Saw this Harley on the back of a 5er yesterday

Here are a couple pics of my setup.
DRV would not add the third axle so I had a local shop do it. The Mor/Ryde Independent Suspension smooths the ride considerably. The tires are Goodyear G114 17.5"
DRV was willing to replace the standard frame that used 1/8" sidewalls with a 15" stacked tube with a frame that has 1/4" sidewalls.
I had to sign an agreement to void the one year frame warranty.
My bike weighs around 650 lbs and I use a camera to keep an eye on the bike while underway.
The Winnebago in the OP's post uses an 8" I beam. With tandem axles and 16" tires he is going to have problems.
Excel used a 10" rectangular tube frame with 1/4" sidewalls and offered the HydraLift, which BTW weighs about 500 lbs, on their shorter trailers. When they did put one on a longer trailer they had severe problems with the frame and slide outs. They stopped offering the lift not long before they went out of business.
Here is a picture of my frame at the factory.
The top bolts holding the crossbar to the frame broke while in Louisiana riding some terrible roads. Fortunately the bottom bolts kept the lift in place while dragging on the road. It was this past Easter Sunday morning and a kind soul stopped, went home for a jack and bolts and we were on our way in a couple of hours. I replaced the 9/16" bolts with 5/8" and keep a close eye on it.
