The only real advantage of that over a quality ultra light tent is that it's off the ground, and it can be leveled (for uneven ground).
The disadvantages (for me anyways) is that its a trailer, and IMO, trailers take a lot of fun out of riding a motorcycle. I guess I'd rather pack a quality backpacker's ultra light tent, tent footprint, Thermarest, and stay on two wheels.

Thats my issue. I like to travel fast and light. I have a REI Half dome that goes up in about 5 minutes, a down bag that compresses to the size of a coffee can and a REI self inflating pad that also compresses to about the size of a coffee can. This would allow me to pretty much set up anyplace in a minute and carry all my gear at the same time unloading the bike except for the 20lbs tongue weight. I have never pulled a trailer with a bike, been told you dont know its back there. When I tow one with a car I know its back there so...........
It is one of the quickest, lightest and smallest I have vere seen.
