This is the bike fully loaded,the bundle between our helmets are our leather jackets.

This is how it all fits,our bag of clothes(same bag as on the back of the bike) goes in first across the back of the trailer.The dismantled BBQ goes on the foor, right hand side at front with a set of kampa pots/pans and kettle on top.The picnic bag fits in behind the pots.Left hand front has the double sleeping bag with air bed behind.Across the centre is the suitcase cooker,heater, footpump and coolbag.Laying on top to one side is our two fold up chairs,the other side is the bedroom inner folded to fit.Any other gaps are filled with allsorts, radio, hair dryer, straighteners, shoes, hot water bottle,gas cartridges, etc.

The table lays on top of everthing and then our 4 pillows from home go on top.I then have to put weight on the trailer lid to squash the pillows down.Two water carriers are strapped to the underside,one each side.

The tent poles fit in a channel on the underside down the centre,along with pegs and mallet.

The saddle bags on the bike contain emergency gear,waterproofs,first aid kit on one side.Cameras,12v inverter and other small bits in the other.

The main tent is rolled up tight put into a bag and strapped to the rack on the back of the bike

Thats how its done,,hope i've not bored anyone to sleep.

Absolutely fabulous trailer and ingenious packing system!

Re downpour our village was partially flooded and Chester races had to be abandoned. We had a hec of a job driving back from Chester and couldn't believe what state some of the roads were in back home.

Amazing that you can roll this big telt into such a small bundle!!! And I am already having bike envy - I have just bought my first (small) motorbike and working on getting the driving licence. I will only be able to transport myself, sleeping bag, SIM, clothes, and the little EasyCamp Tipi!
