Looking at all options. Class C maybe?

Wife and I travel every summer on our Harley. We love it. We would like to enhance the experience by adding a way to load up the bike and travel to our destination allowing us to push to further destinations thanks to my wife being able to share driving responsibilities. We would also like to start camping instead of staying in hotels/motels. We do not need anything extravagant. We would like to have enough room for a couple people to join us. So here is the dilemma.

Do we purchase a truck and buy a toy hauler/camper to pull behind it? Or, is a Class C motorhome the answer?


We aren't sure what to do, so many options. A bit overwhelming. I come to you for wisdom!

Help us make the right choice.

    a toy hauler motorhome, A or C would be ideal IMHO. don't have the trailer to mess with.

Ours technically can sleep six adults, but we have never had more than two. Then again ours is only 24' long. If you got a longer one with a bed in the back you should be good for four or more. We found that getting one with a slide makes a huge difference, especially if you go the smaller rather than larger route. Also find that the shorter one handles the extra load without a problem and handles very good even with the trailer attached.

    Hope this helps.


    Sounds like we are in the market for pretty much what you have lol.

    WOW! Speedy responses. Looks like this is a viable option for us. Looking forward to learning about these options. Thank you for sharing.

    Let me just add that if we went Class C motorhome we would want a trailer that could pull 2 bikes in case we had company to join us.

    I like the Haulmark low 7x12 v nose enclosed trailer. I would need a Class C that could comfortably pull one of those with 2 loaded baggers.

    A Class C with a trailer like One Of These would work out well. A small Class C would do just fine and still be big enough for a couple or two and would tow the Bikes too.

    I have a friend that does just that and really has a good time exploring on his Harley then having a nice base camp to come back to and have a meal,a warm bed then head out and do it again.

    Both would be fine. Right now I think a C with a trailer that you could transport the bike, and other items to free up space.

    Hello, my opinion, if you going to ride when you get to your destination, I would go with a c plus a two bike trailer.
