I want to mount a motorcycle to my new (to me) teardrop.

The motorcycles im looking at are only about 400 pounds.

Is it possible to mount it to one side of my camper? I already have an idea of how I'd do it, and I'd be sending it to a fab shop to be done. I'm more so curious about if it will cause a huge imbalance. Also there's a door on both sides so I'm not really worried about blocking one.

Last resort would be removing the big toolbox and putting it there, but that's where my AC is so I'd rather not touch it.

I just bought this camper and have a few questions.

Firstly, I would like to do some sort of solar set up on this. Before doing a deep dive into solar set-ups I figured I'd come here and ask cause some of you may already have the answers to my questions. it would be really convenient if I could just put a solar panel on top of the tough box on the front. I mainly just want enough power to run a small griddle, a fan, and charge devices. HOWEVER, this thing also came with a 5000BTU climateright AC and heater. if it's feasible I would love to run that thing off of solar.

My second question, it's not waterproof. The main leak points is the transition from tread plate to aluminum, and the hinge for the gantry.There are also quite a lot of seems. My plan for the seems was to just caulk em with silicone, same with the transition between the tread plate and aluminum. The absolute saint that sold this to me mentioned something called a hurricane hinge, as a replacement for the hinge on the gantry. The current hinge is apparently from a piano lol. I believe the dried up stuff on those seems is old tape.

The current water damage isnt bad and the guy who sold it to me gave me an EZ UP for FREE so the water damage shouldn't get any worse, but I still want to do my best to water proof it.

Tell me what you think, don't be too mean I have no experience lol. It was apparently built in 2013.
