Motorcycle Lift on Sunstar 26P
I have a Itasca Sunstar 26P Class A motorhome and a Goldwing motorcycle (about 1000 pounds). I would like to know if I can put a hydraulic lift on the back of the motorhome for the Goldwing. Camping...

I'm pretty certain your Class III hitch has a tongue weight limit of 500lbs. IMHO, you're better off using a small trailer for a m\c of that size and weight.
He said he was using a hydraulic lift, the hitch has nothing to do with it.
I looked under my 26P and there is some beef back there to mount a lift to. If you get the 35% weight up front like Ford says it should work pretty good. However, I have had my 26P fully loaded with food, tools, supplies, water and gas and it came in at 16,200 lbs. I believe your Sunstar is pretty much identical to my Vista and they are rated at 16,000 lbs so you will most likely be overweight.
