How do you load/secure mororcycles? Photos?
Hi All. Been looking to move up to a toy hauler. How does everyone secure motorcycles? All I'm seeing is D-rings in the garage floors. I'm mechanically inclined & can do mods.

I bought some tracks from ETrailer.com and they will work out pretty good to secure more important cargo, a occupied electric wheelchair.

The 12" long hardware is secured through the floor to the backing plate underneath, and once installed is really easy to use. Just clip in the hardware to the top where you need it. Then ratcheting tie downs, or straps can be used to hold the handlebars or back of the bikes. Push down on the front of the bike to compress the springs, and tighten, then it will not move around on you.
They also sell a few tie down loops, the $25 kit comes with two loops and two floor mounts.
They also sell kits for the standard rectangular tie down floor system, and 4' long bars that you can attach the hardware to at any point along the way.
They sell a tie down with something like seatbelt material to secure the loads as well.
This "Ericson" tie down is for the rectangular openings of the 4' long track, not the kit shown above. They do not interchange.
My handicap van has seat belt tie downs with auto retractors ($125 a pair) for holding the wheelchair, and fit the track above. It works really well to secure the wheelchair in about 30 seconds! And considering I have to do this 4 times on each trip, it helps to do it quickly.
Have fun camping!
