Pulling a Motorcycle Trailer behind my Travel Trailer

I am. My Class A also covers RV towing. Better read the fine print.

Additionally, Michigan does not recognize triple trailers at all no matter what configuration even though I do hold a Michigan triples endorsement. I run breakup doubles here. A trains and B trains. The A train is a set of doubles with a pintle type connection and a B train is the lead has a stinger with a fifth wheel attached that you can actually back up if you know what you are doing.

An A train would be similar to say a set of UPS doubles with a converter dolly for the rear trailer with a pintle hook on the lead that the dolly hooks to (very similar to having a ball hitch on your rear bumper).

Thanks for all the input. Yes, I know I cannot back up and not to use a bumper hitch. Sounds like I would just be best to get a hydraulic lift I have been looking at designed to put it in the back of my truck. I wanted a fifth wheel/tow hauler but could not find anything that would fit in my garage, what I got I actually had to take the spare off to fit it in the garage. I also totally forgot about the states with the laws on total length and piggy back towing. I don't have a problem with weight limits or towing capacity so I would be OK. Thanks again.

There are a lot of options. One that I like is the Rampage. It's a platform that winches out of the bed to the ground making it easy to strap the bike down after loading it into the flip chock.
To me a lot of it depends on how much money do you want to spend.
Here's a link to the video.

There is a lot of "pin" talk but with practice and knowledge to what each pin location accomplishes it should come easy. It probably would help to practice with a bicycle if you're extra cautious.

Nice! This may be a great option for the OP. He can load the bike without the tailgate and probably not need an extended shank on his WDH.
