Toy Hauler mounting ideas

Steve38 · 08-05-2011, 07:53 PM

I am in the process of setting up the garage in our XLR 27HFS.
So far one mount for the R1. Looking at installing some left over E track and a Harbor Freight drive on wheel chock.
here is a pic of the Pittbull system. Only the flat base plate is bolted to the floor.
Please share your ideas with pics. I am always looking for a better way!

We carry two motorcycles in the cargo area of our Toy Hauler. We did not want to add any permanent mounts or track to the floor since it is also our bedroom. We ended up buying two condor chocks which are stable without mounting them. We then use ancra tie downs on the front and back slightly compressing the suspension. This has worked well for us.

Enjoy your toy hauler!

Cut some E track today. Going to install when this darn heat wave breaks. This heat is brutal.

Those PitBull mounts are the cats meow but a tad on the spendy side for me as i have three different bike that i haul around. I second the drive in chock and a couple straps to either E track or the tie down points already in the trailer.

I am updating my previous post concerning my condor chocks. After 9 months of use, we made the decision to add mounting brackets. This will allow us a better and more secure tie down. Unsecured, the chock for my Honda ST 1100 moved slightly on bumpy roads. When removed, we have a small mounting plates on the floor we will put our rug over.

Here are pictures of the condor chocks and the attachment bracket. It features a quick release using keyhole slots and one thumb screw. We paid to have the brackets mounted since the 100 gallon fresh water tank had to be dropped.

Would like to ask what you used to secure the brackets with.

We just got a Vengeance 306V and are going to use the the condor checks for our Honda VTX's.

Thanks in advance.

Mounting kits for condor chocks are available from the manufacturer. They include the brackets, hardware, and a metal plate that is installed on the bottom of the floor. The bolts that were provided were not long enough for the XLR toy hauler so we replaced them.

Linnemj, thank you. Are the bolts used a lag bolt or did you need to get access to the "basement" to secure them with nuts on the bottom side?

Thanks again.

Since our 100 gallon fresh water tank was mounted directly under our garage, we hired a local independent RV service to install our condor mounts. I believe he used a specialized bolt but not sure what type. The system works great and the bikes are very secure in the garage as we travel.
