Hey Linda, so the ride quality at the back of a fifth wheel camper is much rougher than at the rear of a vehicle. This is due to the suspension of the trailer being much more primitive without shocks and also the great distance between the axles of the trailer and the rear bumper. This exaggerates the movement quite a bit and puts a lot more stress on the rack. So what can happen is that the rack will fail and you could lose your trike and maybe cause issues for other motorists as well.

I wish we had an RV approved trike carrier but at this time we do not.

Hey Linda, were you able to find a safe way to carry your e-trike with your fifth wheel? Knowing what solution worked could help others trying to haul similar setups.

@JamesonC Yes. We purchased a Mockins cargo carrier hitch mount and is RV rated.
