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 had my Pace Arrow 33v checked and was told I would have to install the 3 point hitch system or weld everything to the frame(and maybe have to extend the frame. I did a lot of research and decided that I didn't want to invest the kind of money(3-6,000)plus install, depending on the brand you buy. Hydra-lift is the best, but made mostly for diesel pushers. I was told gas rigs just don't have the frame or suspension to safely carry a 800 lb bike + weight of lift. I just had a tow dolly modified to haul my Harley and car.
Good advice.
I had a similar question regarding my 35 ft diesel pusher. The total weight limits were not a problem and the frame could take the three receivers discussed above, but the total weight hanging out there behind the rear bumper was just too much to justify. ( I already had Tork Lift install the two additional receivers and even bought a hauler that uses all three receivers.)
So, I haven't hauled the bike. If I was going to, I think I'd get a small trailer.
