• Scooter Carrier for Rear of Motorhome
  We do offer a motorcycle/scooter carrier that's rated for use on a motorhome, part # UF48-979033 from Ultra-Fab. As long as the scooter's tires aren't wider than 5 inches, the carrier should be compatible with your scooter. In order to use a motorcycle/scooter carrier, the hitch on the motorhome would need to have sufficient capacity to handle the 300 lb weight of the scooter and the 45 lb weight of the # UF48-979033 carrier. There is no way to add a bike rack and bikes to the Ultra-Fab...

• Solution for Towing Trailer Level that is 6 Inches Higher Than Tow Vehicle
  I do have a solution for you, however high-low adapters like the Roadmaster # RM-048-6 that you referenced are only designed for flat towing a vehicle. They are not suitable for towing a camper/trailer. To get the rise you need to tow your trailer level, you will instead want to look at a ball mount with around a 6 inch rise. I recommend taking a look at the Draw-Tite Ball Mount # 2793. This ball mount is compatible with 2 inch hitch receivers, features a 6-3/4 inch rise (or an 8 inch...

• How to Raise Hitch Mounted Bike Rack for Additional Ground Clearance
  A hi-low adapter like the part # RM-048-6 you mentioned is designed for a rolling load like a vehicle being flat towed behind a motorhome.

• Parts Needed To Flat Tow a 2014 Jeep Wrangler 2-Door
  All of the base plates for your 2014 Jeep Wrangler are going to require drilling. I do recommend going with the Roadmaster # RM-521448-5 which offers the direct connect arms.

• Parts Needed To Flat Tow a 2024 Ford Escape
  Since the 2024 Ford Escape is unchanged from the 2023 I see no reason you would not be able to use the Roadmaster Base Plate # RM77GR on the Hybrid trims.

• High/Low Hitch Adapter with 6-Inches of Rise for Use with Hitch Cargo Carrier
  Use of a hitch adapter like Roadmaster # RM-048-6, which offers 6-inches of rise, will have the effect of reducing your hitch's capacity by 50-percent. This results from the change in geometry - the load being further away from the hitch - and is a common side-effect of hitch adapters. If you use this adapter your hitch capacity will be 250-lbs, and after you account for the 70-lb weight of the carrier you will then have an actual cargo weight capacity of 180-lbs (250 - 70 = 180). This...

• Does Hitch High-Low Adapter reduce both vehicle and hitch tongue weight?
  When using a high-low adapter like # RM-048-6 with a cargo carrier, the hitch receiver tongue weight only is cut in half (reduced by 50%). For instance if your hitch is rated for 350 lbs tongue weight, then you would reduce that to 175 lbs and also subtract the weight of your cargo carrier. That would give you the carrying capacity of your combined components.

  Demco has confirmed that their Commander Tow Bar part # DM9511012 does work with the Tabless base plate kits like the part # DM9519339 that fits your 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL.

• High Low Adapter for a Vehicle Hitch that Sits 5 inches Higher than Level
  I would go with the 6 inch Roadmaster High-Low Adapter part # RM-048-6. Being an inch off either way would not be a big deal, but I would rather have your tow vehicle pulling slightly up than down as down usually wears tires and suspension components on towed vehicles.

• Can Roadmaster High-Low Adapter be Used to Carry Scooter in Front Mount Hitch on Dodge Ram 2500
  In the past, Roadmaster did NOT recommend using the High-Low adapters for anything other than flat towing a vehicle, as they had never tested them for any other purpose. They have since said the adapters such has # RM-048-6 can be used on hitch accessories as long as its 400 lb tongue weight and 10,000 lb towing capacity isn't exceeded. This means that no more than 400 lbs of downward force can be applied to the adapter so the combined weight of the scooter and carrier cannot exceed 400...
