ABSTRACT:
A carrier having special utility for transporting recreational vehicles such as motorcycles, bicycles and snowmobiles is designed to be used either as an independent towable trailer or, with or without such vehicles carried thereon, to be removably coupled to a towable travel trailer. This carrier includes a V frame structure having a hitch ball coupling at the apex for detachable connection to a towing vehicle and opposed wheel assemblies capable of quick and easy adjustment to be either in or out of ground engagement or, if desired, completely removed when not required. The diverging members of the carrier frame are designed to embrace and be detachably secured to a conventional tongue with a hitch ball coupling on a travel trailer, and a hitch ball is suitably mounted intermediate the diverging members of the carrier frame for registration with the standard hitch ball coupling on the trailer tongue. The wheels are in ground engagement when the carrier is not attached to a travel trailer and when it is attached to such a trailer, the wheels can be selectively placed out of ground engagement or completely removed. The carrier includes a support rack for articles to be transported and a loading ramp for the same movable to and from a loading position.
