I was looking on the net for 'utility trailers' and ran across a website that has a few pictures of an Element. :cool:

Check out the link below, it should take you to 'Boulevard', it shows the Tentrax Boulevard, being towed by several small vehicles which also includes the Element parked in front of a Honda Motocycle store.

The Gallery section under the title, Coastline of North America, shows an Element towing the Tentrax.

This is my first post.

Yes, that guy was once upon a time on an epic roadtrip around the world. Started out in Washington state. Not sure what happened.

He had a great web page. I'll look for it.

Look what I just stumbled upon:

I purchased a Tentrax in Dec. '03 for traveling around the coastline of North America. I've put in excess of 35,000 miles on the trailer, none of which has been off-road. The trailer is well engineered and has been largely free of problems. I ordered many extras, including matching wheels for a Honda Element that added $2500 to the cost. Mine also has windows in the tent, another $985. It has back-up lights, full-sized spare tire mounted on the trailer tongue, and a rack on the back for scooter. Total price in excess of $12,000.

Traveling by myself I found the tent difficult to set up and abandoned that use. For hauling extra cargo it's great. Fully loaded at 1350# didn't affect gas mileage. It's very easy to maneuver and can get into tight spaces. The front corners tend to pit from debris thrown from the Element wheels.

I find the trailer useful and well constructed but pricy. On the Tentrax web site mine can be viewed on the fifth row of the gallery and also the bottom row at the Honda dealership.

I also looked at those. They were just a bit pricey for camping. If I were to spend that kind of money, it would take me 17 years to recover the cost of the camper, VS staying in hotels. Not worth it to me. I think the object of camping is to keep prices down. There for I went with another less costly option. It's around 3,000$ Vs 12,000. Much faster recovery from 3k!
