QUESTION: Can the VersaHaul carrier for two scooters be attached/used on a 5th wheel travel trailer by installing a class III hitch to its rear-end?

bezra — Tue, 05 Nov 2013 20:43:56 +0000

ANSWER: We do not recommend putting any VersaHaul on the back of a 5th wheel or a camper/trailer. We have found that the added weight on the back of a 5th wheel, camper, or trailer tends to back-load the trailer, which may cause it to fishtail.

QUESTION: There is not a dealer in my area. How do I buy the VersaHaul?

bezra — Tue, 05 Nov 2013 20:43:32 +0000

ANSWER: Fortunately, the VersaHaul can be drop-shipped by a dealer to a customer that cannot pick the VersaHaul up at the store. The carrier is shipped direct from the factory to your door by UPS. Please call your nearest VersaHaul dealer or call a VersaHaul internet dealer to place an order. Shipping costs are minimal. Dealers are listed under purchase information on this site.

QUESTION: If you don’t sell direct, why do you list the prices?

QUESTION: My tire is mounted behind my ’93 Ford Bronco. How far is the pin hole to the center of the main rail on the VH-55 single motorcycle carrier?

bezra — Tue, 05 Nov 2013 20:42:05 +0000

ANSWER: The rails on the VH-55 are adjustable up to a distance of 24 inches, measuring from the center of the main rail to the pin hole on your vehicle’s hitch.

QUESTION: I have a wide ATV. The width is 46 inches. How do I know if my ATV will fit on the rails of your VH-90 ATV carrier?

bezra — Tue, 05 Nov 2013 20:35:23 +0000

ANSWER: The rails on the VH-90 are adjustable to a width of 49 inches, outside edge to outside edge. The rails can also slide together until they touch. Each rail is 10 inches wide.

QUESTION: I own a 2000 Chevy Tahoe 2-wheel drive. Your website says I can’t carry more than about 300 pounds on a VersaHaul on my car. Why? The Tahoe manual says it can carry 500 pounds tongue weight. So why can’t the Tahoe carry as much as the other trucks you have listed?

bezra — Tue, 05 Nov 2013 20:34:32 +0000

ANSWER: If your hitch is strong enough, then the next concern I have is your suspension. A 300 lb. load with a standard suspension Tahoe will tilt the car’s frame backwards similar to a trailer. With more weight, the rear suspension may compress completely. Auto ride suspension, air bags, and other suspension stiffing devices will increase your vehicle’s capacity to carry a load.

Unfortunately, the standard suspensions on Tahoes and other SUVs are not as stiff as truck’s with pick-up beds. It is important to follow our Recommended Carrying Capacity Chart to avoid dangerously overloading your vehicle.

Note: We have tested a 600+ lb. Polaris four wheeler on a VH-90 RO and a 2000 Tahoe. The Tahoe’s spring compressed completely, and it was difficult to drive. If your vehicle is equipped with Auto-ride suspension or air bags then you will be able to carry more than the carrying capacity.

QUESTION: Do you have a single bike system, with a ramp, that will also allow a trailer to be attached?

bezra — Tue, 05 Nov 2013 20:34:01 +0000

ANSWER: The VersaHaul single motorcycle carriers are manufactured to tow a small vehicle or light trailer. The main tube was designed to carry tongue weight at a minimum. It is only suitable for towing trailers and small vehicles where there is minimal tongue weight exerted on the hitch. Do not tow over 3000 lbs with the product.

QUESTION: My bike’s tires are 7 inches wide. Everything I have read indicates your track is only 5.5 inches wide. Will my bike fit on any of your carriers?

bezra — Tue, 05 Nov 2013 20:33:06 +0000

ANSWER: Yes. The entire width of the VH-55 Single Motorcycle carrier’s track is 6.5 inches wide with 45 degree angles on both sides, allowing for even 8 inch wide tires to fit safely. Also, our VH-Sport bike carrier allows for even the widest tires to fit securely, and its wide ramp is interchangeable with the VH-55 Single Motorcycle carrier.

QUESTION: Can I install a VersaHaul carrier on the front of my vehicle via a front end hitch?

bezra — Tue, 05 Nov 2013 20:32:48 +0000

ANSWER: Do not put any VersaHaul carrier on the front end of any vehicle. All VersaHaul carriers extend beyond the maximum allowed distance for carrying such weight on a front end hitch. Failure to observe this precaution may result in catastrophic damage to your automobile and/or VersaHaul carrier.

QUESTION: How do I determine if my motorcycle/scooter fits on the VH-55 or requires a VH-SPORT?

bezra — Tue, 05 Nov 2013 20:32:24 +0000

ANSWER: Use our Calculator to enter your tire specifications and find out what carrier you require.
