How to haul a Dirt Bike behind a TC???

I'm wondering if anyone has found or has fabricated a Hitch Stinger Trail Bike Carrier for behind a Truck Camper that will allow access into the back of the camper without removing the Dirt Bike from the rack. Its 20 inches from the Stinger edge to the back edge of the camper. I have a long draw bar solid steel stinger that I use for the Harley Trailer.

I know this is asking a lot. I just don't want to haul my HARLEY Trailer if I can find a way to haul the Honda CRF250L on the back of the camper.

We are headed to southern Utah on Tuesday....WhooHoo....darn without the trail bike.

HAPPY TC'ing everyone,
Gary & Laurii

  • Front hitch. The hitches are rated at 500#...which should be enough for a 250...
  • I found putting my XR400 on the front was the most convenient. Even though i could put it on the back it was a pain there. Also i usually wanted to tow something.

  • Put it on the front bumper with bolt on oval racks for the tires.


    Front bumpers on trucks these does don't have the capability to accommodate installing those olcd school carriers that trucks of the 60s, 70s and 80s could use. There's also fascias in the way that would prevent installing any type of clamp on device to the bumper.
    Then there's the issue of the bike blocking the visibility as well as the headlights, even if you "could" carry it up front.
