Vespa Scooter 250#

I have a new 2017 Flying Cloud 19' and would like to see if there is a reasonable way to bring my Vespa LXV 150cc Scooter, 250#, along with me.
I have searched most the forums and see lots of info about motorcycle hitch racks for motorhomes, but nothing about a truck pulling a trailer approach. Obviously I could put in the bed of the truck, but would limit my other supplies. Any ideas for bringing the scooter along.

Am also curious to see what solutions are out there. I got rid of my Vespa before acquiring my first Airstream.

Sure do miss it!

My scooter goes in the bed. Other solutions are not structurally feasible or I just don't plain like them. There's still room for plenty of other stuff in the bed.

Front hitch may be an option. Should be able to handle #500 lbs, the carrier would be some weight and the vespa.

Front mount is the only reasonable solution. If your tow rig can handle the weight. By the way, I feel your pain as I have a GTS 300, that so far I have left at home because it will over load my rig.
