Hello, has anyone tried to carry a scooter on the back of their rp 175? I am interested in knowing if it can be done. Right now, I have the spare tire mounted to the back of the camper. Let me know your thoughts. Also, do campgrounds let you drive your scooter (@50cc) in the park?
Thanks.
John

Some campgrounds will let you drive it, some won't. I hope you know that you will have a weight transfer if you mount the scooter on the camper. Take the weight of the scooter + 10% off of the trailer tongue. You could have a little sway problem.

Sway problem or worst. Here's a link (a bike rack broke the hitch in the back) http://www.rpodnation.com/bike-rack-problem-update_topic1465.html - http://www.rpodnation.com/bike-rack-problem-update_topic1465.html
Totally blew my idea of a carrier/basket (like the ones you put coolers and stuff behind a SUV). Thought is would be handy for stuff, but now maybe not so much.
