Can basement of 1994 Damon Intruder take weight of scooterr?

When I went to my Roadtrek I had the same problem. I bought a Travel Scoot scooter that folds and weighs only 35# It slides under the bed on my Roadtrek and sets up in abot 30 seconds. The only problem is loose sand with the small wheels but with hard surfaces it goes great.

X-2, this is the way I would go! Plywood is very strong and distributes the weight of the scooter.

The scooter breaks down easily into the seat part, control arm (long but skinny), and the squarish-base. We haven't tried but from eyeballing the basement on the MH we are buying, everything should fit - not necessarily in the *same* compartment but that's no problem. In fact, since the basement compartments go all the way from side to side, they may well all fit in the same compartment. We will know for sure in a few days! lol

We carry a dis-assembled mobility scooter in a compartment on our 1998 Itasca 32 ft. No problem fitting the components into the compartment. Fits like a glove.

The compartment will probably take the weight but I'm trying to figure out how you're going to lift the individual major assemblies into the compartment.

200+ lb heavy? And I'm glad to hear there was an outlet. That will be one of the things I look for when we actually buy it and have unlimited access. ;) (Didn't check before buying because it wasn't a make-or-break issue and it was VERY hot.)

We have some pretty heavy stuff in ours too, and on our motorhome there is a plug in one of the large bays. It's a 110 plug, so to charge something we would need to run the generator while we traveled.

The plywood is a good idea. I've added it to the (long and getting longer) list of things to do. ;)
