Expert Answers about Oldenkamp

  • Trailer Hitch Mount Cargo Carrier for Use with a 1998 Winnebago Rialta Motor Home
  • For a motorcycle carrier for use behind a motor home you can use # UF48-979033. It does not fold or have a raised shank but it is the only one of this type of carrier that you can use behind a motor home. Folding items are not recommended behind RVs and trailers because of the extra movement at the back, like being at the back of a school bus. The places where carriers fold is a possible point of weakness and the extra bouncing at the back of an RV could cause a folding carrier to fail. For a

  • Carrying a Vespa Scooter with a 2007 Subaru Outback Wagon with Class II Trailer Hitch
  • Because of the wheel size on a Vespa and how low the brakes are relative to the wheel, you probably will not be able to tow a Vespa with carrier # RHMC1. The carrier is made to work with 16 to 21 inch motorcycle tires that are less than 5-1/2 inches wide. If your 2007 Subaru Outback has a Class II trailer hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver there are some other options. If the wheel base on the Vespa is less than 48 inches, you could use carrier # RHWC1114. But you have to make sure that the Ves

  • Motorcycle Carrier Recommendation for a Honda 1300 VTX
  • To haul your Honda 1300 VTX, I recommend using a motorcycle trailer like the Magneta Low-Profile Motorcycle Trailer # UMCT1XHD-AM31985. Because of the size of your bike, I do not recommend using a hitch mounted carrier like the Oldenkamp Carrier, # RHDC2, that you referenced. Most of the hitch mounted motorcycle carriers were designed for smaller dirt bikes and street bikes. Another option would be a carrier like the Oldenkamp Motorcycle Carrier for full size bikes, # RHMC1SV. This carrier w

  • Recommended Carrier to Transport Scooter on Rear of 2000 Winnebago Rialta
  • The majority of the lower cost motorcycle carriers we offer are not intended for use on the rear of a motorhome or RV. On a typical RV, there is a greater distance between the rear axle and the rear bumper than what you would see on a regular passenger vehicle. This distance would cause a hitch mounted accessory to experience quite a bit of bouncing (remember sitting in the back seat of the school bus when it went over a large bump?). However, Ultra-Fab assures me that their # UF48-979033

  • Will a 1999 Kawasaki 1500 Drifter Fit Oldenkamp Trailer Hitch Mounted Motorcycle Carrier # RHMC1SV
  • As long as the motorcycle weighs 800 pounds or less and the front tire is less than 5-1/2 inches wide the bike will fit on the Oldenkamp Trailer Hitch Mounted Motorcycle Carrier, part # RHMC1SV. After doing some research, I have found the dry weight of your 1999 Kawasaki 1500 drifter is approximately 657 lbs and a curb weight of approximately 710 lbs and the front tire size is listed as 130/90-16 which translates to a width of 5-1/8 inches. Please check your owners manual to ensure your i

  • Can Trailer Hitch Mounted Dirt Bike Carrier, # RHDC1, be Used Behind a Motor Home
  • There are only certain products that can be used behind a motor home. Like you have stated the Trailer Hitch Mounted Dirt Bike Carrier, # RHDC1, cannot be used for this application. The problem is that on the back of a motor home there is significantly more bouncing and jarring because of the extended distance from the rear axle to the back of the vehicle. This translates into significantly more stress on the carrier that it is not designed for. The Ultra-Fab carrier, # UF48-979033, can be us

  • Recommendations for Carrying 2 Motorcycles at the Rear of a Arista Holiday Rambler Motorhome
  • The best possible solution I can offer you is to get a Blue Ox SportCarrier I # SC2100. This carrier is the only carrier rated to carry more than one motorcycle on the back of an RV. You will need to make sure that the vehicle frame extends back to the rear of the motorhome, welded-on extensions will not support the weight. To make loading of the motorcycles easier you will also need to get a Ramp Kit for Blue Ox SportCarrier # SC9023. The capacity of this carrier is 1,000 lbs, so you will

  • How Does Jack Hold the Bike Up In Tow Position on Oldenkamp Hitch Motorcycle Carrier # RHMC1SV
  • I spoke with my contact at Oldenkamp on the Trailer Hitch Mounted Motorcycle Carrier, part # RHMC1SV. He said that the jack has three holes on it at different heights that will allow a pin to be inserted through one of the holes to hold the bike up in the towed position and keep the jack from lowering.

  • Can I Carry a 2007 Triumph Tiger 1050 on a Hitch Mounted Motorcycle Carrier # RHMC1
  • I spoke with my contact at Oldenkamp about carrying your 2007 Triumph Tiger 1050 with the Hitch Mounted Motorcycle Caddy, # RHMC1, on your 2002 Volkswagen GTI and your 2012 Ford Escape. He said the biggest issue that you will run into is your trailer hitches being able to carry the weight of the carrier and the motorcycle. Your trailer hitch will have to support the weight of the bike carrier, 52 lbs, and half of the weight of your bike. I did some research on your bike and the dry weight is

  • Is the Oldenkamp Hitch Mounted Motorcycle Carrier Safe for Towing a Motorcycle in Neutral
  • The Oldenkamp Hitch Mounted Motorcycle Caddy, # RHMC1, is designed to tow motorcycles up to 750cc. If your motorcycle is chain driven, then you should remove the chain. Removing the chain will allow your back wheel to rotate freely, similar to the front wheel, without rotating the motor. If your motorcycle is shaft driven, then you will not have a problem as long as you put your motorcycle in neutral and do not exceed 65 miles per hour when towing. You should also check with the manufact

  • Will a 2006 Honda Shadow Aero 750 Fit on the Trailer Hitch Mounted Motorcycle Carrier, # RHMC1SV
  • I had a 2004 Honda Shadow Aero myself that also had a shaft drive. Shaft drive bikes work well in the Trailer Hitch Mounted Motorcycle Carrier, # RHMC1SV, as long as you only travel at 55 to 65 miles per hour. The front tire on your bike will need to be less than 5-1/2 inches wide to fit in the cradle. This cradle also keeps the bike upright. It may lean some when turning but not like if you were taking a corner while riding it. No additional parts are needed. The forks do not have to compres

  • Does Oldenkamp Motorcycle Caddy RHMC1 Have an Integrated Jack to Raise and Lower Wheel for Loading
  • The Oldenkamp Motorcycle Caddy for Class II receivers that you referenced, part # RHMC1 does not have an integrated jack. It does however include a metal ramp bracket that can be used to construct a ramp that would make loading the front wheel much easier for you. They do offer a model for Class III receivers that has an integrated jack, part # RHMC1SV, but it would not be compatible with the Class II receiver on your Buick LeSabre.

  • Can the Oldenkamp Hitch Mounted Motorcycle Caddy # RHMC1 be Used in a Class I Receiver
  • Oldenkamp states that their Hitch Mounted Motorcycle Caddy is designed for use in Class II receivers only. A Class I receiver has a very low tongue weight capacity, 200 lbs. Exceeding this capacity can cause damage to the hitch or the vehicle that could result in the loss of the towed accessory. Additionally, most of the hitch manufacturers weld or punch a stop into the receivers so that an accessory meant for a Class II receiver will not slide in far enough for the hitch pin holes to line up.

  • Will the Motorcycle Caddy # RHMC2 Clear the Spare on a 2005 Honda CR-V with Curt Hitch # 13535
  • The best way to determine if the Oldenkamp motorcycle caddy, # RHMC2, will clear your spare tire is to measure the distance from the center of your hitch pin hole in the trailer hitch to the farthest back part of your spare tire. You can then compare that measurement to the 8-1/2 inch measurement from the center of the hitch pin hole on the carrier to the upright of the carrier. If your measurement is less than 8-1/2 inches then the motorcycle caddy will work. Without a hitch installed this make

  • Towing Triumph Rocket III Motorcycle with Oldenkamp Hitch Mounted Motorcycle Carrier Part # RHMC1SV
  • I do not have any specific information regarding the use of the Oldenkamp Hitch Mounted Motorcycle Carrier with a Triumph motorcycle like yours. Oldenkamp tells me that as long as your bike has 16-21 inch tires that are no wider than 5-1/2 inches wide, the carrier should work fine for you. Keep in mind: The receiver should be between 14-22 inches off the ground. Belt and shaft drive bikes are OK at speeds up to 65 mph. If the bike will be towed for longer distances (over 100 miles

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2009 Chevy HHR and Recommendation for Carrying a Power Chair
  • The problem is that all of the trailer hitches available for the 2009 Chevy HHR are Class I hitches with a tongue weight capacity of 200 pounds. The weight of the chair plus a carrier will exceed the tongue weight capacity of any of the available trailer hitches. However, there is a good solution. Magneta trailers makes a special trailer just for power chairs/scooters. A trailer will be the only way you will be able to carry the chair with the HHR. But first you will need a trailer hitch. I r

  • Blue Ox Motorcycle Carrier Recommendation for Transporting a Scooter on a 2008 Winnebago
  • We have a motorcycle carrier that is designed for use on RVs and motorhomes, but the Oldenkamp Hitch Cargo Carrier # RHDC1 is not designed for the rougher ride that is at the rear of an RV or motorhome. The Blue Ox Motorcycle Carrier I for Motor Homes # SC2000 would be the one you would want. This carrier is designed for use on an RV or a motorhome and should work well for you.

  • Will Rear Hatch Of 2010 Chevrolet Traverse Open w/ Oldenkamp Hitch Mounted Scooter Carrier # RHWC2FL
  • The Oldenkamp Trailer Hitch Mounted Scooter Carrier, part # RHWC2FL, has 2 arms that stick up when lowering or raising the lift. These arms will sit in the way of the carrier. What you can do is measure from the edge of the receiver opening, out 6 inches. Then, you can try to open the rear hatch, if the hatch extends out less than 6 inches from the receiver it will clear the arms of the carrier. There is a chance that the carrier will clear, but more than likely the two support arms will p

  • I spoke with my contact at Oldenkamp about the Trailer Hitch Mounted Scooter / Wheelchair Carrier, # RHWC2FL. He stated that it can be used on the back of your large motor home. You will need to make sure that you have a 2 inch trailer hitch receiver that has a tongue weight capacity greater than the combined weight of the carrier and the scooter. The carrier weighs about 105 pounds. If you do have a trailer hitch on the motor home it will need to be one that is mounted to the frame rail

  • Will Oldenkamp Motorcycle Carrier # RHMC1SV Fit 2007 Harley Davidson with a Solid Front Wheel
  • The Oldenkamp Trailer Hitch Mounted Motorcycle Carrier, part # RHMC1SV is designed to carry the front wheel off of the ground. The front wheel is attached to the carrier by three ratcheting wheel straps (see included picture) that go through an open wheel. The straps and hardware are going to be larger than the 1/2 inch holes on your 2007 Harley Davidson Fat Boy, so the front wheel will not be able to be strapped down. This carrier will not work with your solid front wheel with 1/2 inch holes.

  • The Oldenkamp Trailer Hitch Mounted Motorcycle Carrier, item # RHMC1SV, is designed for transporting motorcycles when moving them long distances. You should remove the chain on your Kawasaki to prevent damage to it or the transmission. You will want to make sure that you are very careful if you need to back when the motorcycle is attached to the vehicle. Very short trailing items like your motorcycle or a very small trailer can jackknife very easily. To avoid towing something you could use

  • Will a 2011 Victory Cross Country Fit a RHMC1SV Trailer Hitch Mounted Motorcycle Carrier
  • I spoke with my contact at Oldenkamp, and he pulled one of the # RHMC1SV trailer hitch mounted motorcycle carriers from their warehouse to compare it with your dimensions. Unfortunately, we could not confirm this for certain without the actual tire and wheel to test, but it looks like the carrier may work for your application. The fit would really depend on how wide the tire is. If you have a 16 to 18 inch wheel, the tire should be thicker. Since the wheel channel on the carrier is shaped

  • Are Towing Lights Required For Trailer Hitch Mounted Motorcycle Carrier # RHMC1SV

However, some local and state laws may require the use of supplemental lights anyway, which is a good idea. Check the law in your area to determine if additional towing lights are required. You can use something as simple as the Magnetic Towing Light Kit, # C-ATL20A, if you can find a good place to
