Motorcycle Carrier Recommendation Rated for Use Behind RV
Question:
Hi there, Im looking to install an RV bumper hitch. The purpose of this would be for a hitch mounted motorcycle hauler dirt bike. The bike weighs about 250lbs. Would I be okay going with a bolt on option, or would you recommend welded?

Expert Reply:
For the weight of a motorcycle and carrier I'd recommend finding a welder/fabricator in your area to make you a reinforced hitch setup for the rear of your RV. That will be the best option our RV multi-fit hitches won't be ideal for that much weight on a carrier.
For an RV rated motorcycle carrier though we have the the Ultra Fab carrier part # UF48-979033 which has a 500 lb capacity. For tie-downs you may also be interested in the part # 317-412080.
