Motorcyle rack behind trailer?

I have a 1998 Rockwood Ultralight 24 footer.

I own a motorcycle that weights 400 lbs. I have seen local stores that sell racks that go into a 2 inch receiver that are for hauling a motorcycle.

Anyone ever do this? Would it be safe to do?

    Putting that much weight on the back of your TT will take you to the scene of the accident... way too much weight off the tongue before the bouncing broke the hitch and put the cycle on the ground.

    I never read the full application of it, just saw it in a store and wonder about using it. What if it does not say that?
