Hitch helper

Does anyone have experience with a "Hitch helper" motorcycle carrier Motorcycle Hauler Hitch Motorcycle Carrier Hitch Helper. It is another axle between the tow vechicle and trailer with a rail or platform on top to carry a motorcycle.
Or anyother ideals about carring a large motorcycle along. I tow with a 4Runner so no pick up bed and I don't know of any fiberglass toyhaulers.Don't really whant one.
Thanks

I have one and and use with a 4Runner, problem is they limit the trailer weight to 1500lbs when using together. Also the hitch weight equals the weight of the hitch hauler (100 pounds) + motorbike (xxx pounds) + trailer tongue (xxx pounds) could quickly overload the tow rigs hitch rating.

The link doesn't seem to be working.

I'm wondering what you mean by a "large motorcycle"? My mind pictures a Harley or a Goldwing, and I'm having a hard time imagining that riding between the tow vehicle and trailer.

For the record there is one molded fiberglass "toy hauler"- the Happier Camper HC1. It's good for a smaller motorcycle.

Jon, a Lil Hauley (AKA Shell of a Lil Snoozy) would also work.
Ray, I tried to look this company up, and only found old postings (years old), so it seams that the company is out of business. I also would like to take my 700 lb. motorcycle with me behind my Jeep Wrangler as well as our Lil Snoozy. A one wheeled platform trailer might be able to be tied into the rear framing of a travel trailer, but I don't know if that would be law full.
