opinions on hanging a dirtbike off the back?
This is no problem for a class A motorhome, I see it all the time. But what about a hitch receiver on back a 10000+gvw fifth wheel with a bike lift and say 350-400 lbs of dirtbike? Gotta consider ...

Of course a lot depends on the strength of your 5th wheel frame. But something like the Idaho Tote is going to add more weight to the back of your 5th wheel than a single dirt bike. My Smart Trailer added about 600 lbs. to the rear of my 5th, but removed only about 100 lbs. off the hitch weight.
I think my main concern would be securing the bike so it doesn't move around and the handlebars don't pound on the back of the 5th wheel. And having a remote camera back there is always a good idea. Hate to get to your destination minus the bike. :)
