opinions on hanging a dirtbike off the back?
This is no problem for a class A motorhome, I see it all the time. But what about a hitch receiver on back a 10000+gvw fifth wheel with a bike lift and say 350-400 lbs of dirtbike? Gotta consider ...

Have two 2" receivers welded to the frame rails... One in the middle will not hold 600 lbs very long. Forget a lift and make a ramp that pivots on the left receiver tube that needs to be 4 feet long for tying the handlebars down. Manually lift the back of the ramp up and put a 2 foot long receiver tube under it in the right receiver. You will need a second person to tie the front tire to the upturned front of the ramp and then to help you lift the back up once you have the handlebars tied down.
By lowering one end of th 8' long ramp to the ground it's fairly easy to get the bike up the ramp as you can control it from the ground. A 5er has so much excess tongue weight that putting 600 pounds on the back will not affect the handling unlike a travel trailer which might get squirrley if you did this.
