600 + 200 for a simple rack is going to put 1200 lbs on your rear axle and take 400 off the front. Even without knowing your axle weights... you have weighed your rig??? it's not going to work.
^ correct, it's not going to work. You aren't going to be able to use a 200 pound rack with a 600 pound bike. You are going to need something like an Overbuilt lift, and you're going to have to weld a lot of hitch supports and two more receivers into your motorhome. I'm just guessing, but I can't imagine just the rack and all it's additional parts would be less than 400 pounds. So you're easily talking 1000 pounds hanging off the back of your motorhome. There's a good chance when you lift the bike your front wheels will come off the ground! Okay, probably not that bad, but you will end up with very little weight on the front and lots and lots more weight on the rear axle.
