These lifts are not good for "gasser" motorhomes. Weights of the bike, lift itself plus the height when traveling can (and probably will) overload the rear axle...then you got problems.
DPs can mostly handle things.
My motorhome...when researching this (I have a 750 pound Harley "dresser", i found i was within 300 pounds of my rear axle limit (OK....JUST OK) but I would LOSE 600+ pounds off my front-end. So.....can't afford a DP, when i want the bike at my destination, I put it on a trailer.
I have the formula for weights somewhere around....if you want it, PM me...and if I can find it, will PM you back.
