wheelbase consideration and motorcycle lift
Is anyone using one of the motorcycle lifts on the rear of their MH? If so, how does it work and what size is your MH. I'm talking about the elec or hyd model that will carry a full size touring bik...

Thanks for these encouraging words, if you can carry 1200 pounds on this MH, I should be able to carry the 400 pound scooter plus 200 for the rack. My carrier will fit in two receivers that I got welded on the existing hitch. The aluminum ramp will be sliding with roller under the carrier. Everything will be finished with checker plates.
Also, I went to see a big truck suspension shop today and they did replace those arm before on MH. They do pretty well all the big suspension job on MH and big rigs. He said he can inspect them and reinforce the trailing arm with plate on each side. This shop has a very good reputaion in the area and have been in business for over 20 years. This was not a surprise to him when I told him that these MH arms are cracking, he said that trailing arm cracking happens on any other vehicle and big trailer and they fix them regularly.
I think that if they are not already cracked, they will not crack when reinforced, he explained to me how he welds the plates and it will be no problem. He figures around 5 to 6 hours for the complete job at $75.00 an hour.
