I have a 95 Fleetwood Flair with a spare tire attached to the back. I need to transport my scooter (it's 450 pounds) and I can't afford to pay much to do it.
Safety is first. I am a single female and need something that I can rig on my own. My biggest fear is that the scooter will fall while I'm driving. I do not want to endanger anyone else. I will get rid of the scooter before I risk hurting anyone else.
The prices I've seen range from $80. to $4,000. I'm in the $300 range.
I bought a metal carrier that has a 500 lb capacity, and it fits, but barely. I cannot load and lock the scooter in place by myself.
Lowes sells a trailer that most landscapers seem to use. It is bigger than the one I bought, but also costs about $700.
Any ideas? Safety first. Money is second. I realize at my price range I will have to do some work to secure the scooter and won't have one of those electric lifts, but will need a moveable ramp. I'm not mechanically inclined, but by owning this RV, I'm learning.
I would love to buy one used, but have no idea where to look. Like I said, I'm in the $300 range, but this is not a place to take a risk by saving some money. The thing I rigged costs $150 total including installation, and if there were 2 people it would work, but I need something idiot proof and something I can do alone.
Any advice is appreciated.
