Motorcycles ride piggyback on this RV

David and Sue McCarron have been full time RVers four years. They love touring local areas they visit using their motorcycles. Since they each have their own motorcycle they had their tow body built so they could store both motorcycles behind the cab of their Volvo semi-truck towing vehicle. Here you can see the built-in motorcycle racks.An electric wench attached to a swing arm allows David to load and offload the motorcycles easily.He uses cargo straps attached to the handle bars and to eye-bolts. He removed the passenger pegs on his motorcycles and attached the rear eye-bolts. The harness comes together at a central point where the cargo straps are attached. David lowers the bikes with a hand-held push button wench control.The tow body has plenty of storage like these drawers. It also has cabinets and utility boxes. The tow body was made by Herrin in Kilgore, Texas. This is a great way to store and transport motorcycles if you have a rig like this. The McCarron’s purchased this used semi for less than the cost of a new medium duty truck and it's designed to stop commercial sized loads so a few motorcycles and a 5th wheel are easy work for this kind of rig.Besides motorcycles, these trucks can also be configured to carry a small automobile along with towing your 5th wheel.
