Question:
I have a 2002 carriage carri-lite 5th wheel. I am looking for a solution to bring my 2002 yahama fz1 on the road with us while we travel. U also have a 2015 dodge ram 3500 4x4 that will be towing the 5th wheel. I have seen front bumper options but not sure I like them but am not against it if it is the best option. Thanks in advance

Your 2002 Yamaha FZ1 has a dry weight of 458 lbs and a wet weight of 509 lbs. Due to this you cannot use a rear mounted carrier on your trailer or a front mounted hitch on your 2015 Ram 3500 4x4. You will be about 50-100 lbs too heavy for the front hitch and well over 200 lbs more than the limit of the rear mounted RV hitch when you add the weight of a carrier as well.
Your only viable option is to use a second trailer to tow your bike. You can use the Curt RV hitch # 13703 and ball mount # 989900 to tow a trailer like the Detail K2 Mighty Multi A-Frame Utility Trailer - 7-1/2' Long # K2MMT5X7. Then you would need a wheel chock like # TWSPWM and safety straps like # EM05710 and soft loops like # 06303.
