Question:

Hello, I have a 2018 F350 Dually with a 3inch hitch receiver. I would like to haul a 300lb motorcycle a Janus on a carrier and tow an Airstream at the same time. Is this possible?

I have a solution for you to get your motorcycle and Airstream trailer to your destination but a typical dual adapter like part # MPG544 wont' do the job because these have a max tongue weight of 400 lbs and since your motorcycle weighs in at 300 lbs you need an alternative option. You could potentially use a beefier option like the Gen-Y Hitch # 325-GH-1724 with an adapter # 325-GH-007 for a motorcycle carrier like # e98873 but you would have to find a creative way to load your motorcycle on the carrier as the ramp wouldn't be long enough.

My recommendation is to use the bed of your 2018 Ford F-350 Super Duty to transport your motorcycle and then use a ladder rack to and possibly a cargo basket to transport any gear that you initially planned on keeping in your truck bed. If you'd like to go this route just let me know what length the bed on your truck is and how much cargo you would need to transport in a basket and I can make some recommendations for you from our linked fitguide.
