Hydralift motorcycle carrier

I have finally decided after much

and

looking at other alternatives, to add a Hydralift to the back of my 5ver. The Hydralift is designed to be attached to a motorhome or 5ver after stiffining the frame. I looked at so many 5vers, TT, and MH, trying to find a way to haul the Harley and still maintain a 30' overall RV length, I went with the lift.

Forest River has started offering one of their 5vers (Silverback) with the Hydralift as an option. Since my 5ver is a Forest River Cardinal, the choice of the Hydralift was easy. It's not cheap, but compared to the 65K to 165K I was looking at to change out my 3 year old 5ver, the cost of the lift is penny's on the dollar.

I'll get the install done after I return from my trip next week, and post a pic.
