Will the arms fold down, so they are not extended and out of the way, when not in use? (I want to leave it on the vehicle.)

Hi terry, yes the arms have a built in lever just for that and another on to tilt the entire device away from tail gate. Also keep in mind it is not too heavy and easy to remove. Caution, the add on lock cable lock is not long enough for multiple bikes you will have to interlace it with you bike lock. Last, remember it adds length to your vehicle .PARKING! if you have rear sensor alarms you will have to disarm them when you reverse. I know TMI. I would buy it againJohn

Sure do. The arms fold down so they are in line with the mast, then the mast will angle away from the back of the car so you can access the trunk. All can be done with one hand, which is super nice compared to the racks that have pins.

I haven't had an issue with it folding over at all. Not sure if that's because it is more rigid, or because it's not large enough for that to happen. The issue I have had with it is that velcros tightly, but not tight enough to keep it from slipping. If I don't move it stays in place but if I am moving around a lot it tends to slide. I think it can easily be fixed with a diy rig or tape, but I haven't tried that yet.

This unit folds up compact, the arms could come off, but there is no need to do so. You can take off the console if you want to it's held on with a knob. But it is not in the way when it's folded up. The unit is very compact and light.

I've got mine mounted on a Subaru Crosstrek. I never hear it when it's folded up, but it will make a "clunking" noise when it's got a load on. It's not a design flaw, just a consequence of how it mounts.

It does not fold. I have it in my garage, so space is not an issue. Storage assumes that it isn't in use. I leave mine set up and ready, with a rubber mat under it.

I would say probably yes. I remove it every time but can't say that i have actually tried to fold it up without taking it off. It snaps onto the two legs that go out to the wheels and they move when you collapse it. It snaps on and off very easily so if that is your concern i wouldn't worry about it. I can take the whole thing down and have it in my car and less than a minute probably.

I don't think so, when it folds up, it is pretty close to the vehicle....really don't think it would be secure outside of the spare tire range.

the legs do fold yes. Not sure how much space you have behind your truck seat though, so really cant answer that.

No. Once you put the handle bars on, it becomes one piece and cannot be folded.

I've moved it before in an SUV with the rear seats folded down. Depending on the width of your vehicle you might need to remove the keyboard from the stand to move it.

It does not fold but it disassembles pretty easy. It's not so big that it wouldn't be able to fit in a car fully assembled though.

I have an SUV and have no problems at all. It folds up without touching the vehicle.

I believe that as long as you store this unit without tipping it on its sides, the movement while driving itself won't affect your ability to use it. Leave it on its feet when you store it in your RV.

the handle bars fold over. I folded down the back seat in our van and would just slip it in the back with the breaks on. I am not sure if folding the handle bars down is much of a benefit.

It will not fold unless you take it off. Not a deal breaker for me since the adapter is so light I can easily store it to the side.

If you mean to put in a vehicle, the handle folds down. So, your answer is, somewhat.
