QUESTION: Looking into carrying a scooter at 200 lbs.while pulling a small camper at 2500 lbs with a 290 lb tongue weight. I saw a photo of one of your customers who had the scooter rack between the vehicle and the camper. I’d like info on this option. And is there a way to carry the scooter on the front of the vehicle if a hitch is mounted in front? My tow vehicle is a 2003 Chevy Silverado, 5.3V8, 4.73 rear end.

ANSWER: We do not recommend installing carriers on the front of vehicles. They are designed for the rear. Going up an incline can possibly damage the carrier or the vehicle. If you are looking at the VH-55 RO carrier you have a 500 lbs carrying capacity. Since your bike only weighs 200 lbs then you have 300 lbs of tongue weight remaining behind the carrier.  Please also check the vehicles carrying capacity and hitch rating.   If your vehicle has only a Class III hitch rated for 500 lb then you will not have enough capacity to carry the VH-55 RO 100 lbs, Bike  200 lbs, and support the Tongue weight 300 lbs.
