The Grom is great for travel and perfect for running errands around our small town. How do you transport your scoots on the camper Jim?

Hi John. The scoots travel behind us in their own cargo trailer. Where it is legal, we double tow...
On this trip, it is legal in all the states we are passing through. When we went to the PNW, we stop at the state border, take the CR-V out, hook the cargo trailer behind the motorhome, and drive separate. Not our preferred way to travel, but it was necessary so we could get the car and the scoots to San Juan Island. We did this in years past, when we towed a sailboat behind a motorcoach and Joan was my escort vehicle with a Tahoe (that was also our launch vehicle for the boat).
At 229 pounds, the Grom would be light enough to put on a motorcycle carrier behind your vehicle (well, depends on the vehicle). With two scoots AND a car, this was our best workable solution. We could carry one scoot on a rack behind the motorhome and still be able to tow the car (double hitch adapter)... it would be one heck of an argument regarding who would leave their bike behind.
The cargo trailer then is the "portable garage" for the scoots. And, allows us to take whatever we want for riding gear and tools. Joan even suggested bringing both Emeralds, with one staying in the trailer. Um... no.
