Question:

We have a 24foot RV class C built on Sprinter 2005 chassis. We need a carrier with 24inch inside to haul a Liberty electric tricycle. We dont need it to fold but would like to have a shank rise to avoid bottoming out. The etrailer one sounded perfect but then in comments you said not for RV use. We actually intend to put 2 rear ends of the trikes on the rack with the front pieces in our storage area of the RV. Total weight is only 100 lb.

I'll start off by saying that because of the extra movement that can occur at the rear of an RV, you can only use a cargo carrier with a solid shank in the receiver on the back of your 2005 Class C on a Sprinter chassis; this also means that you're not going to be able to find a cargo carrier with a shank rise. I have a solution, but the Stromberg Carlson # CC-100 is only 23" inside to inside, so I think it's going to be a tad bit too small. I recommend using the Reese Solo Cargo Carrier # PS1040100, which is 32" x 48" and will provide you with plenty of room for your Liberty Electric Tricycle.

I've linked a video review that we did on this carrier for you to have a look at, as well.
