Expert Answers about Hitch Cargo Carrier Bag


  • Can Locking Cage be Added to Reese Hitch Mount Cargo Carrier
  • We have something similar to the 20x47 Reese Cargo Carrier # 63155 that essentially has a cage around it but there isn't any kind of cage/locking mechanism for the Reese carrier aside from putting your stuff in a duffle bag and routing a cable lock through it - which wouldn't be very effective. It sounds like you're needing a Carpod unit instead. For one with similar dimensions to the Reese carrier we have part # M2205-2201 which is just the cage or part # M2205-01-02 which comes with...

  • Recommended Cargo Bag for 2019 Nissan Kicks with 25 Inches Between Crossbars
  • You can really use whatever you want here when it comes to roof bags, but there isn't going to be one that fits within the 25" crossbar spread you're mentioning. Outside of a rooftop cargo box, the best solution is likely going to be something like the Rhino-Rack Rooftop Cargo Bag - Waterproof - 7 cu ft - 55" x 19-1/2" x 11-1/2" # RRLB200 which can be positioned sideways on your 2019 Nissan Kicks and shouldn't overhang the sides. I do recommend that you measure the width of your roof to...

  • Need Extension to Raise Hitch-Mount Cargo Tray Above Exhaust on 2013 Dodge Durango
  • If you are using a hitch-mount cargo carrier like the Reese Cargo Carrier # 63153 in the 2-inch hitch on your 2012 Dodge Durango exhaust heat can indeed be an issue on long drives and/or in warmer weather. Hitch adapters are available, such as the Malone Dual Purpose Hitch Receiver for 2-Inch Trailer Hitches # MPG544 that you referenced.

  • Adding a License Plate Bracket to Carpod Hitch Mount Cargo Carrier
  • Unfortunately, we do not have a license plate bracket specifically designed to be used with the Carpod Carrier # M2205-01-02 but we have a number of trailer license plate brackets that could possibly be used. I've linked our selection for you. One example that is quite versatile is # CR79150 which has a number of openings that could be used to mount it to the carrier. Using zip ties or something similar would probably work just fine.

  • 2012 Honda Crosstour Roof Rack and Cargo Box and Bag Recommendations
  • I'd be more than happy to help you out! Since your plan is to keep the cargo loaded on your vehicle while at a hotel you'll want to stick with a cargo box. The roof bags are convenient but they offer zero amount of security and someone can easily clip off the straps and run away with the bag like you said. The only way I can recommend a cargo bag is if you're able to store it inside the vehicle during the night. With all of that being said, here are the parts I recommend for your application: Inno...

  • Best Ways to Use Covered Cargo Carrier and Bike Rack at Back of RV
  • I have some options for you to check out but you don't want to use 2 hitch adapters because it not only causes more movement for your accessories but it also causes more torque to be placed on your hitch receiver so the weight of everything is increased exponentially and can cause something to fail. If you already have both the Yakima bike rack and cargo box then the best solution I have for you is the Replacement Shank for Gen-Y Adjustable Ball Mount # 325-GH-305 which can be flipped...

  • Hitch & Cargo Carrier For Food Truck
  • That sounds like awesome ideas to enhance your food truck. The best that we can do is find a standard trailer hitch that can fit your trailer based on the dimensions you need. For example a hitch like # 13703 could work well for you as long as your frame is between 22 and 72 inches wide. In regards to any other enhancements like swing arms we don't build options like that at etrailer.com. Although we don't build custom carriers, you may want to consider a product like the Carpod Walled...

  • Suspension Solution for Low Ground Clearance from Hitch on 2018 Toyota Sienna
  • The popular Toyota Sienna and Honda Odyssey passenger vans share the trait of having a pretty low stance with not much ground clearance - even before you bolt on a hitch like the Draw-Tite # 76112. By the time you add the weight of passengers and a hitch-mounted cargo load you can end up with several inches less clearance. The solution to stiffen the van's rear suspension to reduce this sagging is an air bag kit # AL60732 from AirLift. This fits both 2WD and 4WD versions and installation...

  • Recommended Cargo Carrier for 2 Inch Hitch That is Close to 60 x 36 Dimensions
  • I'm not aware of any cargo carrier that is 36". An alternative would be the 24x60 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs # C18152, which doesn't slide out, but provides you with a similar sized cargo carrier that fits in a 2" hitch. I've linked a review video of this carrier, as well as linked our entire selection of hitch mounted cargo carriers for you to see if there is something else that better suits your needs.

  • Carrying 4 Bikes and a Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier on an RV Trailer Hitch Receiver
  • Using the Malone Dual Hitch Receiver # MPG544 will be difficult with a bike rack and cargo carrier. The bike rack will not give you much room for cargo on the carrier. Even if the bike rack's shank has a rise it'll only be 3 or 4 inches. You may be able to add a front mount hitch on your RV and then carry either the cargo carrier or bike rack on the front. Since an RV has a longer wheelbase than a typical vehicle not all accessories are designed to withstand the additional bouncing around...
