Thanks, you're preaching to the choir!this is awesome!!
Here are a few updates to my project. As you have seen in my posts, to create my Moto-Mule RV configuration, I add a couple pieces of plywood to extend the platform length of the trailer box.
I am currently thinking about a way to make it quicker to deploy. I would like to replicate the old style folding lounge, ends folding over onto the middle section. I would attach the head end and leg end to the trailer frame where both would fold over onto the pelican case's top for travel. When stopped for some rest, I could simply unfold both ends and I would then use the pop-up frame of a tent, (Amazon.com : TETON Sports Outfitter XXL Quick Tent; 1 Man Pop Up Tent; Less than 1 Min Set Up; Free Rainfly Included : Family Tents : Sports & Outdoors) (YouTube), attaching it at the corners of those deployed ends, and use a matching Nelson-Rigg Defender 2000 Motorcycle Cover to sleep under. I'm hoping for a 5 minute setup.
Setting up a cot/tent is pretty easy on the ground, but my 'RV' configuration is to be deployed and used in Rest Areas without being hassled for camping. So far I have been able stealth camp this setup on trips back and forth across the country, even when a security person watched and talked to me during setup (he said I was a pop-up camper and not a problem).
I am also thinking about the feasibility of mounting my panniers to the sides of the Moto-Mule trailer. I don't like leaving my Touratec Pro2 45L cases ($$$) laying unsecured in camp when I'm out on a day ride. I'm hoping that welding a couple lengths of correct diameter tubing stock to the sides of the trailer frame could duplicate my rack's mounting spacing, allowing me to lock them on. That setup would only be used when the trailer is detached and stationary, never on the road.
