hydralift on travel trailer

So I am new to this travel trailer living. Question for all of you. I am trying to outfit a 33ft. travel trailer with a hydralift so that I can transport my motorcycle. I'm not a fan at all of Toy Haulers. Is it possible to mount/install the hydralift or comparable motorcycle lift onto the back of a travel trailer? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for all the input. Looks like I will be putting the motorcycle in the truck bed.

    The only chassis I'd trust is one built by Northwoods (aka Arctic Fox, Outdoors RV). And as mentioned you'd still have problems with too little tongue weight, unless you also added some ballast (a bank of 8D batteries could do it).
