Before installing the hitch or attempting to tow the pop-up, you will need to determine the fully loaded weight and tongue weight of the trailer to ensure that it does not exceed the stated capacity of the vehicle or the hitch.
If you consult the provided diagram, you can see how this would be done. Completing this step is very important to avoid causing damage to your vehicle. In my research, I found several different dry weights listed for your camper that ranged from 2300 to 3000 lbs.

Many vehicles will have grommets somewhere in the rear cargo area that will allow you to route wires to the underside of the vehicle. The grommets are typically found behind the rear trim panels, in the spare tire well, or under the threshold.
When we installed the Curt Wiring Harness Kit, # C59496, on a 2011 Volvo XC70, we found a grommet just under the spare tire (see photo). The 2011 XC70 is the same generation as your 2009 XC70, so you should have this grommet as well. Sometimes the... view full answer...
The Draw-Tite Hitch # 75916 is rated for 4,000 lbs towing/400 lbs tongue while your 2013 Volvo XC70 is rated for about 3,300 lbs towing/330 lbs tongue from what I could find online (you will want to verify this in your copy of the owner's manual).
The Draw-Tite Hitch # 76227 is rated for 4,000 lbs towing/600 lbs tongue while your 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon 3.6L is rated for 2,700 lbs towing/200 lbs tongue.

When installing The Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 4 Axles - Proportional # 90195 on your 2012 Volvo XC70 the only other part you would need would be The Wiring Kit for 2, 4, 6, and 8 Brake Electric Trailer Brake Controllers # 5506.
Since you already have the 4 flat and the 4 flat/ 7 way connector on your Volvo The Wiring Kit For Brake Controllers # 5506 just gives you the rest of the kit needed to activate your brakes on your trailer.

The Thule Hull-A-Port TH848 that you referenced comes with straps for one kayak. So for additional straps you'd want to use the Thule kit part # TH521 and the part # y04031 and you'd be set. view full answer...
For your 2004 Volvo XC70, I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy RF Wireless Trailer Brake Controller part # TK94FR. This brake controller installs on the trailer and will not require any modifications to the tow vehicle assuming you have a 7-way trailer connector with a functioning 12 volt circuit. If you do not then you will need to add one and for that you can use a combination of part # C59236 and part # 37185.
It sounds like you also need electric drum brakes for your pop-up camper as well.... view full answer...
The U-shaped bracket is not something we carry, but we do have a much stronger assembly for the keel roller. I recommend using the CE Smith Deep V Keel Roller Assembly for Boat Trailers - Galvanized Steel/Black Rubber - 12" # CE10405G for a complete mount and roller.
We also have the CE Smith Universal-Fit Split Panel Brackets for Boat Trailers - Galvanized Steel - 1 Pair # CE10500G which can be used with the Roller Shaft with Pal Nuts for Boat Trailer Rollers - Zinc-Plated Steel -... view full answer...
From the top of the hitch opening of the Curt Hitch part # C12318 will measure 11-1/2 inches when installed on a similar VOlvo S60 like in the video I attached.
This hitch is going to basically tuck right under the rear fascia of your vehicle so if you are looking for ground clearance you would need to measure from the bottom of your rear bumper down to the ground and then subtract right at 2 inches. view full answer...
No. The 7-Way end in the # 47405 adapter is made for the North American style of 7-Way round pins. A European 7-Way, see picture, has separate turn signals and brake lights and a circuit for fog lamps. The tail lights are also separate.
You would need to fabricate a special adapter to get the 2 to work together. I would need to know which end has the European 7-Way, the vehicle or the trailer. It would also require a semi-permanent change to the connector on the vehicle or possibly the... view full answer...
The Draw-Tite Class II hitch, part # 36297 installs using existing hardware on the 2006 Volvo XC70. On the driver's side frame rail, the exhaust hanger bracket would be removed and the hitch would install using the two bolts that hold the bracket in place. The hitch mounting flange is sandwiched between the exhaust bracket and the frame. On the passenger side, the 2 bolts that hold the tow hook to the frame are used to attach the hitch. The tow hook is not reinstalled. The nuts needed are... view full answer...
The best brake controller that we have for your 2011 Volvo XC70 is the Tekonsha Prodigy RF Wireless Trailer Brake Controller part # TK94FR. This controller operates off of radio frequencies and will not require any wire splicing. You may also need to use part # 20142 depending on the voltage output of your Volvo.
Then for a 4 to 7-way adapter I recommend using part # 37185. This will plug into your existing 4-way trailer connector and provide you with both 4 and 7-way trailer connection... view full answer...
The hitch you would have on your 2004 Volvo XC70 would be a Class II 1-1/4 inch hitch like the # 36297 so you would need the 1-1/4 inch version of the Yakima Holdup, part # Y02445. This rack would work great for you.
Thule racks have been very popular for us so that is why they show up quite a bit in our popular bike rack lists. I attached a review video for the Holdup for you to check out as well. view full answer...
For all intents and purposes, both trailer hitch receivers that fit your 2005 Volvo XC70 are the same; they have the same bolt-on installation, capacities, and aesthetic on your Volvo. So the best option really is the least expensive between the two:
- Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12318
- Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 36297 view full answer...
Yes, two of the Malone DownLoader Kayak Carriers part # MPG114MD would fit and work great on the Malone roof rack part number # MPG216 that you have installed on your 2010 Volvo XC70. view full answer...
If the running lights are on all the time, even the rear tail lights, then it should be easy to find the one wire that is hot all the time. So what you would do is basically find the wire you think it might be when the vehicle is on. Then turn the vehicle off and remove the key. If the tester also goes off when the car goes off but comes back on when the car comes on then that must be the running light circuit.
You can use the video I have linked as a guide. It is on a 2011 Volvo XC70... view full answer...
I double checked just to make sure and there is not a hitch with a 2 inch receiver available for your 2004 Volvo XC70. Both hitches available for your vehicle, the Curt # C12318 and Draw-Tite # 36297 have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and are Class II rated. I do recommend the Curt due to its slightly higher 350 lb tongue weight capacity but please keep in mind this hitch is going to require the use of stabilizing straps # 18050 with all non-trailer accessories such as bike racks and cargo carriers... view full answer...
For the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness # HM11143735 the manufacturer does specify to run the wiring to the battery and use their provided fuse on your 2010 Volvo XC70.
My only concern with the running to an alternative source is if the correct amount of power is being supplied. The wiring that is ran through the vehicle that the mechanic used might not have constant battery direct power or enough amperage for the Hopkins harness. The wiring systems on vehicles as become... view full answer...
You are correct! When someone invests in a carbon fiber bike we automatically assume that they will want to take extra precautions to protect it. This is why we recommend a rack like the Thule T2 Pro 2-Bike Rack, # TH83JV, which uses a ratcheting arm to secure the bike by the front wheel eliminating contact with the frame. No contact with the frame equates to less chance of scratches which equals happy cyclist! view full answer...
The Thule DoubleTrack Pro XT part # TH92BJ is a really great bike rack and all you need to install it on your 2004 Volvo XC70 is a trailer hitch that is confirmed to fit like the Curt hitch part # C12318 like you mentioned.
No wiring would be needed as there are no lights on the rack. view full answer...
The Wiring Harness, # C59496, is the correct wiring harness for your 2006 Volvo XC70 wagon. This harness was designed not to interfere with any bulb warnings or sensors on your vehicle. This harness uses power from the vehicle battery to power the lights on a trailer, so it will not draw any power from your vehicles tail light circuits. The wiring harness simply uses the signal from your tail light circuits to tell the converter box when to send power to the trailer connector. It also prevents... view full answer...
