Nice looking set up and certainly more maneuverable than with our 12 foot trailer for the motorcycle. I wonder if the driver notices any difference in handling with the bike on the back? I wouldn't consider that lift for our F53 chassis. I suspect there would be a see-saw effect and possibly more wear on tires, suspension, rear wheel bearings, etc. Transferring that much weight to the rear end might also reduce front wheel braking efficiency because less weight will be applied to the front end.

I'd like to hear from someone who has carried a large motorcycle on the back of an RV with a F53 chassis.
