Greetings! I know this subject has been covered previously, but I can’t find the thread I've read on it. I recently purchased a motorcycle and would like to bring it along while traveling/camping....

800# is a lot of bike. It needs to go into the bed of the truck. The question is how to safely get it up there and what hitch extension will allow you to tow your trailer with the tailgate down or a steel mount to hold the rear of the motorcycle with the tailgate removed.
I agree with that, and of course using a proper ramp that is correctly secured, can literally make this a drive up proposition. And as for support, as I suggested earlier, I would not hesitate to have the back of the bike sitting on a steel channel bolted to the floor of the bed. That is my plan for taking my sportbike in my truck, because it just hangs out past the bed by about 6 inches. In my case, the floor of the truck has two "utilitraks" in the floor, so I will fab a channel piece that can be bolted into the utilitrak.
