Thank you for your response.

I am visiting different forums and blogs since about one year and I will tell you about my thoughts, maybe I am wrong.

1. Additional luggage storage yes or no



I am o tour since more than a year, travelling through Europe, but also stay for some months during the winter in warmer countries. In fact I do not have anymore a living domicile for my own. I have reduced my luggage to a minimum, but I have to bring everything that I own with me. My lifestyle is the one of a long term traveller. That works good, as long I will find accommodation in Airbnb, family or friends. For the planned tour I do not have all this possibilities, therefore I will do camping and this additional luggage has to be stored somewhere. 


2. load everything on the bike itself



I have seen a lot of bikes on the road and also on pictures, that are completely overloaded like a mule. Don't tell me that the luggage stored on top of a motorcycle has no impact to the behaviour of the bike or in case of an emergency stop. Thats the reason I am looking for a way to store the additional luggage in a trailer. Somehow or other the more luggage you have the more you have to care.


3. Single Wheel vs. double wheel trailer



When I am looking at the hitch of a single wheel trailer, then I remark the very strong hitch construction. This let me think about a massive load on the hitch. The other detail is that the load of a single wheel trailer ist in front of the wheel, that means the weight goes largely to the hitch, respectively to the bike. On a double whee trailer you can balance the weight on the hitch while loading the storage. The trailer I am thinking about is the American Legend Trailer (https://theusatrailerstore.com/legac...-trailer/).


And yes, you are wright there is also some frilly stuff*

In question the Panamericana, I am aware that this is not a identifiable road. This means I will use this just as a phrase to not have to declare all the single countries I will pass on my tour. Actually I am working on the details for Canada and North America and collecting Point's of Interest and Roads to Ride on a map for the future detail planning.

About Guatemala I am concerned about the crime and I know I have to find a way around the Darien Cap.
