Cargo Carrier Recommendation for a 1-1/4 inch Hitch on a Cedar Creek 5th Wheel Trailer
Question:
Would the 63155 hitch be a better choice? In reviewing your web site further I saw the carrier had a better upswept bar for connecting to the receiver. It seemed to raise it up a little more off the ground. Thanx

Expert Reply:
The Curt 20x48 Cargo Carrier, item # C18145, that you mentioned would be a great choice for your application.
Using a carrier at the rear of a trailer subjects the carrier and contents to greater forces than on a vehicle, so you will need to be sure to stay well within the weight capacity of the lowest rated item, either the hitch, trailer frame, or the carrier. See warnings in the instructions link provided.
