Yakima Trunk-Mounted Bike Rack Fit for 2015 Porsche Macan
While there is a great option for a trunk-mounted bike rack from Yakima that will fit your 2015 Porsche Macan, I checked with Yakima and the Yakima KingJoe 3-Bike Trunk Mounted Rack is not a fit. Instead, the rack that will fit is the Yakima HangOut 3-Bike Rack # Y02638, which is also available as a 2-Bike Rack # Y02637. I do recommend adding the Yakima Same Key System (SKS) Cable # Y07233 with Lock Cores # Y07202 to secure your bikes to the rack as well as Security Strap for Yakima Trunk...

7 Pole Plug For A 2017 Porsche Macan S
To add 7 pole to your 2017 Porsche Macan S, since there is not an OEM wiring harness that is compatible and you have to use Item # 119250KIT, I recommend adding Item # ETBC7L. This kit plugs directly into your four pole plug and comes with everything to connect to the battery. This kit also allows you to use a wireless brake controller like Item # C51180. Using a wireless brake controller does not require you to run any additional wires to the inside of the vehicle.

2 Trailer Hitch Receiver Confirmed to fit a 2023 Porsche Macan T and Carry 2 E-Bikes
I recommend using the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH84FR which is confirmed to fit your 2023 Porsche Macan T. This will give you a 2" removable receiver so you will not have the end of the receiver exposed like you get with the Draw-Tite # 75940 when you are not carrying your bikes. If you feel you might also tow a trailer you can get the Kit # SH84FRT which I see you found as it includes the Towing Kit # SH79FR. The towing kit includes a ball mount and the wiring needed to operate...

Recommended Stealth Hitch for a 2016 Porsche Macan
The Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit - Custom Fit - 2" item # SH84FRT is a confirmed fit for your 2016 Porsche Macan. This hitch comes with a 7-Way, blade-style connector which mounts beneath the hitch to power your trailer's signal lights. It connects directly to the battery to avoid overloading your Porsche's electrical system. It is the passive wiring system. We do not have the active. I have attached a picture. It also comes with a ball mount and ball.

Recommended Bike Rack For Carrying Priority Turi And Zizzo Bike On 2017 Porsche Macan
The Kuat NV 2.0 # BA22B, Saris SuperClamp EX # SA4025F, and ThuleT2 Pro XTR # TH83JV are all considered wheel-mount racks, which typically means they will not work for bikes with fenders, like your Priority Turi. However, even if your model does happen to have fenders I recommend going with the Saris SuperClamp EX 2 Bike Platform Rack # SA4025F. The more robust design of the SuperClamp's wheel cradles (front and rear) along with their respective straps WILL allow the rack to work with...

Recommended RV Backup Camera For Airstream Basecamp X
There are RV backup cameras that replace a 3rd brake light, but based on the pictures I was able to find of your Airstream Basecamp X it appears you do not have a 3rd brake light that matches this type of setup. Instead, I recommend the Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Backup Camera System w/ Night Vision # FOS05TASF that includes a camera that can be mounted pretty much anywhere giving you endless options, and will only require you to connect the camera to a 12v power source and a ground. Since...

Why Is Stage 4 of CTEK Battery Charger Slower than Other Stages
Stage 4 of CTEK chargers is the absorption phase, this is a slow process on purpose so that the battery gets a diminished charge to top the battery off in the best way possible. This phase helps the battery hold the charge that it has by not overcharging. It sounds like yours is most likely operating like normal so maybe give it a day or so and see if charging progresses beyond stage 4. I have a couple CTEK chargers and have noticed the same thing. But once the charge is complete I noticed...

Install Picture of the Curt C13136
The Curt hitch part # C13136 that you referenced once installed on your 2015 Porsche Macan will look very similar to the picture I attached that shows it installed on an Infiniti Q5. Basically you are going to see the cross tube and hitch opening below the rear bumper of your vehicle. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.

Trunk Mount Bike Rack For a 2017 Porsche Macan
Manufacturers are doing test fits on vehicles. But, they only list the vehicles that the product fits and not all of the vehicles it does not. Your vehicle is a 2017 model year, so there would have been plenty of time for them to verify the fitment if there was one. I saw that you were looking at the Yakima HangOut 2 Bike Rack # Y02637. The # Y02637 is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Porsche Macan and will allow you to carry two bikes weighing up to 30 lbs. per bike.

Recommended Trailer Hitch Fit for 2018 Porsche Macan
The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75940 has not yet been tested on a 2018 Porsche Macan, so I can't confirm that fit. Instead I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13136 which has been tested and confirmed to fit your 2018 Porsche Macan. The fit is also compatible with the similar Audi Q5, so I've attached a photo and a video of that installation to assist. The trunk pan underneath your vehicle will...

Does the Curt Hitch # C13136 Fit the 2015 Porsche Macan
The Curt Hitch part # C13136 that you referenced is designed to fit your 2015 Porsche Macan as well as an Audi Q5. The install pics we have on our site show this hitch installed on the Q16 which has a different lower fascia than your vehicle. In the picture I attached you can see that the crosstube is largely visible when this hitch is installed on a Q16. On the Porsche models the cross tube is behind the rear fascia that will get trimmed slightly. It won't sit as high up as the OEM hitch...

Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2015 Porsche Macan
Yes, you will need a brake controller to activate the electric brakes of your 2015 Porsche Macan. You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would need to get that from your local Porsche dealer since we do not carry trailer wiring for you vehicle at this time. From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached...

Recommended Locking Hitch Pins Keyed Alike For Ford F-250 And Porsche Macan
For keyed alike hitch pins that fit with both your F-250 and your Macan, I recommend the Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock - Extra Long - Flush Design for 2-1/2" Trailer Hitches # e98881. These can be keyed alike by selecting that in the drop box and then selecting the quantity you desire. This locking pin is 5/8 inch diameter pin with an inside width of 3-5/8 inches inside width and overall length of 6-7/6 inches. This part is double chrome plated for maximum rust resistance and the covered...

Recommended Trailer Dolly For Maneuvering Airstream Basecamp In Tight Spaces
To manuvere your 2500lb Airstream Basecamp Trailer into a tight spot I recommend the Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly with Chain Drive # TVXL2 if your trailer uses a 2" hitch ball which is more than likely the case. The Trailer Valet # TVXL2 uses a chain drive system that lets you crank the handle to move the trailer forward or in reverse to save your back, and the built in brake is automatically engaged when the handle is not up right to keep your trailer from rolling away. I included a...

Roof Rack For Naked Roof On 2017 Porsche Macan
Most of our neighbors who have higher end vehicles, and do not want a fixed solution to a roof rack choose the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Vacuum Cup Roof Rack Part # 298-SX6000B. It secures quickly and easily with the vacuum cups and provides more than enough suction to carry bikes or surfboards. It provides a weight capacity of 150 pounds! Our neighbors prefer this design because of the installation process and the scratch free security the suction cups offer. It provides plenty of adjustability...

Installation Instructions for Trailer Hitch on 2015 Porsche Macan
For your 2015 Porsche Macan, I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75940. This Class III hitch is confirmed to fit your vehicle and will use existing holes in its frame for a no-drill installation. This will provide you with a 2 inch receiver opening that will work great for hitch-mounted accessories or towing a light trailer. I have attached the complete installation instructions below that you can look through. Note that the underbody panel or fascia will need...

How to Carry Skis and Snowboards with the Yakima DoubleDown 4 Bike Rack
In order to carry skis using your Yakima DoubleDown 4 Bike Rack you will want to use the Yakima HitchSki Snowboard and Ski Carrier part # Y02418, not the Thule Tram Ski and Snowboard Carrier Adapter part # TH9033. I can't confirm the Thule Tram will work with the Yakima DoubleDown but I can confirm that the Yakima HitchSki will. It is more cost effective than the Thule Tram and also lets you carry up to 6 pairs of skis, or 4 snowboards, or 3 pairs of skis and 2 snowboards. I have attached...

2" Receiver Hitch That Fits 2020 Porsche Macan

The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver Class III 2" # 75940 is an excellent hitch and has been confirmed to fit your 2020 Porsche Macan. This receiver hitch has a maximum weight capacity of 5000lbs and a tongue weight of 750lbs, which is more than enough for the towing capacity of the Macan. It has...

Recommended Trailer Brake Controller for 2018 Porsche Macan with Factory 7-Way
The brake controller I highly recommend for your 2018 Porsche Macan is the Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 because it is the easiest brake controller on the market to use. Since you have the factory 7-way on your Macan you do not need any additional wiring The Curt Echo will simply plug into your Macan's 7-way, as you can see by the accompanying photo; the only other thing you would need in order to use this brake controller is a smartphone. To set up and operate the...
