2" square tubing
Im not sure you all do this but I need some help from some smart people. I am want to build a rack on the back of my motor home to carry my motorcycles and ATV, I wil be carring a Honda Goldwing weighing about 800 lbs. I plan on using 2" square tubing with 1/4" thick wall and a 1 1/2" square 1/4" wall pressed inside the 2" this will extend beyond the reciever hitch about 5' and a 4'x 78" retangular frame with a 5/8" plywood deck. The reciever is a 6000# class hitch that I intend to add some more gussets and conections to the frame rails. In laymen terms what kind of forces will this 800# exsurt and do you think the 2' and 1 1/2'' tubing will carry the load? It wiil also have 2 more 1 1/2 square tubing conected to the reciever to make a 3 point conection. Thank you, Bill Sosebee
