Recently a post on HDTalking.com caught our attention. A travel enthusiast was trying to find the best way to transport his Harley with his fifth wheel trailer.

One possible solution he was considering was to put a carrier into the receiver “hitch on rear tow of vehicle” that the bike would actually sit on. A 600-700 lb bike is a lot of weight aft of rear axle when most vehicles have class III hitches and a carrying weight of 500 lbs.

Another option under consideration was to tow a trailer behind the fifth wheel camper trailer which not only makes it extremely difficult to drive (seriously…towing a trailer behind your camper trailer and vehicle is just crazy!), but also can present significant structural issues such as putting too much stress on the frame of your vehicle which can reduce your pin weight or bend your hitch or frame.

There is very little room for error when you are either towing a trailer behind a fifth wheel RV or hitching your bike to the rear of your camper. Worst case scenario you can wreck, lose your bike, or a combination of both! If you have the need for a fifth wheel and also need to travel with your bike, you may want to consider a toy hauler trailer instead.

A toy hauler camper can give you the best of both worlds. At Phoenix Coach Works we combine the best in RV luxury with custom amenities such as:

  • A bathroom that contains a shower, vanity, toilet, and remote electric fan.
  • A full kitchen with a 2 burner cook top with fan, microwave oven, sink, and a 2.5 cu.ft refrigerator freezer.
  • Other toy hauler amenities include thermostatically controlled a/c & heat, hot water heater, electrical outlets, ample lighting, and large windows for ventilation.
  • And for your motorcycles, our toy hauler trailers feature a spring assist fold down ramp and extension, along with recessed tie downs, making the loading and unloading of your bikes a snap.

If you need a place to stay as well as a means to transport your bike, the Phoenix Coach Works toy hauler travel trailer is the perfect solution for safe travels for your bike and your family.

Phoenix Coach Works bike RV’s are perfect for transporting your Harleys to shows and rallies because we have custom designed our toy hauler campers with HOG’s in mind. This clearly differentiates us from most toy hauler manufacturers that build campers that have been modified to carry an ATV or bike. These modified campers sit up very high, making it unsuitable to carry Harley’s because of the steep ramp.

At Phoenix Coach Works, our motorcycle RV’s are built as a cargo trailer first, ready to endure hard everyday use as opposed to the occasional weekend out. We build reliable, light weight, low maintenance toy hauler trailers that are perfect for the Harley owners who ride hard all day and just want to use the trailer for relaxing and sleeping.

With the right amount of amenities to make your toy hauler camper feel like a home away from home, the durability of a cargo trailer, and ramp specifications that are custom designed for ease of loading your Harley – there is no better bike RV to help HOG’s get to the next bike rally. With the Sturgis bike rally coming up in August you may want to consider putting in your order now so you have a custom Harley bike RV for the biggest bike rally of the year.
