Hey, But I'm a total amateur at side cars ... know nothing about them regards how to pilot one. Had zero training
I've heard proper set up is critical?
Anyway, no worries, have a great trip! PS: you'll do great on muddy roads where a bike would suffer.

I am a total newbie to sidecars...just getting my first Ural. I have a year to get trained (formally) and get a bunch of riding and shorter trips in.
The Ural is, of course, purpose designed. It and its clones are the only manufactured sidecars out their to the best of my knowledge. So, it's handling is good...as far as sidecars go...which maybe is not very far!!
Even Urals are best limited to 55 mph or so. And, they are more tiring for sure!
We're getting a Gear Up model, which has on-demand 2-wheel drive which we may find handy in muddy terrain. (And, the reverse gear is nice with a heavy rig like that!)
Everyone I know that has one wears a constant grin while riding it. And, as importantly, my wife no longer hops on the back (or front) of 2 wheeled machines. So, this is a nice option for our trip!
Take care!!
