Specifically a Niagara (or other high wall). If it were just me I'd be happy with an Evolution or RT, but the DW and two DD's would make one of those feel like a sardine can. The highwall campers are great for the family but I need to carry a dirt bike on the trailer as the truck bed carries the quad, gas, genset, etc. I'm wondering if a bike carrier can be put into a class lll reciever mounted on a big pup. Any thoughts? (BTW, I don't want the 36RT) Many thanks!

I wouldn't hesitate to add one.  You would just pay attention to the tongue weight, and make sure the addition in the rear can be adjusted by a little moved furthur to the front.

Pop up trailers are not designed to have a rear hitch addded.
Some people here have tried it, but it took too much weight off the tongue, and made for a very unstable ride. I would not recommend doing it.
