    We are buying an ARI Sleeper and want to take a small lightweight motorcycle with us to use in the places where we have a few days. Does anyone do this and how? Tie it up on the back of the cab? Is this legal? Thanks! :biggrin_2558:

    Your buying a ARI sleeper and your a student?????

    What do you pull?

    Is weight an issue?

    It would be legal as long as its properly secured....

    I've been thinking the same thing, but didn't know how "legal" and accepted it was.
    being not a O/O it poses issues.

    I though of a bolt on ramp, and a bolt on piece of metal across the frame, tie it down as you would in a pick up. But not sure about if its legal or ok to do.

    Here's a link to how these happy campers do it.

    Of course their fifth wheel is converted and they've got a lift, but it might give you some starter ideas.

    If you're buying the ARI new, they probly have dealt with this idea before.
