They really are a luxury item in a world struggling with folks looking for good jobs and trying to make ends meet. Do you know how hard it is to keep up with payments on a nice AS for 30 years? Flux capacitor, scmucks capacitor... I’m sticking to the basics the way a Wally intended.
Besides, the environmental impacts of the flux capacitors is horrific. Not to mention the materials, energy, and overseas shipping involved, the 1.21 gigawatts are supplied by a plutonium-powered nuclear fission reactor that gets dumped in the local landfill after premature failure! Catastrophic, I’m staying clear of the states where this crap is being sold.
Just sayin’

But the one thing we are all forgetting is the flux capacitor 2.0 is now fueled with garbage, thus cleaning the environment. Will 3.0 not need fuel at all?

Life and death of a thread
The problem with flux capacitors is that all of the hardware to make it run is notoriously unreliable and problematic. Sure, they look great on the surface, but when the 1.2 million a year in added maintenance is added in, keeping Biff in line just ain’t worth it.

Heck, ASers haven’t even caught up yet on superior technologies like lithium-ion solar powered coffee makers, so I’m hardly surprised.
Anyone with a 1.0 Model needs hazmat placards and warning labels so the rest of us can steer clear...
Again, just sayin’

Can the flux capacitor be used with a receiver hitch installed on the back of the trailer to haul a Harley Electra Glide?

Absolutely!

And then we have the cooling problem. Its not like everyone can afford a Danforth cooling unit, some people will try to cool their flux capacitor with propane, possibly causing propane induced armageddon. #JustSayin

I don't know what step we're on now but this is where I need to ask you to let me know your itinerary so I can avoid meeting you in the road.
Unless your Harley has onion balls? That might work.

Onion balls can be used as lubrication to improve the moisture content of the beef when grilling at the higher temps required for food safety. But do not use the Canadian onions as it is difficult to get them across the border. Instead, use the Mothership onions. Always best. Pat
Edit: Note, step 7 in play!

I was told by an expert that if I do this, the Airstream will separate amoeba-like. So my question is if I now have two trailers, will I have to purchase another flux capacitor for the second trailer?

Well, Steamy1 - that's a great question. Prepare yourself for a lot of different answers on this and have fun! [emoji3]
(Too obvious a start back at step #1?)

You jumped the gun on the happy emoticon....

There you go bringing guns in to the discussion again.
Yup - premature emoticon, that's a yellow flag and 15 yards....
Have a salubrious day,

Now I feel better about step two...
Hey Steamy1! Welcome aboard! You will definitely need to purchase another flux capacitor, and while you’re at it, you might as well upgrade to the 2.0. They won’t cook off your AGM batteries like the 1.0’s did. Happy streaming! [emoji2]

Again what this is all about is the hokey pokey,,,, one step in, one step out, do the hokey pokey and you shake it all about. Do that with your onionballs and it will make them into bloomin onions. Jim, not quite confused but close.

Not the one here in gainesville, fl. Only holds about thirty cars. Tight even for pickups alone. And the shopping center near by does nit allow it.

If you have to stop and get a Bloomin’ Onion in Gainesville FL, just come park your camper at my house, set up for the evening, drive to Gainesville (I’m an hour outside of town, waaaaay out in the sticks) and bring me back an onion and some Sam Adams Rebel IPA as a “Thanks for letting us stay in your yard, Red!” We can light a fire, eat the onion, drink the beer, laugh our arses off, and pick a little guitar, sing a few songs, stay up too late... it’ll be fun.
-Red, stay in my yard he said, it’ll be fun he said...
