    I've seen many auto loaders that remove the danger of loading/unloading. Most also give support behind the bed that the tailgate is really not strong enough to accomplish. I think the tail gate strength is irrelevant as it needs to be removed to allow turning room for the trailer.

    I have a suggestion, go to the Baxley trailer website. Save yourself the hassle and get one of them.

    Just put the bike on a trailer attached to a hitch ball on the back of the camper.

    I can understand the want of just using a truck to carry a bike. At least for me; the need to transport a bike is of almost no requirement these days; though on the off chance that I would need to...

    I do have a cargo trailer but it just sits in the backyard collect debris from each passing season, and costing me $51,00 every two years for registration renewal.

    That is an expensive comma.

    I've used one of these to load my GW into a 1-ton Dodge Ram: http://www.cruiserlift.com/cruiserramp
    The rear tire of the Wing was sitting just an inch or two into the bed and I had to take the tailgate off as well.
    We did a round trip from Louisiana to Maine and back with it.
    I don't think it's going to completely fit in your bed.
    BTW, I have that lift ramp for sale as I no longer have a need for it...or the truck.

    Came across this video of a guy loading his Africa Twin into a pickup, some great ideas but you will need upgraded gear to move the weight of the F6B.

    I use a sheet of 1"1/8th plywood to compensate for the crappy tailgate. Distributes the weight better. Getting it in in out is the fun part.
