Motorcycle on 5ver.
Anybody tried carrying an 800 lb motorcycle on the back of their 5ver? How did it work? I am wanting to build a hydraulic lift for mine

My situation is very similar to yours in that there are only specific times I want to carry the bike and I prefer my floor plan over those of the toy haulers I've seen.
I feel fairly confident that if I added a third axle with disc brakes the lift would work very well.
Hydralift recommends a third axle too so you're probably correct.
It would require a trip south but you might also consider independent suspension if you haven't already. There may be a 2 "axle" option that could also provide additional frame reinforcements and certainly the disk brakes you want. The supplier already confirmed for me that a tandem option could be set to handle the weight of my heavy trailer and the hydralift. Ultimately I decided against IS because of the travel needed for installation but it remains a viable option.
