Expert Answers about Heartland RV Ratchet Straps


  • Recommendations For Securing Items On a Reese Solo Cargo Carrier # PS1040100
  • I cannot recommend a cargo net for the 32x48 Reese Solo Cargo Carrier # PS1040100 and the amount of weight you will be carrying. A ratchet strap like the ShockStrap # SS99PV is going to be your best solution. This strap has the shock to keep tension on the strap while allowing it to stretch since the stress of the bouncing weight on the rack is most likely bending your carrier. This would explain why you are having issues with your current ratchet straps. For lighter items like your fuel...

  • Can Bike Racks With Ratcheting Arms Be Used on Bikes With Front Fenders
  • Bike racks like the Swagman Skaha 2 Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # S67SR can be used with fenders, but there is a chance that they interfere. It'd just depend on the bike, and how big the fenders are. If you aren't willing to roll the dice that this rack does not work, then I'd recommend just using the Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # HLY94FR which will absolutely work with fenders since it uses wheel straps instead, to secure your bike(s).

  • Hey Brett, yes a rhino rack roof rack like the Rhino Rack Custom Fit Roof Rack Kit # RR54GE with some ratchet straps will work fine with two 32' ladders. You're likely going to have a bit of hang-over from the ladders, but if that's fine then you're good to go. If you can let me know what van you have, I'd be happy to help get you a custom roof rack.

  • Recommended Platform Bike Rack for a 1-1/4 Inch Hitch
  • That all depends on the style of bike you're going to be using. The Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 2 Bikes item # HLY94FR you were looking at is a great option for bikes with alternative frames and fenders. It uses padded cradles with ratchet straps to secure your bikes by the downtubes or top tube. It does have a lower weight capacity at 35 lbs per bike and you wouldn't want to mount a bike with a carbon frame to it. If you have a heavier e-bike then you will want to go with...
