Anyone have experience with a Trike lift on a motorhome?

Hi all, We continue with our researching and planning. We saw Hydra-lift has a Trike lift for 3 wheel motorcycles now. We're wondering if anyone has any experience with these or other systems for traveling with their Trike.

Have a Hydra-Lift on the back of my rig for the past 6 years for carrying motorcycles. Totally awesome, very well engineered, ruggedly built and completely reliable. Have hauled motorcycles all over the creation and cannot imagine a better solution in form or function. After about 5 years the seals got a a little leaky but never interfered with operation. After removing the cylinders myself only cost me $40 dollars cash per cylinder to have seals repaired. Hydra-lift recommends welding the unit to your frame. Instead I had two steel plates welded to the frame and then using 3/4 inch; class 8 bolts, bolted the lift to the plates. Highly recommend this unit. Good luck!

I'm interested in this topic, too. I have a Can-Am Spyder and when I start full-timing, I'll need either a toy-hauler or a trailer to pull with a MH.
They also have Spyder lifts, golf carts, ATVs, etc....
We picked up our HD Triglide a week ago so another piece of the puzzle in place.

If you are interested, here is a link to an earlier RV Dreams discussion that includes a link to pictures of the Hydra-lift and motorcycle mounted on my rig.
