• Availability Of A Bike Rack/Cargo Carrier Combination Rated For RV Use
• I am sorry but we do not offer a RV bike rack/cargo carrier combination. Hollywood rack used to make such a carrier, but it was not rated for RV use, and it has been discontinued for about a year now. We do offer RV rated bike racks like the Hollywood rack Rv Rider # HLY64FR. This is made with RV use in mind, and can carry two bikes weighing up to 80 lbs apiece. We also have cargo carriers like the # 63153. This is a 24" by 60" platform rated for 500 lbs. Unfortunately there is not...

• Can 84" Wide etrailer Cargo Carrier be Converted to 60" Wide & Can 60" Wide be Converted to 84" Wide
• The answer is actually yes to both; you can convert the 84" wide carrier to a 60" wide carrier, and conversely the 60" carrier can be converted to an 84" wide carrier with the extension. To go from 60" to 84" here's what you'd need: - 24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier for RV Bumper # e99049 - 24" Extension for etrailer Bumper Mounted RV Cargo Carrier # e99052 The extension comes with the longer carrier, so you would just need to remove it to convert the 24x84 etrailer Cargo Carrier for RV...

• Will Cargo Carrier for RV Bumper be Able to Fold up With Ladder on RV
• With a ladder on the back of your RV it is unlikely you will still be able to fold up the 24 x 84 etrailer Cargo Carrier for RV Bumpers # e96ZR. Reason why is when the carrier folds up it takes up all the space of the bumper, so unless your bumper protrudes out past where the ladder is you won't be able to. If you want that folding feature, and your ladder is off to the side, a carrier with less width will be able to fold up as you can mount it on the side of the ladder. Granted they may...

• Is My Cargo Carrier Legal or Illegal?
• From my research, I discovered that most states require brake lights on any accessory if the accessory blocks the view of the vehicle's taillights.

• Will Filling Your RV Bumper With Spray Foam Increase The Load Capacity
• No, just adding in spray foam will not increase the capacity of the bumper in order to hold the 24x64 etrailer Cargo Carrier # e83YR. The main figure for an RV bumper's capacity is how strong the connection is to the trailer frame, which is why we offer the Mount-n-Lock SafetyStruts Universal RV Bumper Support Brackets # MO34VR to help support the extra weight that the cargo carrier puts on the bumper. Filling the bumper with spray foam would actually just increase its overall weight,...

• Is Cargo Carrier for RV Bumper Lockable
• While there isn't a lockable version, there is a way to add security to the 24x64 etrailer Cargo Carrier for RV Bumper # e83YR. Since this mounts to your bumper, what you can do is use a cable lock, wrapping it around the carrier and your bumper. For this use the Trimax Thex Super Chain Lock - 5' Long # TMX26ZR. This is a hardened steel chain that resists up to 11 tons of cutting force, which means your average thief just isn't going to be able to snag the carrier or your generator.

• How to Secure Removable Cargo Box from Rola Tilting Enclosed Cargo Carrier

I checked with my contact at Rola and confirmed that no optional lock kit is offered for this item for that particular application. However, it is certainly possible...

• Does Tongue Weight for Hitch on 2014 Dodge Challenger Include Cargo Carrier
• The weight of the cargo carrier as well as the weight of the cargo is included in the tongue weight for a hitch on your 2014 Dodge Challenger.
