The Camper is amazing. The tent is on top, it has three compartments for storage. You pack a lot of stuff. I'm planning on taking one through South America. Now of course its fn' expensive but look what you get... a tent cot from Camprite... already $200 to $300. It has four wheels with a swing suspension, more stable than any other trailer. Yes 56 pound is heavy, but consider a good solid trailer already weighs 25 or more pounds, then add your tent/bedding,etc. weight and you already halfway to the camper's weight. Plus pulled weight is never as much as total weight, having four tires puts alot of that weight to the ground, not upon you bike. Need a 72 spoke wheel though, and then you engine won't feel it as much.
