Everyone - thanks for the absolutely superb feedback. After taking all of these comments into account, I'll be installing the OverBilt lift (got to stick with them - good product made by local folks). This will be pending what I hear back from Winnebago's engineers.
I was wrestling between this and a trailer, mainly because a trailer will keep my Gold Wing nice and clean, but a trailer presents it's own set of problems (backing, blowouts that can go unnoticed until it's too late to recover, lousy"special" trailer tires that are limited to 65 mph and have a reputation for blowouts, higher toll road fees, campsite storage, etc).
The general comments here indicate that these lifts are a good solution, the OverBilt people think there is no problem, the Itasca dealer thinks there is no problem and I'm expecting Winnebago to come back with the same.
Thanks again for all of the very detailed information!
