    I would seriously consider
    a r*c*mb*nt tadpole trike (suspended for light touring, unsuspended for
    self-contained).

    Did you mean the reveres? Suspended for full load tour....

    Unsuspended trikes tend to ride rather roughly, especially since one
    tends to hit potholes with the rear wheel after straddling them with
    the front wheels. However, a heavy touring load will tend to smooth out
    the ride on an unsuspended trike.

    Trikes are subject to significantly higher torsional loads than
    bicycles. Putting a heavy load on a suspended trike will likely result
    in rapid wear of suspension pivots and spring/shock mounting points.
