I recently purchased a Bajaj 150cc scooter. Along with it came a hitch mount mechanism which you can put into the hitch receiver of your pickup to haul the scooter on the back of the truck. The metal scooter and hauling mechanism are not light. I'd like to be able to take the scooter on trips with me. I'm wondering if it would be folly to have a receiver put on the rear end of my 28' foot 72 continental rocket so I could haul the scooter on the back of the trailer. I've learned the importance of tongue weight and not hauling full water tanks, etc. so I'm wondering if this would put too much weight on the back of the trailer causing trouble for towing, etc. I can get ramps and put the scooter in the back of the pick up but it would be far more convenient to just put the already purchased devise on the back of the trailer. I have an equalizer hitch set up to hitch the trailer to the 3/4 ton Ford truck but even with it I still have some trouble with passing semi-trucks causing drag on me so I'm cautious about mounting too much weight at the back of the trailer. What are your thoughts? Thanks. Chris
