Hello,
My 2017 Grand Design Reflection comes with a factory installed 2 inch receiver. I have health issues that do not allow me to walk long distances. I was considering the Bama Scooter Groundhog 450 and the 5 star hauler ramp at the bottom of the page.
Bama Scooter
The weight of the scooter is 340 pounds and I am not sure how much the ramp weighs although it is aluminum. The weight limit according to the sticker on my 5th wheel is 500 pounds.
My questions:
Has anyone used one of these scooters? Is it a decent scooter? What are the pros and cons?
What about putting this on the back of my 5th wheel? Is this combination safe? Has anyone done something like this and would you do it again? Why or why not?
Can I do anything to make this package more safe and secure?
Are there any viable alternatives? We go to Willowtree a lot and they have a beautiful trail around the lake that we enjoyed walking. You could see all sorts of wildlife. Now I can't make the walk and even going to the pool we have to drive over and park my truck. It would just be nice to use something like this to get around the campgrounds.
Thanks!
Dave
Are you sure you read the label correctly? The OEM receivers on the back of the Reflections have always been rated for a max 300 lb. load. To be safe, you'll need to have something fabricated and welded to the frame with more than one attachment point.

I went back out and re read the label and you are correct it is 300 pounds so this is not going to be an option for me.
Look at plan a B which I'm not sure of yet
