Somewhere around 2009 I bought a small 4x8 trailer with a 4' height to haul my trials motorcycle around.....and to sleep in.  Not long after that in 2012 I got my Savage and used the trailer to go from Kentucky to Long Island to pick up the motorcycle.

It was a long trip and I had to sleep in the trailer 2 nights on the trip. Even though the trailer was only 4' wide I had room to sleep by putting the Savage over to one side.

When I bought the trailer it had windows with screens as the previous owner used it to haul show rabbits all over the country.

As time went on I spruced things up and added curtains, an electrical outlet that could be plugged in when the campsite had power....I could charge my USB devices and also plug in a small heater if needed.  I have camped into the 50's without a heater - a few nights I slept in my driveway when the temps got really cold and used a heater just to see what was comfortable.  I have slept in it overnight at 9 degrees by bundling up and using a sleeping bag and blankets - however my breath left a thick coating of ice and frost on the inside of the camper (This trailer is not insulated).  I bought a foam pad and a local lady made me a cover for it - the pad was leaned up against the wall and secured with bungee cords when I traveled.

I had this trailer for about 12 years and put about 30,000 miles on it.  I stayed at campgrounds and used the available showers and bathrooms.  For food I would just take a cooler and put lunch meat and yogurt for breakfast and my drinks.  The campgrounds always had bagged ice available.

The Savage fit in just fine, the F800 required me to remove the windshield and that took about 15 minutes to complete.  My bigger R1200 would not fit as the bodywork at the handlebars was just too tall to go through the door.

I also added a small toolbox on the tongue to hold the jack and tools necessary for changing a tire.  I had a small space saver spare tire I tucked behind the driver seat in my car.

Nobody puts Savage in the corner.
Shame on Yew!

A pearl white Savage, Boulevard, S40, one of the better colours.

Here is what my new trailer looked like when I picked it up at the factory that built it.

The smaller 4x8 trailer was only 4 feet high inside and was very low to the ground with an 11" deck height....it weighed about 600 pounds.  This new trailer is 5x10 and has a 15" deck height, and weighs 870 pounds (before I added insulation and paneling).

This trailer has a rear door ramp to make for easier loading, and a side door with an RV style latch so I can get out of the trailer when sleeping inside.

The extra height and width was very noticeable to the small Vibe.  I found I was driving a gear lower while hauling it home - the extra wind resistance of the higher/wider trailer was noticeable at highway speeds.

This is what the inside looked like after I insulated the walls and ceiling, installed windows that open and have bug screens, added thin Mahogany plywood to the walls and ceiling for a cleaner look, installed a ceiling fan, and put Monster Liner on the floor and ramp.
