Motorcycle and car on a flat bed trailer

[f6ber]

Thanks Angelbones, it's nice to hear from some who is actually doing what I am planning. I am not great at planning ahead but it sounds like I will have to change my ways lol.
Thanks again

I did weigh it using a CAT scale. My GTWR was 5700#. My coach was 20,000# rear and 10,000# up front. I was very happy about the trailer weight since that included car, bike, and trailer. Plus, my coach is rated at 32,400 GVWR, and 39,900 GCWR so I have about a ton to spare. (Although I'm trying to lighten as I go)

Two other things to note. Despite the extra weight, my diesel mpg has not been affected too much. Also, surprisingly to me anyway, is that it drives so much smoother with the trailer. Certainly need to pay constant attention, but less bouncy.

(Side note on my original post. I didn't proofread it so I hope it makes some sense. Damn autocorrect. )

Thanks for the weight. I was expecting the combination would be much higher than that.

When I pull my car trailer I usually have to unhook it or stay in the overflow camping. I don't mind the overflow and if we stay for more than a night unhooking is fine as well.
