We are in the process of preparing to "go on the road" for a few years. Currently the 'rig' setup is a 45' Tiffin Coach and my Veloster in tow. I have seen a few coaches with a dual motorcycle lift on the rear and towing a car.

- Is there a motorcycle lift that will accommodate the Spyder?

I know that the weight is not an issue but the 'y-layout' can be. (In fact it such a problem that freakin' Amtrak no longer allows Spyders on the 'car train')

Thanks in advance for any advice you have.

If you use a lift like this it may be too wide. Motor-home is 102" wide, spyder is 105" add some room for the lift and you may be oversize.

Take your trike and the car. Less weight added to the back of the MH. They make with platform up to 10'long. You can also use a 6' platform and run Spyder side to side and i
f length of Spyder is an issue, just angle it up a little to get to the 102"

OR an extension. Just remember that some states have laws as to how far you can extend from the center of your last braked axel. Washington is 15'. Again, if length of Spyder is an issue, just angle it up a little to get to the 102" width of MH.
