Price, it's all about the price
Folks,
We've reached the point with my 84 year old Mother in Law that she must use her power wheel chair to get around most all the time. That being said, I need to have a way to easily transport said chair when we take GoodWife's Mother out and about.
I am looking for commercial options to attach a carrier to a standard Class III/IV 2" square receiver hitch. Ideally its light enough for me to take on and off the hitch and has a ramp so that we don't lift the power chair but rather roll it on and off.
Hitches are on the back of the vehicles and I'm also looking at adding a front hitch for the Jeep JK and Nissan Xtera in order to preserve easy tail gate access for loading of groceries, etc. when we have her out shopping.
Looking for experienced input/commentary and if possible, photos of your set up with model numbers, initial cost and perhaps links or company address so I can gather data and compare.
Specific questions also follow:
1. Has anyone used front hitch carriers on the Jeep JK (V6) models and experienced air flow issues that caused overheating?
2. What carrier do you use and is it convenient to use the ramp?
3. Is your carrier light enough that if necessary my Wife could occasionally install and remove it, say 60 lbs and under?
4. Would you please post photos with make/model numbers and perhaps initial cost for the set up you are using to transport a power wheel chair?
