I notice when I wash the Vegas after each trip the road grime on the sides is worst from the bottom to about halfway up but is thick all the way to the roof on the back panel, I assume due to the vacuum that is created going down the road. I can handle that with a cover I think, and a lift would be better when the wife drives.

Anyone with experience?
We looked at attaching a rear lift to the back of the MH for our Goldwing.

However, as we started looking most dealers that did install them said they could not install on a coach unless you have dual axles at the back.
Also, CW and others told us all the drilling and welding it would take would void any warranty on the coach.

So, I have a closed in trailer we use behind the pick up and I plan to use it with the motor home. Protecting the bike is my first priority. I would never cover the bike and pull it either. All the wind flapping the cover can cause scratching to the paint and chrome.
The lift cost VS pulling the trailer behind settled the issue for me.
