Hi

i am looking for a scooter rack that I can fit on the back of the camper to carry my Lambretta, I am struggling to find one that will fit onto the euro style towbar, so I may have to weld a flange onto my tow bar to allow fitting but more of a concern at this stage is;

Does anyone have any experiance of fitting a scooter or motorcycle rack onto a VW camper, do they cope ok? or does add too much weight to the back end?

Any help appreciated

Regards

Sorry it's not a brilliant picture, but the Honda weighs about 70kg.

I could feel the extra weight when I drove like a twat.
Did it make it a problem to drive or were you just concious of it, I only have a standard set up and so driving like a twat isnt an option.

I know when we are fuuly loaded for holiday i can tell the difference when you set off but after a while that just feels normal.

Did you have any reel dangerous situations as a resut of the extra weight? obviosly as much as id like to carry the scooter I dont want to compromise safety.

I like the look of that very much, (Ld and the trailer) but I want to get a away from towing if possible, I already have a small trailer that I can use, its just parking and reversing with a trailer is a problem and I liked the concept of just being able to just fix it on the back and go.

Thanks though

Thanks for that, the actual carriers are fairly readily available the problem is with my particular tow bar which is reasonably easy to sort but more importantly the safety aspect and what affect it has on the handling of the old bus.
