QUESTION: I have an Aliner RV trailer that I would like to attach to the VersaHaul motorcycle rack. As I understand your information, that while the rack has a receiver hitch out the back side, it really isn’t intended to have a trailer with any tongue weight attached to it. Right? I could load the trailer so the tongue weight is pretty low. However, I’ve also read that for best stability in towing a trailer, it is advised that at least 10% of the trailer weight be tongue weight. What can you tell me.

ANSWER: Yes, you can tow a trailer behind the carrier. If you are towing a trailer with tongue weight then you should not exceed the carrying capacity of the carrier. So if you use the VH-55 RO carrier with a vehicle using a 500 lbs class hitch and your bike weighs 300 lbs and the Versahaul weighs 100 lbs then 100 lbs of tongue weight is remaining to tow a trailer behind the carrier.
