Question:

I am planning on buying a 2018 Winnebago View and want to carry 2 hybrid bicycles and a Vespa 150 cc scooter. Do you have a combo hitch option? I would need a ramp to load the Vespa which weighs about 250 pounds. Thanks!

Expert Reply:

For your 2018 Winnebago View, I recommend you start with the trailer hitch receiver. I recommend the Curt Adjustable RV Trailer Hitch Receiver - 18"-51" Wide - 2" Drop # C13701. This hitch is rated for up to 500 lbs tongue weight. If your motorhome comes with a hitch, you will need to make sure it is rated for at least 350 lbs.

Your Vespa 150 scooter's weight of 250 lbs will work well on the etrailer Motorcycle Carrier # e98873. You will also need straps like # EM31353. The carrier weighs 58 lbs so you are already close to or over 300 lbs tongue weight.

For your bike carrier, we can't use a dual hitch adapter due to the Vespa, so I recommend the Stromberg Carlson 2 Bike Carrier for RVs - Ladder Mount - Aluminum # LA-102. Then you can use the SportRack Cam Buckle Cinch Straps # SR0700 and cable lock # e98891.
