Just come across a forum topic concerning a chap who wants to swap his caravan for a motorhome with a tow bar to enable him to tow his mobility scooter on a trailer. This begs the question why tow it, surely the rack manufacturers have made something that will carry a scooter, I have seen racks that carry very large motor cycles, they must weigh more than a mobility scooter. Has anyone seen such a thing?

It makes me think they are missing a golden oppertunity if not. Lets face it a large percentage of Motor home owners are retired folk, and we are not getting any younger or fitter, a scooter is a good way of getting around. I know this from personal experience while recovering from a stroke, (luckily fully functioning again after 6 months  ). But during the time I needed personal transport it was carried inside the motorhome between the rear lounge seats, a real pain in the a**e if you just wanted to stop for a cuppa and sarnie, and had to be lifted out to make up the bed. A rear carrying rack would have been perfect

This would do the job:

You just have to be aware of the maximum nose weight the motorhome can cope with.

Well Bridgelayer, if you can afford that on your pension you must have been an MP. But will it fit on a standard club pitch? You may need hardstanding this summer.
