The owners manual for your 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek states that tire chains cannot be used on your vehicle because of the lack of clearance, however it states that spring chains can be used when tire chains cannot be used. Spring chains are also known as snow cable chains like you mentioned and I have one set of cable chains that is a confirmed fit for your vehicle. The 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains - 1 Pair, # PW1038. These chains are constructed of case hardened,... view full answer...
The Rhino-Rack Ski and Fishing Rod Holder # RR572 is a great way to carry Skis and Fishing Rods. I like that Rhino-Rack has several different sizes available to fit your needs to how many skis or rods you need to carry. The mounting system will attach to the Crosstrek's cross bars whether they are factory or aftermarket aero, square or round bars. The included locking feature makes this one stand out compared to others available.

For you 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek we do have base plate kits available..
You would want the Roadmaster kit part # 52922-1A as it has been confirmed to fit your vehicle.
In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon 2, # RM-520. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground.
For lighting... view full answer...
Yes, I checked with Yakima and the Quickback 3 that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for your 2015 Subaru Crosstrek XV. We no longer carry this bike rack so I can't recommend it for you.
The closest rack to the Quickback that we still carry is the Thule OutWay part # TH56BV.
What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses only 2 retractable coated steel cables to attach to the vehicle rather than the 4-6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes... view full answer...
Since your 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek would come with a spoiler you would want the Hollywood Racks Over the Top part # HRF2-3 as it has been confirmed as a fit for your vehicle and would work well.
Check out the review video I attached as well.
Since you plan on carrying womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Swagman Easy-Out Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter # 64005 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes... view full answer...

We have install videos for hitches that fit your 2014 Subaru XV like the etrailer # e98838 but at this time we do not have an install video for the # 306-X7203 that you referenced. view full answer...
From my research your 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek has 225/55-17 size tires from the factory. If you have a different tire size let me know. I also checked out your owner's manual and it recommends not using tire chains unless you're required to. In the event you need to the manual states to use Class S chains and to install them on the front wheels.
Since you're not planning to use them long term (or at all if you don't have to) I recommend going with basic ladder style chains, like part... view full answer...
Subaru rates the roof capacity of the 2014 and 2015 XV Crosstrek at 176-lbs maximum. This is the maximum combined weight of everything on it, an aftermarket roof rack, the roof cargo itself plus that of the carrier(s) used to hold it. If you have a different model year you'll want to check your manual to confirm its rating.

The trailer hitch we offer for your 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek Hybrid that is the most hidden would be the EcoHitch part # 306-X7203 since only the hitch opening hangs below the rear bumper. Aside from it being the most hidden it's also a really great hitch because of it's higher towing capacities and lifetime warranty. I attached an install video link to this page for more info as well. view full answer...
Connecting the part # 30717 to the battery of your vehicle is actually pretty easy. All you need to do is run a length of 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 (sold by the foot) through a circuit breaker like part # 9510 to the positive battery post of your vehicle and that circuit would be complete. view full answer...
The best ways to remove humidity in a camper is to use a small dehumidifier (I wish we offered one) as well as a roof vent.
A popular option for a small vent that would do well for removing humidity but wouldn't necesarrily compromise security is the Ventline Vanair part # VP-543SP. view full answer...
There isn't an adapter that can convert a Baseline tower to fit raised rails so you would need to go with a Timberline Jetstream setup that fits your 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek with the part number # Y00428 and # Y33TR. view full answer...
I can absolutely help you get the right parts so you can get camping in an Aliner Scout-Lite. Since you already have the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13135 and 4-Way such as # 118467 on your 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek that leaves just the 7-way and brake controller, as you noted, and I'll give you a couple options.
The one I highly recommend is the Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 because of its simplicity. This controller just plugs into the 7-way and so long as you have a smartphone... view full answer...
We do not have any trunk mounted bike racks that will fir your 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek.
Instead, I recommend installing a hitch like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e98838. With a hitch, you would have many choices for a bike rack to meet your needs. I recommend the very popular and highly rated, Thule Camber # TH9058. The Thule Camper is the perfect 2-bike rack for riders who take their hobby seriously but don't want to invest... view full answer...
I've located on online copy of the owner's manual for your XV Crosstrek. On page 8-21, Subaru states that the maximum trailer tongue weight (maximum allowable amount of downward force applied to trailer hitch) cannot exceed 200 lbs. Unfortunately, any carrier plus the 190 lb weight of the scooter would exceed that 200 lb capacity so therefore I couldn't recommend using a hitch mounted carrier to transport your scooter.
A 300 lb rated carrier is what I'd normally recommend, but in this... view full answer...
If you measured without any cargo weight in the back of your tow vehicle, then you may want to add the load you would normally carry when towing and measure again. The 4 inch rise ball mount from Curt # C45070 would be a better option if that weight brings your trailer closer to level with a 4 inch rise. You will have some compression of your suspension when you add any weight to the tow vehicle and remember you will be adding the tongue weight of your trailer to that. This could cause... view full answer...
The best bike rack to accommodate your Trek Verge 2 E-bike is the Saris Freedom 2 # SA4412B. This has a weight capacity of 60lbs per bike and can fit up to 2-1/4" tires so it will be perfect for your E-bike. This secures the bike by the frame, so you will not have to worry about coming in contact with the fender/racks on your bike.
If you will be transporting a bike with tires wider than 2-1/4", then I recommend the Saris Fat Bike Kit # SA4419 which allows up to 5" wide tires.

Your 2013 Subaru Crosstrek XV automatic transmission can be flat towed if you don't have a CVT model which cannot and I'd be happy to help with a complete system for you.
For your base plates, I recommend the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BX3615. For this install you will want to use Loctite Threadlocker # LT37420. This can be used seamlessly with the Blue Ox Aladdin Tow Bar that you referenced (which is discontinued) or the Blue Ox Alpha Tow Bar # BX7380. That will come... view full answer...
