The Ultra-Fab Motorcycle Carrier # UF48-979033 would work for transporting your 2012 Vespa GTS 300 behind your 1995 Chevy Motorhome. It's the only motorcycle carrier we have that's rated behind a motorhome.

The Ultra-Fab Motorcycle Carrier is rated for a maximum capacity of up to 500 pounds. From my research it looks like your 2012 Vespa GTS Super 300 curb weight is approximately 326 pounds. The carrier itself weighs 51 pounds for a combined weight of 377 pounds, and this is well within the capabilities of the Ultra-Fab Motorcycle carrier.

This carrier is compatible with 2 inch trailer receiver tubes and is rated for use behind either vehicles or motorhomes. This carrier is designed for use with motorcycles and scooters. It has a a 5 inch wide ramp that is 39 inches long. Please check the hitch on your motorhome and make sure that it has 2 inch receiver and is rated to support the weight of the carrier and your Vespa and carrier.

Due to the differences in wheel base and ground clearance height, many hitch mounted accessories are not intended for use behind motorhomes. The additional torque, leverage, and bouncing that can occur at the rear of a motorhome can cause damage to the hitch mounted accessory or the cargo that it is carrying. Therefore many hitch mounted accessory manufacturers conduct testing of their products and indicate if the product is or is not rated for use with motorhome hitches.

I have included a link to the product recommended above for your reference.
