| If you haven't done so yet, you might go to this site,(if I copy/pasted correctly) forums.delphiforums.com/MCTrailertowing/start. Don't know if you'll find anyone specifically with a Vision/Roll-A-Home but they DO pull trailers.
I have a Windward camper that I lived in on the road full time for 8 years pulling it first with an '85 K/100 BMW and later a '97 Kawasaki Concours. My Vision is the biggest bike I've owned so, while I haven't had it on the road(with the camper) yet, it should be able to handle the weight. If you've never pulled a camper before, remember that your slow-down-and-stop changes just like the get-up-and-go.

Pierson, FL United States | Hi Beemer
I've pulled a camper with my Goldwing on two trips to the west coast and parts South. I was wondering if the Vision will present any problems pulling the Roll-A-Home. The RAH is slightly heavier than my Slipstream.
I'm looking forward to the future in any case. |

Santa Maria CA | Have 2008 vision. Have pulled a kwik Camp tent trailer for 3 years then went to an Aspen tent trailer for the past 2 years. Have log about 20,000 miles pulling the trailers. Have 110,000 on the bike. Just allow more braking time |

Perry Hall, MD | Remember to add air to rear shock. Due to the electronics on the Vision the recommendation is to use an issolator for power to the taillights. The only issue I had to work through was making sure the trailer weight was balanced to put 10 to 15% on the tongue. Two up, trailer and gear no problem for the Vision. |

Pierson, FL United States | Thanks All
I have the isolator on the trailer wiring already and will take my time with the braking. I'm looking forward to retired life! |
