So on the top end - you're talking about 150 pounds - in three containers.
I would guess that would be well within what one could
haul in a small trailer.
My comment would be by the time you build a trailer, rig
a hitch to the bike, register and insure the trailer (Which I assume
will cost the same no matter what size the trailer) I would consider -
just consider - a different vehicle to do all this.
Then again - my opinion is biased by the fact that up here
in Maine no one can live with only a motorcycle - it gets dang cold in
the snow when you're riding.
Also keep in mind you'll be adding some stress and strain
to the GL by towing a trailer and if you attempt to ride two up with
the trailer you may experience a lack of power as well.
I've had some experience towing - though not on a bike -
and I can honestly say that I don't particularly fancy the idea of
being on a bike with a trailer - since thats two things that people
tend not to respect on the road in one package.
Just some thoughts.
