"Did you look at that hitch helper link? What are your thoughts?"
Interesting idea and it does seem to take the excess weight off of the rear end of the RV but...
Not sure about loading a bike on that thing. You would have to ramp up high enough to clear the tires and that is a lot of vertical in a short horizontal distance. :h
I just finished replacing the 2X8's that I bolted onto the deck of my Kendon with 2x12's to give me more room for my boots as I friction zone/walk/drive the bike up onto the trailer. {You can see the 2X8's were to narrow in this old photo}. Keep in mind that the Kendon is very low and thus easy to safely load even when you are alone.
Going to the 2X12's gives me plenty of room for my boots as I transition onto the trailer from the ramp/boards. {The lower boards alongside the metal ramp are 2X12's}
We are headed up to Moab next week and I'll be towing the Harley behind our C once again. Plan to set up in an RV park and ride all of the adjacent National Parks (Arches, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef etc}, probably one a day. Having a nice Harley for a TOAD is awesome!
