    Here's the set up now, not horrible but could be more roomy.

    Check this stuff out. http://pitposse.com/trac.html You can secure just about everything so that your bikes are safe with gear in the trailer.

    As an amateur track day-er, my dad and I travel very light. We pull a 40x48 Harbor Freight trailer. We load it with 2 bikes, a EZUP, 10 gallons of gas, and a spare tire.

    In the car (HHR) we generally have 3 people, supplies, food, gear for 2, (2) 6x8 tents, full set of tools (which has so far been the biggest waste of space, knock on wood), and stands.

    We use basically all of the available room, and are within ~50lbs of the max weight for the trailer, but it worked well all summer. And we get 25mpg cruising in the mid-70s

    It would be nice to have a higher speced trailer, but it was purchased with only one bike in mind and then my dad got the bug!

    I guess none of that answers the question: I prefer to travel as light as possible. I saw a guy show up with his sedan, a folding chair, and his bike on the trailer full of gas. He rode until it ran out of gas and then called it a day. That sounds great, if slightly impractical
