Thank you. :thumb:

My point was that it shouldn't necessarily take a diesel pusher to haul a Harley off the back bumper "IF" gasser is designed correctly. Your toy hauler, while a little...

Metalman, here is motorcycle lift video I was thinking of. Notice how far back the bike rides behind the relatively small motorhome. May be a trailer, can't tell.

No doubt keeping the total weight and height low will help. Having said that, the biggest problem to overcome are weight distribution, and bending stresses on the frame. This last part gets...

Metalman, I'm not sure the photos prove much of anything (at least to me), other than that the motorhomes can support the weight of the motorcycle while parked.

They certainly don't prove these...

I seriously doubt it. My guess is these kind of applications are do-it-yourself for the most part.

One of the biggest problems I see with doing this on Class Cs is that most already have a frame...

The 102" width limit doesn't include mirrors, so wide-body motorhomes have been in that range for years. I honestly don't know whether awning is included. If we allow for doors on either side of...

Many designs place the motorcycle low and...

Just saying an F-53 Ford chassis could easily handle the weight of a heavy motorcycle if motorhome is designed for it -- without the need for much more expensive diesel pusher. GVWR range of 16,000...

Here is one example of a smaller/lighter motorcycle behind a relatively small older Trek. A motorcycle/scooter garage would be even better in my opinion.

If they can make gasoline-powered toy...

I can confirm that bikes (as in relatively expensive bicycles) hauled just behind a motorhome will get filthy. Covering them will help in keeping them clean, but cover can flap a lot at speed. I...
