Motorcycle Carrier For Motorhome Application
Question:
Queston. I have a 45foot diesel pusher motorhome with a 20,000 lb hitch. I am wondering if you sell a motorcycle carrier that i can mount to the MH hitch and still be able to flat tow my jeep with my blue ox towbar. is this possible?

Expert Reply:
For your motorhome, it is not recommended to use an accessory like a motorcycle carrier. Our heaviest carrier states it cannot be used on a motorhome or trailer.
The practical fit depends largely on the weight of your motorcycle. You can use the Curt Dual 2" Receiver Tube Adapter, 8" Extension # D-192 but it will reduce your hitch's tongue weight capacity by 50% and this attachement has a combined capacity of 350 lbs. Then you can use the Etrailer Motorcycle Carrier for 2" Hitches - 500 lbs # e98873 which has a weight of just over 58 lbs. If everything combined falls within that 50% capacity it will work.
