Motorcycle camping
I saw this today and thought it might interest some people

Concept is sweet but looks heavy, “canvas”? IMO a Lawson Ridge Line camping hammock would give you both bivy and hammock options will on the road with less weight and cheaper

The concept is good but not the weight or the price, also I hate when I can look at a photo and see that it was just staged for the photo shoot. I my younger and single years I camped many nights with a tarp and bed roll that I carried on my bike, you NEVER tie off on the LOW side so the bike can fall over on you. If your going to stage something at least make it look real.

It's an Aspen Sentry. We've had it about for 6 years, our first RT was a 2013 and we rode two up and pulled the trailer all over the PNW with no problems. Now my bride pulls a dog trailer or a cargo trailer and I pull the Aspen and we have changed to the bigger engine for the mileage and maintenance .

How long does it take you to put it up and take it down? I ask because my homemade tent on a trailer takes 1/2 to 1 hour to pack everything up and hitched and ready to roll after I came back from breakfast! I'm either slow, or built a very inefficient unit, or I just expect too much.

It takes me about 10 minuets to set it up after we park it where we want it. It all depends how much stuff we have pulled out of the storage underneath and if we are cooking breakfast. I can get all our gear packed and loaded in about 1/2 hour. I even pack a small porti poti for my bride so she does not have to wander around the campground at night. The trailer also has an additional add-a-room that doubles the footprint, and we have used it only if we are staying in one place for several days, that takes another 1/2 hour to set up or take down and store away. The whole set up works very well for us and after a couple weeks on the road we get really efficient on setting it up and breaking it down. We leave on or Coast to Coast ride in four weeks and after 2 1/2 months on the road we will get even better.

It takes me twenty minutes to set up the RV in a park:
pull in to the site
Level up the rig
put our both slides
hook up the City Water Supply
hook up to Shore Power
Hook up the "Stinky Slinky", and get it set in it's leveling cradle
hook up the cable TV Feed
and pour some drinks!

I suggest you buy your grandsons a new tent to put up on the next camp site over and have them do all the menial labour in exchange for going on the trip.
