I cannot find anything which states you cannot use the 32x48 Reese Solo Cargo Carrier # PS1040100 behind your 5th wheel. You might consider the 32x48 Reese Steel Solo Cargo Carrier and Folding Ramp # PS10401-10402 as a better option as the ramp will make loading your Lectric trike much easier.

Hello Kellyann; the Reese #PS1040100 you ordered is the best option to meet your 38-1/2" x 30-1/2" requirement. If you still want a ramp you can actually add one using the Folding Steel Ramp for Pro Series Solo Cargo Carrier #PS1040200.
