adding a trike to the mix

We have a 29ft B+ we have enjoyed for short trips. In a yearr or so we are planning to go coast to coast. Problem as I see it is our Rvision is powered by a Chevy 8. We are concerned about towing anything substantial up &down mountains. Plus, DH has no desire to tow a car. For now we are thinking about renting cars when we stop for a few days in one area. I recently got the idea of buying a 3 wheeler.

Living here on the coast we see every vehicle type known to man or woman. One thing I've seen quite a few of recently are trikes and the can/am with 2 wheels in front.

I think a trike would be the perfect answer for us. What are your experiences with the 3 wheelers?

PS: We are not motorcycle people.
Looking forward to new adventures and new friends.

Many of them are as heavy as a small car, so that will also have to be a consideration and for the price, you could purchase two or three small used cars that are in great shape or rent a lot of cars.

Double ditto. Which is why we're seriously considering a Vespa that can easily be mounted on a platform on the back. It will let us do a grocery run or sunny day runabouts as needed without the hefty price tag or weight of the 3-wheeler.

I have a Ford 29 ft. b+ HR . Look like yours, I did not want to pull a car also, so I had a rack put on back to hold a scooter. I am a motorcycle person years back that is, but I don't think you should do a scooter type without some training on how to ride them first. You RV will carry a rack and scooter total lbs of 500 lbs no problem. Done it a lot. Get some training be safe. Your RV will do all the moutains in this country no problem, it slows down but will do them fine.
So big a world, so little time to see.
