Just to give you an idea this is on a Dave cooper bike rack on tow bar which I beefed up .I braced it with half an old ally ladder also bolted my wheel stow on to it other half of ladder has ply wood on that's my ramp .Rack only has 110 kg rating vespa weighs more than that so big blue straps are giving that more support red ones holding it on .Also have high level trailer board with number plate lights ect.To be honest was expecting wife to hate the van and was going to sell after Italy trip but she has made new covers ect looks a lot better inside than out .Austria next year to Vespa Alp rally then Belgium maxi scooter treffen on way back .Took grandson away in it in August had great time he loves the beach main expense is beach car parks but we subsidise that by being to self cater with food cups of tea ect .Buy pizza or pasty from super market warm up in the oven on beach car park .

I bet it is. I have experienced a car and normal trailer which was bad enough so will be looking at the fixed type with 360 degree rotating dolly type wheels as a preference. Trouble is they are expensive. There is a manufacturer close to where we are (Easy Lifter) and have also seen a French manufacturer (Yo Remorque). It's academic for while yet as we probably won't have the money for the motorhome until next year. Plenty of time to research.

Cool! Nice set up. We're going to the Motorhome and Caravan show at the NEC this weekend so I'll be hunting around and asking some questions.
