Question:
My husband and I would like to travel for about a month this summer and want
to take his 500 lb. motorcycle along. We currently have a Starcraft pop-up
and a Ford F150 truck with a cap. Did I also mention 2 medium size dogs?
We have looked at toybox type trailers but haven't found any in our price
range ($3000 to 4000). Does anyone have any other good ideas? Have
considered trying to find ramps for the cycle to be put in the back of the
truck but then we lose the cap. Any way to mount the motorcycle on the back
of the truck (like a bicycle) and still pull the pop-up?
Answer:
I just sold the 7 X 12 X 7' high cycle trailer, have the 1999 merc
mountaineer with tow package up for sale. I could take the wing or the car
but not both. Not what I wanted for 3 month winter trip.
I use a 37' Fleetwood motor(ized) home with 2 slide outs as the winter home,
I just bought a 1987 Ford F150 with 8' box and am going to sell the topper
that came with it.
I ride the goldwing from a retaining wall in my front yard across the ramp
into the pickup use the tie downs, connect the pickup to the motor home and
put the cover on the bike..... I am ready to go... You don't want to
load and unload the bike a lot is the disadvantage, my wing is over 850
lbs...
Northern tool has a fiberglass ramp for 75.00 that would work great for a
500lb bike.
