I will be buying a new Starcraft Launch Ultra Lite 24 RLS within the next two weeks. I need to add a Class 2 receiver hitch to it to pull a Full Dress Harley on a small trailer, total weight 2000 lbs. or less.
Has anyone actually put on a frame mounted hitch on their TT or 5th wheel like this?
Dealer says they send theirs out to a local muffler shop, no problem...I don't always beleive the dealer especially before the sale..Lol..!!
Several problems with this idea:
1. Page 1-10 in the owner's manual (available on line at Starcraft's website) specifically voids the warranty for "any unauthorized alterations." In another section the manual says, "...problems related to misuse, mishandling, neglect, or abuse..." are not covered under the warranty. Those are vague statements that could include adding the hitch and towing a trailer behind.
2. I doubt that double towing two trailers, both on hitch balls, is legal in most, if not all, states.
3. The total stability could be problematic.
4. Drive ability will also be problematic.
5. You will be exceeding the GVWR of the Starcraft, as the towed motorcycle trailer will be a component of that trailer.
6. It is overall not a good idea.
