There was a thread on here in the past week or so about bike lifts. This company, HydraLift makes them and they have a version that will lift a quad so it would do also for a scooter. They are attached to the MH frame and if you have a hitch you don't need to touch it.

Extending a hitch to carry or allow space for the scooter plus still be strong enough to tow would be difficult.

The other option is to put in a handicapped door and lift and keep the scooter inside the MH. I have modified our MH for handicapped and use a StrongArm lift and I believe they are rated for 500#. I know ours can lift the wife in her power chair without problems, not that she and the powerchair weight 500# If you go to our web site there are pictures of the lift.

In many cities you can find these lifts on Craigslist.
