I solved the problem by purchasing a used tow dolly, taking it to a local welding shop had the tongue extended 4 ft and square tubing frame built from the dolly's frame(bolted on) and welded to the tongue( approx. 70"x 70"), then a platform for the bike welded across the tongue to each side of the new frame, a ramp hooks on to the end of the platform and in removable when not needed. When loaded the bike and car are approximately 10 inches apart when the turn platform on the dolly hits the stops. I towed it from Missouri to east Tennessee with absolutely no problems and the motorhome drove fine. Guessing the tongue weight with the car and bike on the dolly to be approximately 500 lbs. There is no noticeable lowering of the rear of the motorhome when dolly is loaded. Total cost of dolly with new tires rated at 2180 lbs was 1400.00. Getting ready to have it sandblasted and coated with pickup bed liner.
