The etrailer Hitch item # e98854 uses existing hardware that is already in your 2012 Dodge Grand Caravans frame. I have linked an installation video below that will show you their location and what you will need to do. You will want to skip ahead 1:47 minutes into the video.
You should have M10 bolts for the two bolt holes closest to the bumper, and M12 bolts for the remaining three bolt holes, along with washers. We do not carry these bolts. If for some reason they are not there you will... view full answer...

I spoke with my contact at CURT and he informed me that the CURT Bike Rack Strap # 18050 that you referenced is adjustable from 20 inches to 35 inches.
The spoiler on your 2010 Dodge Caravan is not designed to handle any amount of weight on it so I would recommend not using an attachment point that puts any weight on the spoiler. As an alternate mounting location I would recommend you attach to the rack at a lower point on the rack and then run the strap to the lower portion of the lift gate. view full answer...
The Equal-i-zer Weight Dist Shank part # EQ90-02-4500 has a 1,400 lb tongue weight capacity. If you are using this shank on a system rated for less, this won't increase the capacity of the system but it can decrease the capacity of the system if using the shank on a system rated for more. view full answer...
30 mph is the fastest you can go with a set of Konig tire chains like the Konig Self-Tensioning, Low-Profile Snow Tire Chains # TH2004205105 that you referenced. If you were in conditions that call for tire chains you really wouldn't want to exceed this speed even if the chains would allow it. view full answer...
The hitches offered for the 2013 Grand Caravan and Town and Country set back under the rear bumper at a different distance. The Curt # 13364 hitch has a 4 inch distance from the hitch pin hole to the rear most portion of the bumper, while the Draw-Tite is recessed a bit more at about 6-1/2 inches.
Based on the distance the carrier is away from the vehicle in the video, the vehicle in the video has the Curt hitch installed on it. This means that when installed on your vehicle with a Draw-Tite... view full answer...

We do offer tents intended for use with a vehicle like your 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan - the Rightline Gear # RL110907 - which mounts at the rear hatch, but we do not offer tents designed for a vehicle's roof. This spacious tent measures 8-feet x 8-feet and is over 7-feet tall. It is rated for a sleeping capacity of 4 adults. We suggest using tarp under the tent - Erickson's 10 x 10 reversible tarp # EM57032.
It is quite likely that the van's roof weight capacity would be insufficient to... view full answer...
The etrailer # e98854 mounts using the existing M10 and M12 bolts that should be present on the frame.

If your 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan owner's manual indicates the vehicle's maximum tongue weight capacity is 360-lbs, then that is the maximum weight that can be placed on its hitch. If the combined weight of your scooter and the carrier you wish to use exceeds this weight capacity then you will need to use a small trailer instead of a hitch mount carrier to transport the scooter. At the 360 pounds that you mentioned, you would be fine.
Exceeding the vehicle's (or the hitch's) rated capacities... view full answer...
I spoke to my contact at SumoSprings and she gave me the dimensions of the par # CSS-1195R that you referenced. The most important dimension would be the distance between the grooves of the spring as that is what fits between the coils of your vehicle. That dimension is 1.95 inches. That is why the part number ends with 195 actually.
The overall diameter from the outside of the spring is 6-5/16 inches. The overall height is 3-1/4 inches. view full answer...
When installed on your 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan, the class III Draw-Tite Max-Frame # 75579 measures 13 inches from the top of the receiver tube to the ground. The class III Curt Hitch # 13364 is going to measure 13-1/4 inches from the top of the receiver to the ground. Keep in mind that you would need to use Curt stabilizing straps # 18050 to secure the scooter carrier or the warranty on the hitch would be voided.

Capacities can range quite a bit on hitch classifications. The biggest and most important difference between a Class II and a Class III hitch is the size of the hitch opening.
