Pulling a TRAILER behind a Motorcycle - in South America
Hi Guys ,
I am an Australian planning 'my' RTW motorcycle trip this year - but with a difference ..., I plan to tow a trailer behind a Motorcycle .
Question : What I want to know is ..,
- If any of you guys have towed a trailer behind your motorcycle, down through SOUTH America ?
- Or if you know what the legal requirements are "if any" to cross into those South American countries Boarders - with regards to towing a trailer behind a motorcycle?
- Are there any restrictions I need to be aware of , or do they give you a hard time , or charge you and extra insurance or fees to tow a trailer behind your motorcycle when you cross their boarders ?
..., so far - I am yet to find answers regarding towing a trailer behind a motorcycle ' South Of The Boarder - outside of the USA' ?
So this is the reason I am adding my questions to this more specific SOUTH AMERICA page
Guys - After I ship my bike to the USA (and head south) I want to buy a Bushtec Spartan Trailer (made in the USA)
[trailer link] https://www.bushtec.com/inventory/v1...ssee---1594461
- for its superior air adjustable suspension ,
- and larger 16" diameter wheels
- It's lightweight and narrow width
..., and I want to modify the trailer slightly by mounting a lightweight lockable aluminium box on top of the Trailer - that is long enough to carry 3 to 4 surfboards inside the lockable box + wetsuits etc .
Total weight of the modified trailer + load = about 90 kg's all up
( So far - ALL that has been planned and decided upon.)
So Now ..,
I just need to find out if there are any restrictions or legal implications for crossing these South American international boarders on a motorcycle whilst towing a trailer ?
Cheers Guys
