Transporting bicycles in a Toyhauler

I need idea's/advice. Going to winter in Arizona. We are taking our razor and want to bring our ebikes along as well. Looking for ideas on how to hang them, they are a lot heavier than the normal bike. I was thinking of mounting something over the hood of the razor going between the sidewalls and putting them there but wonder how much the sidewalls flex during travel? Another option I am kicking around is backing the razor in and mounting something to the bed/couch rails in the back since that should be a strong point to mount already. the razor takes up the whole 15 feet of the garage so there's really not enough room left in front or back or on sides to put bikes on the floor. Any ideas?

Can you build a four post 4x4 and plywood platform that goes over the razor?use wing nuts so you can take it apart easily? In effect creating a loft or a stacker trailer that you could put the bikes on. Seems like a lot of wasted space but don’t know if that would interfere with the elevating bed

For e-bikes? Google and you will find most are north of 300 lbs. Who the heck can lift one up onto a front receiver and he said e-bikes plural. Another 600-700 lbs on the pin weight?

What e-bike are you thinking of? I guess the OP needed to chime in. I think of e-bicycle which 48-50 pounds....

My e-mtb weighs 48 pounds.

I saw a guy at rainbow springs with a toy hauler and he built a rolling platform with his kayaks and paddles and odds and ends and he rolled it all the way across the campground to the water and then back to his rv and up the ramp..I would think the floor is the sturdiest part of the garage..it may look a little hokey to have a platform but I’d feel better having the bikes in the garage…too v
Bad you couldn’t put a reciever on the razor and use a conventional bike rack…not enough room it seems

I believe most ebikes are in the range of 50 to 80 pounds. There ae some topping 300 pounds but mostly commercial or for those rather portly.
That could work on a front receiver. And what would be the reason that you didn't load them on the side by side for the trip?
