New pup owner - haul dirt bike?

I'm very new to this site AND to the travel trailer world...could really use some advice.
We just bought a 2018 Wolf Pup 16BHS Limited. We will use our 2004 Hummer H2 to pull the travel trailer. But how do we haul our dirt/street bike? It's a 2013 Yamaha XT250 (290lbs). The Wolf Pup didn't come with a cargo rack, but that is an option for that model; but it probably has weight limit of 200. Would we have to pull a motorcycle trailer too?
Any help would be greatly appreciated....

Welcome to the forum its a great place to get your questions answered. One option my be to mount a motorcycle carrier to the hummer and use an extended hitch for the trailer. the tongue weight of the pup is somewhere around 350 lbs.

Thank you so much! I was wondering about that. Any thoughts as to where to get the extended hitch? Store or online?

The extended stinger you need will depend on how far and how high the motorcycle carrier is mounted on the hummer if you go that route. I think I would get one figured out first prior to buying additional equipment. JMHO

If the bike is less than 8 feet wide you could put a front receiver on the Hummer and mount the bike sideways in front.
