BTW, do you guys load your sidecar rigs in reverse on the trailer so that the heavier part is to the front of the trailer? I saw a video where the trailer sways too much if there’s more weight on the back. I found a bear track trailer in fort Myers as well (smaller version).

Ronnie, on my BearTrack BTU82120S trailer,  which several of us have this same model of the BearTrack trailer because we have very wide sidecar rigs, when I first went about positioning my sidecar rig onto the flat bed of this BearTrack trailer,  I  actually measured the tongue height during the positioning process,  and measured tongue weight on my trailer hitch, so that I had the sidecar placed in a position that would be relatively balanced on the single axle trailer, with a slight lean towards the weight of the sidecar being forward  vs rearward...and so that the tongue weight on my trailer hitch was positive weight, vs negative weight, but with not too much positive weight. 

I locked my sidecar rig parking brake at that point, then built a tire chock for my front tire on the bike, with the tire chock butted up against the front rail of the trailer bed. This way, anytime I pull my sidecar rig up onto the trailer, I  aim the front tire at the tire chock, bump the front tire into the tire chock, then lock down the sidecar rig with the Honda factory parking brake. Then...obviously...secure the entire sidecar rig with 4 tied owns.

Pulled this trailer almost 7,000 miles from Washington State to Maine and back,  and it never swayed on me....ever.

I strongly encourage you to buy  BearTrack BTU76120S, or a BTU76144S trailer,  hitch it to the back of your Jeep Compass Latitude,  then go find an empty parking lot and learn to drive with a trailer behind you. 

The all aluminum trailer will feel like there is nothing behind you,  when it's empty. You may notice a small bit whence you put your  RE / Cozy sidecar rig on the trailer.

After your first 31,415 miles....it will be second nature for you. 

Okay,  okay...maybe after just 3,141.5 miles

It took Thane 314.15 miles to be totally comfortable with towing a trailer. 

It too Jan Daub 31.415 miles to be totally comfortable towing a trailer. 

It took me just 3.14159 miles to be totally comfortable towing a trailer...only because...I like Pi

Eat

However, it only took Bruce in Western Australia 0.314 kilometers to feel comfortable towing a trailer,  because he said he could drive circles around us Yanks.
