  • What Bike Rack Do You Recommend for My Aventon 500 E-Bike on My 2021 Buick Encore GX?
  • I have a solution for you. Unfortunately, since the Swagman XC2 Bike Rack for 2 bikes # S64650 has a maximum per-bike weight capacity of 35 pounds, you will not be able to use the XC2 with your 42-pound (without battery) Aventon 500 Pace e-bike. However, we do carry a great option for a 2-bike rack. For this route, your best bet is the Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # HLY64FR. With the RV Rider, you will be able to mount your e-bike since...

  • Can Roadmaster Crossbar Base Plate Arms be Replaced With Direct Connect on '21 Buick Encore GX
  • I reached out to Roadmaster, who said for your 2021 Buick Encore GX it was perfectly fine to replace the crossbar arms of the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # RM95VR with the direct-connect arms of the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-524443-5. So you can use them without any issue in order to attach your Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520.

  • Will Demco Air Force One Braking System Work With 2022 Buick Encore GX
  • Yep your 2022 Buick Encore GX with electro-hydraulic brakes is 100 percent compatible and will work with the Demco Air Force One Supplemental Braking System for Motor Homes with Air Brakes # SM99243. This is a really nice choice because it gives your Buick braking that is the same level as your motorhome; so when you hit the brakes on your RV, your Encore will get the same amount of stopping power, meaning it won't be pushing you down the road. Along with the braking system, there are...

  • Will There Be Large Overhang With 50" Crossbars On A 2023 Buick Enclave
  • The overall width of a 2023 Buick Enclave (not including the mirrors) is 78.7" so 50" crossbars like the Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00425 most likely wouldn't extend past the roof of the vehicle. We don't currently have a picture of them mounted on your specific vehicle, but you can do a bit of measuring to see exactly how far this would stick out. If you have flush mounted rails that run from the front to the back then you can measure across to see the spacing and determine how much...

  • Why Are There no Base Plate Kit fits for 2021 Buick Encore GX with Sport Touring Package
  • The lower grille of the ST package is shaped differently and that's where the base plate kits come through so that's why there's an issue. So for the time being you could tow it with a dolly like the part # RM-2050-1 and you'd be good since the front grille doesn't affect the fit on a dolly.

  • Why Does The Roadmaster Battery Disconnect USe The Positive Terminal Post Cable
  • Roadmaster released a tech bulletin about why the positive needs to be removed instead of following the vehicle's owner's manual and disconnecting the negative post cable. The reason is because if you use the disconnect on the negative side you'll lose your towed vehicle's main ground to the chassis. This means that all of the accessories that need to operate on the toad must be grounded through the connection to the motorhome which is too small of a gauge and the distance is too great...

  • Is There a Class III Receiver For a 2021 Buick Encore GX For Carrying a Power Chair?
  • Currently the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C94UR is the only receiver we carry for your 2021 Buick Encore GX. This is a class I receiver with a 1-1/4" receiver. You will not be able to find a class III receiver for your Encore due to the very low capacity of the vehicle for trailer towing and tongue weight rating. To haul most power chairs with your Encore you will need a small trailer like the Detail K2 # K2MMT4X6 so you can stay under the 1,000lb trailer capacity. For the trailer you...

  • Will Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit for 2021 Buick Encore GX ST Work with Safety Features
  • I checked with Roadmaster, the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit part # RM45VR which is a fit for a 2021 Buick Encore GX Sport Touring will not interferer with any of the safety features such as front collision avoidance, parking assist, etc. Please note, in order to complete your setup you'll need a few other items which I have attached below.
