With a good brake system for the PU and the bike on a loading system like Fire UP uses I think you will be much happier. Also in the back of the PU the bike is going to stay cleaner.
You will also not be using up a lot of your Cargo Carrying Capacity of the MH which could be as low as 2000 lbs... should be posted behind a cabinet in it or ask the dealer. CCC is how much of your stuff you can add with the MH full of fuel and water and people.
