Motorcycle carrier On Hitch

(If anybody out there's ever actually tried this, please share your experiences with us, because we always enjoy good adventure stories).

The 2 truck solution has a lot of promise. But to scale this up properly maybe what you really need is a proper 5 ton box truck for a tow vehicle. Or, even better, get one of those flat bed tow trucks, set the TrailManor up there so that the shells will have room to open and close, and then you'd be able to tow a big toy hauling trailer behind ("Watch out for that last step to the ground, Honey, it's a long one!").

I have reached the same conclusion you did regarding the hitch extensions. I would also like to hear stories of experience. The cost is too high to just spend the money to try it out to see if it works.

For my current needs/wants/desires I can get by with a pair of 3/4 ton crew cab trucks. One has the 8 foot bed but the other one only has a 6.5 foot bed. With 5 adults that is enough. Now if we ever have grand children then I might need to modify this.
