Amen on the stick weld, I like 7018 with a DC welder. The extensions on my coach are attached with three what looks like 3/4 bolts, that's it. I would have to think twice before I tried to pull a fly off a gut wagon with what I have. As far as the torque arm effect and added weight I plan on empty tanks and light loads in the coach its self, it's just me and my little co pilot and we travel light. Bill left a good resource for metals and supplies ( THANKS BILL). I like my M.I.G. as well but air movement blows the argon off and I hate flux core.
Sounds like a plan but the motorcycle has leverage so the weight is much more than static plus it has the momentum of suspension movement. I've worked with this stuff:
Strong for it's weight...short side up.

I'll tell you Bill, we are ALL a little off the bubble here; a little slant here and there never hurt anyone. I'm doing a beef up on my camper tail end this summer so I can load my XR650L on the back. I plan on using 2" square single wall tubing and start tying in-in front of the rear axle and carry it all the way back to the bumper and tie it in there. will basically look like a set of latter bars like you see on monster trucks. I had a good welder check out my design and he said it looked good and I won't be adding a ton of extra weight.Bike ways 345 lbs loaded.
Great ideas, I thought I was imagining things when I crawled under to look. Really a mickey mouse type setup Winnie created. It's no wonder all the old boxes sag so badly.
I need a good welder or step up myself, what kind of welding equipment did you use to get in there? Thanks for the tip on jacking it square. I didn't do that when I built on the back and everything is a little off plumb as a result.
Live and learn.
