I do have a solution for you but using just a hitch-mounted carrier will not work. In order to carry a scooter on a trailer hitch mounted carrier both the trailer hitch and the vehicle would have to have a tongue weight capacity greater than the combined weight of the scooter and the carrier.
The trailer hitch with the highest tongue weight capacity that fits your 2012 Toyota Camry is # C12107. This hitch tops out at 350 pounds tongue weight so you would have to carry the scooter another way since it weighs 370 pounds.
The only remaining option is to put the scooter on a small trailer and tow it to San Diego. In addition to the hitch you will also need a ball mount, # C45017, and a ball to match what the trailer coupler requires. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and for a 2 inch ball use # 19258.
And to add a trailer wiring harness use # 118405 to provide a 4-Way flat connector at the back of your Camry. I have linked videos showing example installations for the hitch and wiring for you.
