I just took my new Time Out camper on it's maiden voyage today. Since this is my first trailer I still have alot to learn. The camper pulled great and I did'nt have any major problems. There was one thing that kept happening that I don't know how to correct. I stopped at several intersections and when I had to turn left or right from a stop the front of my RSV started to wobble slightly. When I straightened out it stopped wobbling. I had 30 pounds of tongue weight and I had put air in the rear shocks. I did'nt add any air to the front shocks. Anybody have any suggestions? I would greatly appreciate it.

I have been considering buying a camper. I ride a 2006 RSV. I have been looking at the Timeout Campers and really like what I see. Especially the largest one that comes with the air mattress, table and chair. Since I have never pulled trailers with a bike, I was needing to know if the Timeout Camper would be too heavy or if it would be ok for my Venture. Any information or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

:Cool_cool36:In almost 39 years of riding I have experienced many horrendous highsides and fantastic falloffs. My two most memorable was when I was 16 years old and the other in the late 1970's. At 16 years a lady turned left in front of me. She stopped and all I could do was lay the bike down. I slid under the front of her car and hit my back on her bumper. I still remember that day due to occasional lower back pain. In the late 1970's I was riding down a farm to market road at 65 miles an hour. A friend of mine was riding a short distance behind me. We thought we would be smart and see who could do the best job at weaving back and forth across the yellow line. Needless to say I overcorrected and layed the bike down. I went sliding down the road with my head only inches from the pavement and I was not wearing my helmet. I was taken to the hospital where a nurse with two very large sponges scrubbed the gravel and pavement out of my back and all the way down to the backs of my legs. Then since both of my hands were burned, she dipped them in some sort of solution. OUCH! I am still reminded of that day by the large round scar on my left elbow. In both of these cases I learned to slow down and expect the unexpected, wear a helmet and above all don't act a fool on a motorcycle! At 48 years old my need for speed has faded. I have learned to :Cool_cool36:ride like all roads are under construction and I ride like I am invisible to other vehicles. RIDE SAFE!
