carry rack for a moped

admin

i made this moped carrier for customer so he could haul his moped behind his camper.  used 2 1/2 square tubing which is welded to the frame with 7018. 2 inch tubing slides into big tubing and bolts in. ramp and rack also bolt on. 1/8 plate for rack and ramp. 3/8 for tie downs. was gonna weld everything solid but thought it might take an army to take it off and put it back in. trying to make it easier for the customer.

Reply:Now that's mobile welding.  Was the guy actually sittin' inside watchin' satelite TV while you were workin'?  Or is this a later picture.I think it looks good.  Amazing what somer RVers put on the back, and top of their rigs."Any day above ground is a good day"http://www.farmersamm.com/
Reply:yeah he was sitting there reading a newspaper. another guy stopped by on his moped and checked it out. might be building him one to.camper is a fifth wheel so can't haul it in the bed.
Reply:thanks, i don't know why he has his dish set up for three receivers. just now noticed it.
Reply:I can answer the Dish question for you. A lot of us take our toys out and camp for a week or two and take our kids. You can have a tv in the master bed and a tv in the kids bed and one in the dining area.Also, it's cheaper to just grab your boxes out of the house and hook them up in the RV. nobody is at home if you are in the RV so nobody misses the boxes. Just how it goes.Lincoln Power Mig 210MP MIGLincoln Power Mig 350MP - MIG and Push-PullLincoln TIG 300-300Lincoln Hobby-Weld 110v  Thanks JLAMESCK TIG TORCH, gas diffuser, pyrex cupThermal Dynamics Cutmaster 101My brain

Reply:Clean work patrick.....Any foreseen problems with approach angle on driveways and such? It's hard to tell from the pics but it looks like it's fairly low?http://all-a-cart.comWelding Cart Kits and accessories

Reply:ztfab i see your point but this is a fifth wheel with slide outs so it sits higher. right now its about 2 feet off of the ground. so i don't think it will hit. in case it does i can always cut some length off and redrill the holes.sorry skwerly no pics with moped yet. hopefully i can get some. thanks for the compliments.

Reply:it's something to keep in mind though. at times it's hard to think of everything when your building a project.
