Expert Answers about Hitch Cargo Carrier Bag

• Is the Course Horse Hitch Mounted Golf Bag Carrier Still Available?
• I do have a solution for you, but unfortunately, the Course Horse Hitch Mounted Golf Bag Carrier is no longer available. Instead, I recommend a hitch-mounted cargo carrier like our etrailer Cargo Carrier # e98874. This is a 24" x 60" steel cargo carrier that fits a 2" hitch receiver and can hold up to 500 lbs. It features raised side rails and a mesh floor help keep cargo in place and provide multiple tie-down points. You could also use a cargo bag like our etrailer Cargo Bag with Mounting...

• Availability of a Waterproof Case to Store Equipment on a Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier
• The waterproof cargo bag I recommend for your cargo carrier is the 20 cubic feet cargo bag # 988501. It will include 6 tie-down straps to secure it to your cargo carrier, but I recommend a lock such as the Master Lock padlock # 141T to lock the cargo bag by the zippers. Simply insert the lock through both holes on the zipper to secure. I went to our warehouse to get the cargo bag and locks to ensure they fit too. See picture I included. The center underside of the Tow Ready cargo carrier...

• Trailer Hitch Mounted Enclosed Cargo Carrier Recommendation
• The Stowaway Max is an enclosed cargo carrier, but we do not carry it. We do have the Yakima EXO enclosed cargo carrier, # Y62VR, for a swing away version.

• Methods to Deter Theft of Rightline Sport 3 XL Waterproof Carrier # RL100S30
• Any fabric-type rooftop cargo bag, including the Rightline Sport 3 XL Waterproof Carrier # RL100S30 that you referenced, will use integrated straps to secure to your vehicle's roof rack or side rails. While it is possible to add a cable-style lock such as # e98891, this would only slow down any would-be thief. Since the bag's straps can be cut the lock would only provide for a modest complication for a person intent on stealing your bag and property. We do offer lockable cargo carriers...

• Is There A Lockable Container That Can Be Mounted To A Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier?
• We do have a few options for an enclosed lockable cargo carrier, but there is no lockable container that is made specifically to be added to the Reese Solo Cargo Carrier # PS1040100. We do offer cargo bags like # HCR628, which will fit inside the carrier and protect your gear, but do not offer much along the lines of security. For a lockable enclosed carrier we offer the Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier # M2205-01-02. This carrier offers a 48-3/4" long x 24" wide x 22" tall cage with a lockable...

• Trailer Hitch Mount Aluminum Cargo Carrier Availability
• Yes, we carry aluminum cargo carriers. Check out the Curt Cargo Carrier # C18113 or the # C18100. Since these carriers are aluminum they will not rust and they will be light weight. The etrailer Cargo Bag # e98990 that you referenced would work great in either carrier also.

• Availability of Water Proof Cover for Pro Series Cargo Carrier # 63153
• There is not a cover available, but if you are looking to protect your cargo from the elements we do have weatherproof cargo bags available. The Extra Large Cargo Carrier Bag, part # 988501offers 20 cubic feet of storage space, and is our best seller. The bag is rain-proof, but not water proof because if the bag is submerged, water will eventually work its way in. For a smaller bag, the Rola Expandable Cargo Bag, part # 59102 offers 9.5 cubic feet of storage that is expandable to 11.5 cubic...

• Largest Cargo Bag that Will Fit on Roof of 2010 Chevrolet Traverse
• Fabric cargo bags such as the 18-cubic-foot Rightline # RL100S30 that you referenced offer the advantage (over metal baskets and plastic cargo boxes) of having a flexible nature. Their soft construction means that they can adapt to the shape of your loaded cargo and to a degree to the vehicle on which they are installed. Unlike cargo baskets and boxes, some soft cargo bags can be installed on a bare roof that has no hardware (no side rails and/or no crossbars) and this can make them a cost-effective...

• Recommendations for a Moderately Sized Cargo Carrier for Traveling
• The Curt 20x48 Railed Cargo Carrier, part # C18145 would be a great choice. It can be used in Class II or III receivers and is economically priced. To protect your gear from the elements, a cargo bag like part # e98990 is recommended. If you will be traveling through areas that are prone to snow and have sloppy roads, an enclosed cargo carrier may be a better choice to protect your cargo. The Yakima EXO Swing Away Enclosed Cargo Carrier # Y62VR will work as long as you have a 2-inch hitch....

• Availability of Soft Fabric Cargo Bag for Use on Trunk of 2013 Nissan 370Z Roadster Convertible
• We do offer a wide range of soft cargo bags that can be used on a vehicle roof. One such item is the Rightline Cargo Bag # RL100S50. Since your 370Z convertible has no roof and no trailer hitches available for it, I do see why you are looking for a trunk-mount bag. We do not carry any bags specifically designed for trunk placement. You can see all such cargo bags in all sizes and types by clicking on the included link. You will want to keep in mind that the weight of the bag and cargo...

• It sounds like you are looking for a enclosed carrier like the GearDeck 17 # H00604 as we do not have a cover for the 24x40 etrailer Cargo Carrier # e99050. The GearDeck carrier will allow you to protect your generator and other gear from the rain and sun. You are able to Lock # 131D the lid for the carrier as well to add security to your gear.

• Could the Cargo Bag # 988501 Be Locked and Left Out Overnight at Hotel
• If you have anything of value in the etrailer Cargo Bag # e988501 you'd want to remove the bag and take it in the hotel room with you. You could try using a cable lock like part # e98891 and it would deter people from taking the bag, but the fabric of this would be pretty easily cut with a sharp enough knife which would render any type of theft deterrent pointless.

• Availability of Large, Waterproof Cargo Bag for 2014 Honda CR-V with Factory Rails
• I recommend the Rightline Sport 3 XL Rooftop Cargo Bag # RL100S30. This bag is waterproof to keep your cargo clean and dry and has UV ray protection. The bag has a corrosion-resistant zipper built into the underside of a protective flap to keep water out, while the flap secures shut with Velcro closures. The bag attaches to your rails using the 4 included straps. A couple things to keep in mind when using a rooftop cargo bag - first, check your owner's manual for the weight capacity...

• There are all sorts of rooftop cargo carriers for your 1998 Buick LeSabre, including those like the Rightline Gear Sport 3 XL Rooftop Waterproof Cargo Bag # RL100S30 that can install on a vehicle that does not even have a roof rack, to metal baskets like the Yakima # Y07138 and plastic boxes like the Thule Force XT # TH6356B that do require the car to have a roof rack in place.

• Trailer Hitch that Does Not Require Bumper Trimming for a 2012 Volkswagen Tiguan
• That is correct. On several of the trailer hitches for the 2012 Volkswagen Tiguan, there is fascia trimming required to install the hitches on the vehicle. Even if trimming were not required, you will want to check the terms of your lease to see if a trailer hitch can even be installed just to be on the safe side. If you will be doing some towing I recommend adding the etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip, and a carrying bag. For...

• Available Class II Hitch Cargo Carriers for 1-1/4-Inch Hitches
• The hitch cargo carriers made for 1-1/4-inch Class I and Class II hitch receivers will usually not be the folding type. The reason is that any folding/hinge mechanism will introduce a point of weakness in the carrier's structure, as compared to a fixed carrier without a hinge. When you are already starting off with the smaller 1-1/4-inch shank, adding more potential for weak spots deters carrier makers from trying to make a folding hitch cargo carrier for these hitches. The best I can...

• Recommended Cargo Carrier for Class I Trailer Hitch on 2011 Honda Element

Our most popular Class I compatible cargo carrier is the Curt # C18145. This carrier measures 20x48 (outside dimensions).

• Availability of Hitch Cargo Carrier to Fit on a Honda Fit Being Towed Behind a RV
• There is not a difference between the 2009 to 2013 Honda Fit as far as the size of hitch that will fit and the maximum amount of weight it can carry. The Honda Fit will use a Class I, 1-1/4 inch hitch with a tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs. For a hitch that fits a 2009 to 2013 Honda Fit I would recommend the Curt Class I 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, part # C11064.
