Toy hauler fails

Hello, everyone. Very new here. Looking at getting into the RV lifestyle. My wife and I have different wants. She wants a class C. I want a 5th wheel TH so we can take our MC with us and have a vehicle to drive around when we unhook. One of our friends bikes came loose and fell over while going down the road and did a "little" damage. I said the bike wasn't tied down good enough and no, no chock was used for the front tire to stabilize the bike. How many of y'all have had MC's fall over or the chock fail, like she says will happen.
Thank you. I look forward to a long life here.

I recently had a tie down fail which let my Goldwing lean over with no damage. This was after 3 hours on a very rough highway, and after 5 years and hauling it 42,000 miles, so I didn’t feel too bad. If you use a good chock and tie down carefully, you’ll have no problem!

You know what they say, if Momma isn't happy...

So here is a possible option. Tandem Tow Dolly

I use a Condor Chock for my Harley and never had a failure. My buddy had his Harley tip over with the Condor but he didn't have his Condor anchored to the floor like I do.

We haul two bikes in our toyhauler and have never had one come loose. We use Condor chocks and they hold the bike very securely. The front straps are not very tight at all, but the rear ones are snugged down tighter, not suspension flattening tight, but enough that they don't move around.

No issues.
