Toy hauler question
#41
If it were me, I'd look for a 5th wheel hauler under 5,000 #s. The advantages of gooseneck over bumper hitch are huge.

Pulled my 24' Playmor toy hauler for several years with my Expedition-no issues.
The SUV had a 9,200 GW max and the Tow Package and Tow/Haul option which helps with sway if things get scary. Also upgraded the Expedition tires and rims with heavier load tires and also did the same on the rig just for piece of mind. Prodigy 2 brake controller and hitch stabilizer and was smart with distributing the weight. Ran one bike, but could have run 2 if need be. Also hauled tool box, generator, accessories, etc...

Let me preface this by saying I detest trailer hauling my bike anywhere. It's all about the ride for me. I hated Sturgis purely because of that reason. The wife and I are going back and we are riding.
A good friend of mine has one of those $80K grand palace triple axle best of everything toy haulers and it's still cheap flimsy crappy RV construction.
If I had to travel and take my living quarters with and wanted to take my bike as well I would rather have something like a Haulmark or Wells Cargo, and take the time and effort to make it into a hauler with living space rather than waste money on an RV platform.
Just my .02
