Expert Reply:
I would not recommend carrying a motorcycle with a hitch mounted motorcycle carrier on your 1984 Pace Arrow motor home. According to Fleetwood, your motor home has a maximum tongue weight capacity of 350 lbs. Your motorcycle and a motorcycle carrier will exceed the tongue weight capacity and could damage the motor home frame.
Instead, I recommend using a small utility trailer and mount a wheel chock like part # TWSPWM. This would be the safest way to transport your motorcycle and it would still fall withing the tongue weight and towing capacity of your motor home. I also recommend the Erickson Motorcycle Tie-Downs, # EM05729.
