Tom/Barb,
I have done exactly what you're thinking about. The coach we did it with at the time was a '99 Fleetwood Bounder 34V with the F-53 chassis and the 275HP Triton V-10. The V-10 had the Banks kit on it when we bought the coach. We'd towed Jeeps all over the planet for years and had zero issues with three different coaches, up to that one. But, I acquired two TW 200s and wanted to take one with us when traveling.
So, I built a hauler for it, to be attached to the receiver of the coach. While it was a tad crude for my normal fabrication, it worked, and worked very well. I designed it not only for carrying one TW, but also to tow our '04 Jeep Rubicon. It was a good system all except for what it took to get the bike up on to the rack and back off. That rack was a bit high for manual loading of the bike and, it was impossible to ride it up. But, we did it and survived.
Since Photobucket robbed us all of being able to post pics, I can't show you the system. It was not hard to build. One thing you want to make sure of, (there's actually more than one) is, making sure you have adequate tie-downs for the bike. You don't want that bike rocking around.

Thanks for that, we know that the longer the rear over hang is the easier to exceed the turn radius of he Jeep, and we are pretty long now.
There is no easy answer, But we know the trailer hitch on the jeep will not carry the weight with out major modification.
Not exactly sure what you mean by that.

Twโs only weigh 278lb. Maybe check the specs on your jeep, and see if you could do a hitch mount,
