I'm a newbie
I am looking to buy my first motorhome and would like to carry a motorbike in the garage . I have noted the Autocruise Starblazer XL has a payload of 700kg . Would I be able to carry a 278 kg bike in the garage . Can anyone suggest other suitable models .

since 2007, 25 years tuggin before that.
You usually find the "Garage" in a motorhome has a weight limit of 150kg or LESS!
The payload is presumed to be distributed around the van, not in one place.

we bought a cobra ( a bit like a monkey bike but bike styled 12" wheels etc) it weighs just under 100kg and fits in the garage easily, our garage has a 150kg limit as previously posted, it has carried 2 of us all over this year, 125cc engine is adequate... very pleased with it so far

I've been looking at one of these but is it big enough for two largish people?
