Thank you all for your replies, it is a class v hitch on the back of my class mmh. It’s a 2013 sunseeker 25 on a Chevy 4500. I would like to use my existing Thule 2 bicycle T1 rack. I will be carrying a 200 lb Yamaha scooter and 2 bikes with total weight of 50 pounds plus the rack
Any additional insights with this added info?
Aside from hanging the bike rack off the end of a Versahaul (which would be questionable at best, imo) how about putting on a front mounted hitch for the bicycles, and keep the motorcycle on the back?
I'd recommend that you do it the other way around: Hang the bike off the back end using a hitch carrier and install a carrier on the front for carrying a motorcycle.
This approach will much better distribute the dead-weight and leveraged-weight of both items. A Chevy 4500 chassis under only a 25 foot motorhome will have no trouble at all with a motorcycle's weight on the front and steering control should not be affected either.
