If you're a shorter guy (5' 10" or less) there's the Slipstream : Open Road Outfitters, Motorcycle Trailers and Campers, Motorcycle Hitches, and Trailer Parts
210lbs unloaded, 250lbs cargo capacity

Nice!

Also, you have option to open the side windows and the rear for more ventilation. The interior sleeping compartment has a floor and is protected with a no see mosquito netting that attaches to the the interior shell by hook and loop.

Love my Hennessy Expedition A-Sym hammock with the larger hex-fly raincover. I can generally rig it up enough to keep the bike mostly out of the weather. But, really, if I'm camping and it's raining, chances are the bike is already filthy anyway.

A very cool tent set up.... a place to park the bike out of the weather.. I like it...

True. However, it can not provide a dry area to work on your bike if it is raining or hiding your pack mule from knuckle heads.

People do things differently, granted. But when I'm on the bike and sleeping along the route, that's all I'm doing. I don't hang out in camp much beyond shave, coffee, food, poop, and get gone.

The pack size on the kit you link is attractive. Folks have different needs, and I do like the setup you link. The price is prohibitive, IMO, but that's just me. The Hennessy is pretty expensive for what it is, as well. My girlfriend has taken to multi-day trips with me, so something like your setup may be in my future. The Hennessy has been great for my solo rambles, and it packs up into a stuff-sack about the size of a loaf of bread.

As an aside, she's a prior thru-hiker with the AT under her belt. She's pretty good at packing small, but for some reason I always end up with a saddlebag containing nothing but hair dryers, makeup, etc. Wimminz be crazay.
