I think hydra lift has the moved weight tables. Not sure if I still have them. After axle weighing my coach (no tag) I'm not able to carry my Electraglide on the back. I'm too heavy in the back without it & transferring more weight off the front axle would make it worse. Hope yours works.

Works great, I,m 45ft length, had coach weighted at FMCA, made axle rates. My last CC 36 Allure, only had a 600lb tongue  weight. I reinforced and towed a trailer with 1100 tongue weight.
Good luck finding a solution.
Kelly.

I have a 2003 Allure Tag. with a Cummins 375 ILS  I put a motorcycle carrier on my coach.  It is not as heavy as the hydro lift.  Works great with my 2007 Electra-Glide, and saturn,  Also had bike and trailer with hot rod.  And Bike with a wrangler rolling on 35s.

Went to weight station,  With full fuel, water, propane and all the goodies.  None of my axles where over weight.  Nor was the GVW over.  Rides perfect, and stops perfect.  If not for the camera, you would not even know I have half my life behind this coach...

Mountainmaster Truck Equipment of Phoenix makes an ALUMINUM motorcycle loader for motorhomes, trucks and pickups. Weighs about 200 pounds.

I installed the Hydra-Lift, after studying the different lifts for two years.  I went with Hydra-Lift, even though it cost more than the others because is is superior to all of the competition in my opinion.  I carry a 2012 Harley-Davidson Ultra Limited, which, if you know bikes, is a heavy model.  I tow either my 2006 Ford F250 SuperCab 4x4 Diesel with a Cam Am Outlander Max, which together, weigh 10,000 pounds, and have no issues, or, my wife's 2007 Toyota All Wheel Drive, RAV4.  I would do it all over again as in my opinion, there is no better motorcycle lift on the market.  Not that you need it, but the Hydra-Lift will also carry the Can Am Spyder, or a golf cart, or even a 4-wheeler, such as my Outlander Max.  It is well designed.  My installation was completed in Sumner, WA, when transitioning from my home in Alaska and my winter home in Apache Junction, AZ.  I received the best price, as well as great service at this local shop.  Jim, the owner, was great to do business with.  For what its worth, Country Coach is now a dealer/installer for the Hydra-Lift.

I'm not sure.  It folds up easy and clean, I bought it off Ebay.  I like that my Electirglide when loaded does not sit as high as the Hydro.  I kind of felt the higher the bike is, the more strain on the coach.  Leverage.  Thinking it would be like a pipe on a wrench.  I am not sure if that is fact, or how I feel.  It has a winch that pulls the bike up and down.  I Paid $2000 for the lift and $600 to install.  Here are more pictures.  Its light weight, and I load the bike on, and off by myself with ease.  Cant tell the bike and car are back there.  Bike sits close to the coach.  Good luck, and let us know what you decide.
