The Rage PowerSport Steel Motorcycle Carrier MX600, is not rated to be used behind a motorhome or trailer, but we do have a solution for you. The Ultra-Fab Dirt Bike Carrier for Two-Inch Hitches, # UF48-979033, will carry your bike as long as the weight does not exceed 500 lbs. It is 80 inches long and comes with a ramp for easy loading and unloading of your bike. I have included a video review of this product for you.
Should you decide to use a carrier on the back of your trailer, we strongly recommend using a trailer hitch that is welded to your trailer's frame, which is safer than using a bumper-mounted trailer hitch carrying that much weight.
Should you require tie-downs for your bike, I recommend the 1-inch x 18-inch Tie-Down Motorcycle Assist Straps, # 06303. It includes a pair of straps with a safe working load limit of 660 lbs per strap.
