QUESTION: I have a Suzuki Burgman 400cc that weighs 500 lbs. The wheelbase is 62.4 inches, width is 32.5 inches, seat height is 28 inches.

ANSWER: The VH-SPORT RO model will be the best carrier for your Burgman scooter. This has a 600 lbs carrying capacity and has a 77.5″ long rail.  Dimensions are listed on http://versahaul.com/vhsportro.php

Please visit the above link for vehicle and hitch limitations.

Check that your hitch is not recessed behind your motorhome’s bumper or that a ladder or spare tire is in the way. The VH-SPORT can be customized to have a longer 30” main tube to avoid obstacles.  Usually this is not necessary.  http://versahaul.com/vhCustom.php

The exhaust from a Diesel Pusher may require the purchase of a longer main tube because the hot exhaust may damage the paint of the tie-down tube.

QUESTION: Do you offer any kind of hitch/lift system for use with heavy road bikes say behind a motorhome? I have a customer looking to carry his Victory road bike in a hitch lift carrier behind the motor home, yet still be able to pull a trailer.

ANSWER: Our largest bike carrier has carrying capacity of 600 lbs. The model would be VH-SPORT RO. It will not work with large heavy bikes. We do not have anything that will work with heavy road bikes. 600lbs is our largest carrier.

QUESTION: I have a 2008 Jeep Sahara 4wd with a spare tire mounted in the center of the rear. It’s even with the bumper. What carrier would work? It has a 2″ receiver. Will be hauling a 125cc small dirt bike. And what is the cost? Thanks!

ANSWER: The VH-55 RO carrier has a 500 lbs carrying capacity with a 71.5″ long rail.

This carrier has a 24″ long main tube which extends out of the receiver. From pinhole to the center of the rail is 21.5″. You can check out other dimensions at http://www.versahaul.com/vh55ro.php I’ve had good luck with a center mounted Bronco.  I needed to tip the bike’s handle bars around the tire but then it was fine.

  • VH-55 RO (with ramp) $493.99
  • VH-55 (without ramp) $397.99

You must purchase these through a dealer as we do not sell direct.
