motorcyclist Report post Posted July 9, 2014 Any suggestions on carrier for Super C (engine up front) . I understand that if it is not designed for motorhomes because of constant up/down motion the unit will suffer potential problems. I'm looking to carry a scooter or a motorcycle which weighs around 350/400 lbs. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hypoxia Report post Posted July 9, 2014 A 400 lb bike will need a lift. I use an Overbilt which weighs 300 lbs, there are a number of manufacturers out there. It will require two receivers to be welded on the camper. You need to calculate the weight addition, 700 lbs that far behind the axle may surprise you. Regardless of your feelings about possibly overloading the rear axle you definitely do not want to exceed the tire weight ratings. Add up the rear tire weight rating as labeled on the sidewall; 4 tires times the weight rating-do not exceed that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sailwing Report post Posted July 9, 2014 First use this Blue Ox website and down load their page on how to figure the weight that you are adding to the coach, the rear axle and more. If you are within the safe working loads then figure out what might work. Lifts are nice, to flat load the bike, ramp loading is for smaller bikes, or bigger people than myself. http://www.blueox.com/Uploads/Docs/carriercalculation.pdf I have a Blue Ox Sport Lift for sale, that mounts on 3 2" recievers and lowers to the ground for safe loading, will lift 1000#, and flat tow 5000#. I enjoyed having a toad and the bike, but have sold the last bike and changed coaches. The lift goes next.
