> Tongue weight depends on the tongue!! What brand is the hitch? One > brand's max will be 200#, another 500#. It all depends. The brand I was considering is http://www.mototote.com/ which is rated to 500#. Any way I slice this I see putting 425# + hanging off of one end of the van or another. I will probably trailer the bike rather than abuse a van that has been very good to me. My ultimate goal was to be able to camp and then take the Enfield out for a scoot around the Texas hill country without having a trailer to contend with. |
