  1. Okay - so I have gone through some of the posts on the page about people wanting to haul their motorcycles on the back of their toyhome... I don't mean to bring this back up - BUT, does anyone know exactly how much weight can be placed on one of these things? I am REALLY hoping to put Honda Trail 90 on the back of my 1989 Odyssey. This motorcycle is amazingly small and weighs in at about 170 some lbs... that coupled with a 50 lb hitch rack, would put me at about 220 lbs. Is this still over the limit? I know that a trailer would be the safest option, but I am not into having one of those dragging behind me as I plan on living in it full time for a good 6/7 months as I do a whole country loop. It is to tempting to just throw a hitch rack on the back and 'test' it. Is this a bad idea? What is the best way to reinforce the hitch? Has anyone drawn up plans/done this before and would be willing to shed some light on my problem? Thanks!
  2. I actually haven't. I am out of town and will get to measure the roof on Saturday. Besides possible length issues, is there much of a difference?
  3. I am new here and I am looking to hook up solar to a 1989 Odyssey that I just bought. We are hoping to do some serious boondocking in this rig and want to be as 'off-grid' as we can. As I have been trying to learn about different solar units that I can hook up permanently on the roof, I have come across these peel and stick (made by Unisolar). For me there are a few appeals to the peel and stick. Installation seems MUCH easier and straight forward. There are not mounting holes. It just seems pretty nice to peel and stick. Also, it seems like this would be MUCH more "wind resistance friendly". I can only imagine that there is a big difference in the aerodynamics going on. BUT, I don't really know what I am talking about! I want to ask you! What is the difference? What are the pros? The cons? How does this compare to other models? What do you recommend for what we have going? Thanks for the help!
