Who is using swivel wheel/Idaho Tote type carriers ?

I'm in a delima on how to safely haul a golf cart/UTV . I have been looking at the swivel wheel trailers , using a 2nd trailer ( double tow ), or on the extreme side just throwing in the towel & getting a toy hauler or TT with cart in pickup bed.
It's not any of the above I want to do but DW's mobility getting really bad. Looked at all-terrainn scooters but even broken down for transport I just can't pickup one of the parts ( 180+-). So my question is what are the folks in my situation doing ?

    I absolutely have no desire to go back to a MH. We've had 2 and I just don't like haveing one. DW just needs something that is more " off road " than her mobility scooter plus She has a lifted golf cart for our farm now. The scooter doesn't do well at our Arkansas hideaway or on the Tx beaches. Looking more like the small trailer is easiest right now. There is a guy in our town that builds a hitch that replaces the entire thin bumper & ties it back into the frame.
    Another route is I can rent a UTV from United in Rogers Ar & they deliver . Golf cart rental on the coast is a little pricey but maybe worth it instead of all this towing complications.

  • For us the best option is a MH with no need to get in/out while traveling. For MH travel the mobility scooter uses ramps to store inside the Jeep. Also have a carrier on the Jeep for local travel.

    The scooter easily breaks down into 6 parts (no tools) so could be carried in your truck with 5er.

    Not what you asked but maybe some additional ideas to consider.
  • I double tow a Kendon MC Trailer with no real issues other than I have to be careful where I travel as it's not easy to back up doubles.

    I would look into a small aluminum trailer with a ramp. I would assume that would keep you light enough to not require brakes.

    If you tow in the green states then you are Golden!
