Hi Dennis,
I think that's going to be an issue. You'll need to unload and secure your bike at every stop.
We bought a garage model so that we could leave our stuff in the garage when we aren't riding. Most of our trips though are either destination trips where we ride (and unload) or travel trips where we don't take any toys.
On our trip last weekend, the wind was horrible and we couldn't leave to drive home on Sunday night because it was unsafe. It felt pretty amazing to load everything into the garage in the evening and then just hitch up and split the next morning to safely drive home after the wind sat down.
I love your plan to tour and ride, but maybe a bigger hauler would be best. For just a few more feet (like a 26 footer) you could get a front sleeper. Our old FS2600 had the kitchen, bath, and sleeper in front of the toy space. It worked OK if there were just two of us. We couldn't get to our kids' beds or the dining space if we travelled that way though. We could have fit one bike sideways behind the fold-down beds if we wanted.
