Motorcycle trailer for Class C

I just bought my first Class C RV (Bigfoot). Drove from CA to NC by myself! Yay and made it no issues.

I have a Vespa 300 (350 lbs) and a Townie bicycle (35 lbs) so togther lets round up to 400 lbs of weight for both and I would like to haul both with me. I need help in figuring out what to purchase and what would be the best and easiest loading on/off scenario for me. I wanted the LIFT type but I'm afraid its too much weight for the RV. Anyone have good recommendation for what to use? Any thoughts on light weight trailers? My fear is that the trailer will be bouncing all over the road.

    I used a trailer hitch motorcycle carrier for a older vespa type scooter on my Class C 30 footer and never felt it being there. A few extra pounds in my air bags to level the coach and it was fine. I now carry a Honda Ruckus, same thing.




    I fabricate steel items, I could not build this myself for the cost. I did ditch the ramp and use a wooden one as the belly of my Ruckus would hit when loading, not the scooter though.The cost to bend a new ramp was more than the cost of the carrier. I made a few mods for the Ruckus because it sits lower on the short tires. I inspected all the welds and construction and I give it a "good purchase" seal.
