While I'm still fishing for lightweight toad suggestions with another post, I now would like to know people's experiences carrying a motorcycle using the rear hitch. Here's a sample product: http://www.discountramps.com/moto-tote-motorcycle-carrier/p/MTX3/?CID=PSC-PLA-Google-MTX3-motorcycle-carriers&st-t=google-motorcycle-carriers&vt-pti=106909108353&vt-k=&vt-m=&CAWELAID=820562990000010292&CAGPSPN=pla&CAAGID=23055663982&CATCI=pla-106909108353&gclid=CjwKEAjw9_jJBRCXycSarr3csWcSJABthk07IkyT9zEPg1FCaEVvAV0btpBMf9k3bqY4PBawB5UZZRoC7x3w_wcB
I just bought an '01 Winnebago Brave 30W, and there's a lot of space between the rear wheels and the bumper. What has your experience been? I would limit myself to 450 lbs including hitch.
Much of this depends on the size and weight of the motorcycle you plan on hauling. A small one, like say a Yamaha TW 200, hovers around 275 lbs., plus or minus. I've hauled our Goldwing on a lift on the back of our coach, a Hydralift to be more specific but, that's right at 900 lbs and, I don't think that's what you're looking for with your coach.
There are a few ways and carriers. To use a single receiver is not the best idea. It's way smarter to utilize a three-point system. That is, us three receivers back there. You'll get way better stability and, you'll be able to haul a toad with more confidence when using that approach.
