The ‘Midget Bushtreka’ is not good for any long distance touring. I could not go very fast and the wheels broke…it is really strong on the top but weak on the bottom. This would be good as an emergency shelter but no long distances. (I don’t get the weakness of the 4 wheel design? It really seems almost better to have 4 spaced apart wheels and the front would be turnable (at least). I really hope this design improves! Oh and be smaller and lighter. I am going to use some other trailer to put it on top of and use it as an emergency shelter. (But it won’t go very far on the road with me).

Best solution every long distance cyclist prefere is top quality touring gear inside pannier just to save weight. I have to admit that sometimes circumstances force me to pull behind my modified MTB on my long birding trips my cargo Cruiser or Burley Nomad trailer just to accomondate my camping gear and all kind bulky ornithologist equipment. Bushtrekka is to heavy and absolutely useless for long distances bicycle tours even on asphhalt. Who want to pull this heavy bath on 4 wheels up to steep hills. I ride mostly fully loaded bicycle about 9000 miles every year , 1/2 this distances in Rockies …..

Ive been trying to contact them for about a month to see if it would hold up being pulled behind a Honda 700 Magna, i think i’m going to try it anyhow for a cross country trip, it has everything I need but im not sure about how it would do at high speeds.

They should make one for motorcycles, that’d make more sense

I’ve used the “Tent Cot”, before liked the idea, the comfort, just did not like the shower that I got every morning when getting up. I have limited touring under my belt and still prefer my Hammock and panniers as the lightest and most economical way to go. I do like all that cargo room.

A 10×10 ft. nylon tarp with attached ties (such as a Campmor 22220) can be rigged to a tree, canoe paddles, ropes, the side of your tent, or anything else near your campsite. Just take some lightweight nylon rope to complete your porch/garage/fly. Takes almost no space, weighs almost nothing, and is totally useful every night.

Impressive but a rather overbuilt, overweight, overpriced solution to the simple need for a tent and extra luggage capacity. It looks good in a show room but I imagine would cause more worries in the field.

I didn’t see any specifications for this trailer but I’m guessing that it is close to or over three feet wide. I think it would be difficult to claim enough of the road to be safe on two lane highways in a lot of places. I prefer the single track of the BOB over even a Burley or other two wheel cargo trailers which are much narrower than this.
