They look pretty good and as cheap as a used scooter.

I just thought the MP3 would be good as it has a ton of storage space and a pretty large engine (for a scooter). And the price was more than fair.

Meanwhile in Europe E-bikes become more and more popular with campers, as they can be attached outside as well as be stored inside a trailer.SonjaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389245948579828531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-39780195911357215102018-03-17T06:02:28.688-08:002018-03-17T06:02:28.688-08:00I’m still thinking of a front carrier.

I had a bike rack last year but never rode the bike. But the bike rack was handy to carry a step ladder as well as the bike.

Plus, it had a huge trunk.

Definitely a different kettle of fish. The manufacturer of the MP3 carrier says that if the empty weight of the 5th wheel is over 14k then it would be fine. We are only 8.5k empty. Quite a difference.
