As you can see we have a trailer for our bike, and we pile stuff on it when we go camping with the bike. When we first started using it, it would move us around and was a pain.
We then moved the axle back and WOW! What a difference. The ONLY time it bothers is when we go up onto the sidewalk or anything like that where it hits one tire before the other, then it will shake you some, but as long as you are aware, it doesn't seem to bother much. Very small inconvience for the added benefits. I am just the rider, but I can tell you that I do not feel the trailer when we are going down the road.
It is great to have the extra room. We have a little camp stove, and even an inverter to recharge phones or whatever.
Last year at the Redwood Run a bike came in with a little trailer shaped like a coffin. It folded out into a tent trailer. It was a little erie, but looked like it worked well.
