  • How To Strap Down the Etrailer Cargo Bag # 988501 In The Bed Of a Truck
  • To tie down the etrailer Cargo bag, part # 988501, inside your truck bed I would recommend to inspect the inside of your truck bed and see if there are any tie-down points or hooks located at the front, back and/or sides of the truck bed. On many of the newer trucks they will usually have tie-down points located in the truck bed to tie-down any cargo. You could use the straps that come with the cargo bag or you could also use a truck bed cargo net that will tie-down and trap or hold your...

  • Can Pilot Automotive Truck Tailgate Net TR-02 Be Installed Without Removing OEM Tailgate
  • The Pilot Automotive Truck Tailgate Net # TR-02 installs using included brackets that you mount on the vehicle. Your choice of the specific mounting positions for these brackets will determine whether your OEM tailgate can still close and/or lock as usual when the net is installed. You can refer to the linked video on this item to see these brackets and an installation on a 1986 Chevy C/K series pickup. Please note this net should not be used as a tailgate replacement to restrain cargo...

  • Recommended Method for Installing Erickson Adjustable Ratcheting Wheel Net with Hooks EM58522
  • The Erickson Adjustable Ratcheting Wheel Net with Hooks # EM58522 can be attached to your trailer's stake pockets (presuming they offer enough strength for securing the weight of the car loaded on the trailer) but I still recommend installing a deck-mounted D-ring like Brophy's # RR5K. Their ideal placement will depend on your tire size. Once you have the nets you'll easily tell where to place the D-rings. This assembly offers a 5000-lb load rating and features an anti-corrosive zinc plated...

  • Does the Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket Have a Spare Tire Mount Included
  • There is not a spare tire mount on the Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket - 41-1/2" Long x 37" Wide x 4" Deep - 150 lbs # C18115, but this carrier could certainly be used to carry a spare tire smaller than 37" diameter; this is actually a fairly popular solution for many XJ owners. You can use the Curt Stretchable Cargo Net - 38" Wide x 44" Long # C18200 to keep it, and any other cargo you might store up there secured, or you could use a ratchet strap like the Erickson # 34414.

  • RV Cargo Carrier with Spare Tire Holder
  • The etrailer # e96ZR carrier that you referenced does not have a tire carrier specifically made for it. You may be able to modify the cargo carrier and spare tire carrier # Y07076 to hold the spare tire to the carrier. If modifying the cargo carrier is not something you want to do then I recommend a cargo net like # C18202. I am not sure if you would have sufficient clearance to place the tire underneath of it when the platform is down.

  • Reflectors for Curt Aluminum Cargo Carrier
  • Although the 19x60 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Aluminum # C18100 does not have mounting holes specifically for adding reflectors, there is a simple way to add them to this carrier. I recommend using 7" Long White/ 11" Long Red Conspicuity Reflective Tape # RE418T or Optronics Trailer Reflector # RE10RB, which will easily stick on the carrier's sides. Keep in mind you will also need the Pin and Clip # PC3 or Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # 63232 to secure this carrier...

  • Is the Curt Trailer Hitch Support Strap Part # 18050 Used to Secure Cargo
  • The Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13703 like most Curt trailer hitches will indeed require a stabilizer strap like part # 18050 for all non-towing applications. The support strap is designed to be wrapped around the accessory and then secured to the vehicle/trailer as you can see in the attached video. The strap is not designed to secure cargo to the carrier like a ratchet strap or cargo net would. Please note that bike racks that will be used on the back of an RV or...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2013 Chevy Equinox AWD
  • Some models of the 2013 Chevrolet Equinox cannot be flat towed, especially those with the continuously variable transmission (CVT). These models must be towed using a tow dolly like # RM-2050-1. This tow dolly comes with electric brakes, safety cables, adjustable axle and ramps, and adjustable wheel nets. I have included a link to the installation details.
