Motorcycle on back of Travel Trailer
Hi Folks, I'm looking to hear about your experience with loading motorcycles or heavy objects on the back of your Travel Trailer. I'm figuring out options to transport my Honda Africa Twin (~575...
Forum Discussion
I'm SMH over what tow vehicle payload has to do with carrying a motorcycle on the back of a trailer, which would be taking weight away from tow vehicle payload?
As far as if it can be done or not, it can with some common sense, and most likely some reinforcement. It also is not a sure thing that it's going to cause sway, the apocalypse, or anything else.
That's all just opinion and sway fear mongering. God forbid you load toys in a toy hauler or gear and food in a rear kitchen unit, or you may stop the Earth from rotating and we'll all go spinning off into space LOL.
It's the same every time the question is asked in any RV forum, and I've seen the same BS comments / answers to the question at least 100 times in the last 10 years. Amazingly I have now carried in excess of 450 lbs on a rear platform attached to bumper mounted receivers on 3 different trailers, two altered / reinforced, and one stock, without having an issue. It does however take a little common sense and knowledge concerning what a frame, bumper, and a welded connection is capable of.
I'll save someone the trouble. Here is the picture that gets downloaded from the net almost every time and posted on RV forums when a rear bumper question comes up LOL.
