I am looking for a Hydralift and would like to hear from anyone that has one and/or installed it on a DP motorhome.

We have a hydralift on our 06 Dutchstar and so far have been very pleased with it. It definitely gets a lot of attention at the rv parks. We had to purchase through a retailer even though they did not carry the product they were able to bring it in for us. My husband and a welder friend did the install themselves. We have a 2008 HD Road King Klassic on the lift. The bike stays pretty clean unless you are in a lot of rain or snow. We were going to purchase the little garage that goes with the lift but it was a little pricey at $2,000 so he is considering getting a custom cover made. Loading and unloading is very easy, tying the bike down takes the most time. Any other questions please let us know.

Interesting. The site shows it hauling a Goldwing (my bike) but does not provide any cost information.
Anyone know an estimated cost?

Hi FL Mike,
I found this site. Do not know anything about this company, 'RV STuff', or how old the info is. Looks to be over $3500.00 plus shipping. Gives you some idea anyway.Hydralift Price

Thanks for the quick replies. Bill, where are you getting the lift installed? I would be very interested.
DW and I are planning a cross county trip upon retirement (23 months away) and want to take the bike. We currently use a trailer, but if the lift works well it would probably be a lot easier...
Thanks for the info...

Just got a used Overbilt. Need to get the recivers welded on now.
Hydra looked good, but this one was almost free. Tested and works fine, it uses the cable to lift.
