Update on the tow dolly modifications: Bought a used tow dolly from an individual for 400.00, took it down to the local certified welding shop and showed him the pic above. He made a couple of suggestions that made sense to me, and they will start on it Monday. They are going to make the frame from the tow dolly(which has to swivel so the car deck will drop)and come straight up and then over to the tongue, fabricate a 12 in X 90 in platform for the bike to ride in(locking wheel chock on order). All frame material will be 3 in square tubing, same a tongue(which will be extended 48 inches). The dolly has 13 in tires on it, but am upgrading to 14 in with 1860 weight rating. All in all when said and done, will have approximately 1300.00 in it. Working on the paint scheme, but think I will have it painted to match the motorhome and car.
estimated weight of car(stated wt 2860)60% on dolly and 800 lb bike, and weight of dolly. Should be approximate 3300 lbs on tires rated for 3600. I think it will work....
