  • What is the Longest and Widest Option For a Bumper Mount Cargo Carrier on an RV
  • It looks like you were looking at the bumper mount cargo carrier options for your RV. The 24"x84" etrailer Cargo Carrier for RV Bumper # e96ZR is the closest option to the 56" x 90" that you are wanting. You are not going to find a cargo carrier that extends out from your bumper 56". This is because it would extend too far out and cause extra stress, because the further the weight is extended the more stress it puts on the bumper. Technically you could get multiple of the Mount-n-Lock...

  • RV-Approved Bike Racks for Use on Travel Trailer
  • There are cargo carriers that can be fitted with add-on bike carrier accessories. Good for you for trying to plan ahead! However any item, such as a bike rack or cargo carrier, that will be installed in a hitch that is on the rear of a trailer or motorhome must be specifically rated for that RV application. Regular bike and cargo carriers made for cars cannot be used on RVs. They are not strong enough. The reason is that the typically longer distance between the rear axle of an RV and...

  • Swing Away Cargo Carrier Compatible With RV Motorhomes
  • I was able to verify with Horizon Global that the Rola Swinging Enclosed Cargo Carrier for 2" Trailer Hitch # 59109 is safe to use with your 2022 Tiffin Open Road Allegro. The Yakima BackSwing Swing Away Hitch Extender # Y02483 cannot be used on your RV per Yakima. Since the Rola cargo carrier integrates tail lights you will need a Pollak 7 Pole to 4 Way Connector Adapter # PK12716 unless you already have a 4-way on your Allegro.

  • 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.

  • How To Mount Cargo Carrier For 2" Receiver in Receiver That is 2-1/2"
  • I have a solution for you, but there is not a cargo carrier available with a 2-1/2" shank. Instead you can use a hitch reducer like the Blue Ox Hitch Reducer Sleeve - 2-1/2" to 2" Trailer Hitch # BX88187, which will turn your 2-1/2" receiver into a 2" receiver and allow you to use the Gear Deck # H00604 you were looking at, or any other hitch mounted cargo carrier. This is a common and easy solution for adapting your 2-1/2" receiver, and is the best solution.

  • Recommended Bike Carriers for Use on Rented RV
  • As you have already noted, there is no one hitch-mounted carrier that can handle the weight of a dirt bike and 5 bicycles. Most 2-inch hitches that are on the back of an RV will typically have a maximum tongue weight (TW) or downward force capacity that tops out at 350- to 500-lbs. This means that the combination of the carrier and what is on it cannot exceed that hitch capacity. This TW capacity is usually noted on a sticker on the hitch itself. Be sure to confirm what that hitch can handle...

  • Availability of RV-Rated Hitch Motorcycle Carrier for Use on Winnebago 35F Motor Home Hitch
  • Any type of carrier that will be used on the back of an RV or trailer - such as a bike, cargo or motorcycle carrier - must be rated specifically for use on such vehicles. This restriction has more to do with distance and leverage than just sheer weight. On an RV or trailer, the rear axle will be much further forward of the hitch than with a typical passenger car. This distance translates into more leverage on the hitch and carrier, much in the same way that using a pipe on the end of...

  • Determining If Front-Mounted Hitch Will Fit on 2003 Itasca Horizon Class A Motorhome
