Can-Am Spyder & Lugg and Roll Trailer. Preparing for a Road Trip

In this video we take you through the prep process we use to get the Spyder and our Lugg and Roll trailer ready for one of our road trips.

Thanks for your packing ideas, it’s good to get a perspective of others packing , gear, preparation!

[@CanukSpyder]

Thanks for your comment. Packing the trailer is always a work in progress and it changes as we learn things that we need or do not need., I appreciate your interest in the channel. 👍🇨🇦

This is one of my favorite videos ever of any motorcycle type review. Extremely well done, you two. Thank you for sharing. Also your garage, home, and yard is beautiful. You take a lot of pride and time into taking care of your belongings. A great habit!

Thank you Richard, I appreciate you continuing to follow along with my channel.

Wow the trailer holds a lot of thimgs I travel omy Spyder amd wanted a trailer but was umsure Thanks I may consider one

[@CanukSpyder]

It has been a game changer for travel. It sits back there just fine and you barely feel it. Thanks for your comment and for your interest in the channel.

[@SpyderWayne]

A nice thorough job Fraser, you are very organized, which I know makes it easier to know when you're ready to go, a place for everything and everything in its place 😁👍👍. By the way, for some reason I really like your awesome looking Spyder 😁🤣

[@CanukSpyder]

Thanks Wayne. You have to be at a whole other level of organization given that you are hauling your home behind you so to speak. I have the same feeling about your Spyder.... for some unknown reason 🤷🏼‍♂️. 👍🇨🇦

[@darrenmorrow5697]

Always like to see how people pack there spyders learn new things/ways everytime was going to ask if yous have a cover for travel you answered that thanks Another great video.

[@CanukSpyder]

Like everything is has been a work in progress, what you saw seems to work. The half cover I purchased for our F3 fits the RT just fine.

[@davidshibley5214]

Great Video. Enjoy your trip and stay safe. The 2Shibs!

[@CanukSpyder]

Thanks David, We have gone. We are back. I am now back in Editing mode. Cheers!!

[@davidshibley5214]

[@opichocal]

Wow you are really organized. I really need to work on that. I’m planing a 4000 mile trip on my scooter and I’m taking notes from your video👍

[@CanukSpyder]

A place for everything and everything in its place. A tip. Once you find a spot for something. Don’t change it on the road.

[@terrybetz134]

Thanks it was informative. I may be getting a Trailer next year. I got the RT Limited last year Safe trip enjoy.

[@CanukSpyder]

Best of luck on your trailer search. It is a game changer for travel.

[@magnusb6311]

Good video, will check out your other videos. Liked

[@CanukSpyder]

Thanks for your comment, I am happy you enjoyed the video.

[@MrRicco39]

Did you take bike into dealer before trip and if so what was the cost thanks what a great video love it!!!!!!!

[@CanukSpyder]

The bike was in for the 5000km service before this video was shot. The cost of that service was $350CDN. I usually have the bike serviced once per season otherwise. Thank for your interest in the channel.

[@stbyrd2000]

Great video. Where did you get the 4 pin square to the 4 pin flat connector ?

[@CanukSpyder]

The one you saw was supplied to us by the manufacturer of the trailer. They just cut a 4 pin flat in half to fit the square. Not the best set up. I have since ordered a proper one from Spyder Extras in the US. Fortunately is have relatives that I can ship to. Thanks for your interest in the the channel. 🇨🇦👍

[@billwilliams9527]

Good video, the Lug and Roll caught my interest. Did you have your dealer install the hitch? You guys re ready to roll.

[@CanukSpyder]

The dealer did install the hitch on both our Spyders. If the bike is still under warranty or extended warranty installing an aftermarket could affect the warranty. The Lugg and Roll has been a great trailer for us. Don't even know it's back there when we are rolling along. Thanks for following along with the channel. 👍🇨🇦

Thanks, I enjoy following you guys.

[@CanAmCruising]

Hello Frazier can you explain the GoPro screen does it have to be next to the GoPro or can it be mounted to your handlebar while your GoPro camera is mounted to your helmet or is it just a very short cable connected to the camera Thank you!! CanAmCruising ✌️

[@CanukSpyder]

The flip up Go Pro Screen is used with the Media Mod on the Hero8 as it does not have the front screen like the Hero9. It cannot be mounted on the handlebar as it plugs directly into the Media Mod via the micro HDMI port. Now that I have the Hero 9 mounted on my helmet I only use the Her 8 for handheld shooting. I hope this addresses your question. Thanks for your interest in the channel. 👍🇨🇦

[@hcamardelle]

Does pulling a non Can-Am trailer cause any warranty issues?

[@CanukSpyder]

No warranty issues with the trailer but installing an aftermarket or non BRP hitch may have an effect on your warranty.

[@MrScby11195]

How much does that trailer weigh I feel like some one could just pick it up and toss it in a truck

[@CanukSpyder]

You raise a good point. The trailer's dry weight is 160lbs (72.5 KG). So a couple of guys could load in the back of a truck. We lock the trailer to the bike when it is outside overnight. Not perfect but a deterrent none the less. At home it is tucked in the garage. Thanks for your comment and for your interest in the channel.

[@MrScby11195]

@@CanukSpyder Your welcome I have been looking at the spiders and you are one of the few channels I have found that has videos on it. It is definitely safer locked to the bike, it’s like any thing else these days it keeps the honest out because if someone really what’s it nothing is going to stop them

[@jeffreysims1865]

Could you post a link for the trailer hitch ball lock please?

[@jeffreysims1865]

@@CanukSpyder excellent. Thank you. One other question: why did you choose the Lugg & Roll vs say a Bushtec?

[@CanukSpyder]

@@jeffreysims1865 I did look at the Bushtec but it was more money than I wanted to spend. They do make a very nice product. Thanks for you comments and for your interest in the channel.

[@jeffreysims1865]

@@CanukSpyder no worries and thank you for sharing your adventures with us. What trip is up next for you guys? I’m in Florida so we can pretty much travel in state all year. Not sure when the snow stops flying in Quebec?

[@CanukSpyder]

@@jeffreysims1865 We actually live in Ontario but the winters long and can be rough. We usually get back to riding in April and have gone well into November some years. Then it is time for us to get some time in warmer climates.
