Does this sound like a ridiculous idea?!!
Here's my JK and camping trailer:

It's a great setup, with one exception...I can't take my motorcycle with me when I go camping. The trailer does not have a rear bumper, so hauling my bike on the back is not an option without major modification to the trailer. So here's my where my crazy idea comes in. I thought about getting a front bumper with a built in receiver, adding a motorcycle hitch hauler, and carrying my motorcycle at the front of the Jeep!!
Now keep in mind that we are talking a SMALL motorcycle (100cc). Does this sound feesable? Has anyone else here ever tried such a thing? ...or am I just nuts!

A competent welder/fab shop should be able to add something to the back of the trailer that will easily carry a small bike. I can't imagine it would cost a lot of money. Off the subject, how do you like the Tab? My wife and I are considering this as a replacement for our old pop-up.

You need a certain degree of tongue weight. Mounting the bike to the rear of the trailer will definitely reduce your tongue weight. How much? I don't know. But between the weight of the bike, the rack,and the leverage of how far it will stick out past the end of the trailer, I think it would be unsafe at best.



Good luck!
