I want to buy a 2500 truck, 30 ft f/w and somehow pull my GoldWing motorcycle

All the RV dealerships I went to this summer were advertising their new motorcycle lifts. They attach to the back of a Motorhome or 5th wheel, lower to the ground so that you can ride your bike onto it, then lift up so it's out of the way. They are designed not to interfere with your spare tire or latter. The price tag up here in Calgary, Alberta was $2000 to $3000 CDN. installed.
Any dealership should have info for you.

Good Luck

Check with your DMV. In CA you can have a trailer behind a 5er. There is a maximum length. If it is only motorcycles, you may consider a 5er with a rear garage. Less worry when it comes to parking, turning etc. And the garage turns into a bedroom if needed!

A f/w toyhauler, I saw one last week, real cool setup.

Couple of things. I agree with ntrsandman - check with DMV. Some states will allow a triple - truck plus5ver+tow, many do not> Oreegon does not.

About the 2500 truck - check weights very carefully. Both the towing capacity of the truck and the loaded weight of the 5ver. My Silverado 2500 has a towing capacity of 10,000 Lbs and I pull a 29' 5ver - loaded it weighs 9,500 lbs. If you are going to somehow add a motorcycle that will also impact the size of truck you need. Good Luck.

I too am wanting to take my bike with me and am thinking of investing in a receiver hitch on the back of my F/W. Just hate to drop that kind of $ on this rig. (36RL Montana with 3 slides) They'd have to cut through the end cap (no rear bumper) and install a hitch. I might rather buy a Toy Hauler. Some of them are very nice and not just a week-ender for you and your 4 wheeler buddies. Plus it keeps you bike out of sight and out of the weather.

I see guys pulling F/W's with boats behind them all the time.

I can tell you this, I've pulled (with a F-350 4 dr dully) a Gooseneck Stock trailer, with 5 horses in it and a 19' T/T behind that. It was my first time to try anything like this and it went great. I pulled it about 300 miles to a Park and then back home. Keep in mind everytime you leave the road and go to park though, you ain't going to back up. Always look before pulling into some place. Also your middle trailer must be heavier than the tail trailer. Which shouldn't be a problem for you, with your tail trailer being a bike trailer. As for turns, with the F/W, it will work very well. Just keep a watch in your mirrows.

You must check with you state laws about overal lengh and tradum pulling. Look it up on-line.

I'll be looking for you on the road. d:^)
