Living on a Motorcycle with a Pop-Up Trailer TOUR

Today we have a real treat--we meet Kevin who is living full-time on a motorcycle with a pop-up trailer he tows behind it. You'd think that it must be a teeny-tiny camped space, but as you'll see when we go inside, it is surprisingly large and has plenty of room for comfortable living!
The motorcycle is a 2012 Yamaha Super Tenere that is a dual-sport model which means it does reasonably well on dirt roads and in the backcountry, opening up a huge amount for exploring and solitude in gorgeous country. It is Adventure Riding at it's very best.

When you travel in a car you watch pictures pass by. When you ride a bike you ride in the warmth of the sun and down under the tree canopy into coolness. You smell cut grass, barbeque, pine. Lavender and food cooking, etc. It stimulates all your senses. There is an overwhelming feeling of freedom. Any depression, stress or anxiety disappears as the wind blows through your hair. I have traveled on my Harley Road King with a small tent and slept on a "tanker roll" like I did in the Army but that was nothing like this rig.

After some traveling on my own and roughing it for a few years all of a sudden my wife who wouldn't go near my bike decided she wanted a ride. I rode her around the block and she was hooked. For several years after we traveled each year with a group of friends on bikes. We quickly filled my saddlebags, and added a luggage rack and then packs until the damm thing was so loaded down and back heavy that I started to worry about losing steering control. Then she started showing me pictures of bike trailers and that's where I drew a line in the sand. After watching this I might reconsider and see if I could get somethings off the bike and onto the trailer.

My first camper was one of these! I pulled it with my Buick Enclave. I especially loved how spacious it was. It was great, however. I'm 5'4" and struggled putting the rods up for the tent part of the camper. The rods had those little buttons you had to push in to extend it or make smaller and it was just not easy, so after awhile I sold it to another person and purchased a TAB 400 teardrop trailer!! I can see why a guy would especially love this little camper. For me, as a woman, I wanted places to hang my clothes and to store things. It's just the greatest camper! Just not right for me at this time of my life. (I'm 71) Did I tell you how much I love my Nucamp TAB 400??

We have this - ours is a red body but, same exact pop-up. My husband’s done a ton of camping in it, pulled by a Goldwing. To give himself a bigger living area, he adds an EZ up with removable walls to the front of the pop up, and that really extends that living space. Anyhow, great story, safe travels to you, sir, and shiny side up!

I put around 50,000 miles on it over a 4yr span.
