Expert Reply:
The best option would be for you to use a hitch on your trailer, and Curt # 13703 would be a great choice and will fit your travel trailer so long as it has a box frame, I-beam frame or C-channel frame and is between 22" and 72" wide. This hitch has a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 lbs and maximum tongue weight capacity of 350 lbs.
From there you would need to use a dirt bike carrier that is RV approved, light enough to combine with your dirt bike so as not to exceed the tongue weight capacity, but sturdy enough to handle the weight of your dirt bike. We have just the thing available for you with the Ultra-Fab Dirt Bike Carrier # UF48-979033, which you can use with this hitch, weighs just 51 lbs and has a weight capacity of 500 lbs.
I've added links to video reviews of both the hitch and carrier for you to take a look at.
