• 2017 Nissan Versa Note Roof Rack by Rhino Rack & Kayak Carrier
• Hi, yes I have a great suggestion for what you are looking for, the Rhino Rack Vortex Aero Bar, part # RRVA118B-2.

• Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2015 Nissan Versa Note SR with Spoiler
• With the spoiler at the top of the rear hatch the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top rack # HRF2 or # HRF2-3 are the only racks I recommend for your 2015 Nissan Versa Note and Hollywood does list them as a fit for your vehicle. The top strap hooks you will likely need to work in from the corners of the gap between the hatch and the roof line.

• Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2015 Nissan Versa Note
• You can use a trunk mount bike rack with your 2015 Nissan Versa Note but since the vehicle has that spoiler-like trim piece at the top there is only one trunk mount bike rack that I recommend, the Yakima Fullback # Y02634. This rack was designed for vehicle like yours. A regular trunk mount rack will put stress on the spoiler. The Fullback rack is designed to prevent this, hopefully, your spoiler will not interfere. I have linked a video showing how it works. A hitch might actually be...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2014 Nissan Versa Note
• I recommend the Curt hitch # C11378 as the towing capacity is 2,000 pounds and will have a maximum tongue weight of 200 pounds. It's corrosion resistant and the fully welded steel construction ensures great strength and durability. If you plan on doing any light duty towing, I recommend the ball mount # C45521 and a pin and clip # F-4, 2-inch hitch ball # 19258 or 1-7/8 hitch ball # 19256 and wiring by Tow Ready # 118582. I would double check your owner's manual to determine if your...

• Trailer Hitch for a 2015 Nissan Versa Note SR
• The Curt trailer hitch # C11378 is listed as a fit for all models of the 2015 Nissan Versa Note. But with this or any hitch for your Versa Note there is some fascia trimming required for installation. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you and a video of the install for you to see exactly what is entailed. Curt trailer hitch # C11256 will not fit your Versa Note because it only fits the regular Versa. The Versa and Versa Note are different models.

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2015 Nissan Versa Note
• For your 2015 Nissan Versa Note there is only a Class I hitch available, the Curt # C11378. Hitches with 2 inch receivers are typically only seen on vehicles with higher towing capacities like trucks and SUVs. You wouldn't be able to use a wheelchair carrier with this hitch as they would weigh way too much. Using hitch adapters also cuts the capacity of the hitch by 50 percent as well. Using an adapter on your car would cause damage to the hitch, vehicle, and pose a safety hazard.

• Recommended Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier for a 2014 Nissan Verse Note
• You are absolutely correct that for your 2014 Nissan Versa Note, you will need a roof rack and a kayak carrier. For your roof rack, I recommend the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars, part # TH711220.

To mount the crossbars, you will need the Evo Clamp Feet, part # TH710501, and the Fit Kit for Thule Evo Clamp Roof Rack Feet, part # TH145168. As for...

• How to Carry 3 Bikes on a 2015 Nissan Versa Note
• The Curt hitch part # C11378 that you have is the only hitch available to fit you Versa Note. It is a Class I hitch. On a class one hitch you can't ever carry more than 2 bikes at a time as it can cause damage, like you are experiencing. Your car is not built to be able to handle the extra leverage caused by adding that third bike. While the extra weight is a factor, the biggest factor is the fact that third bike is place farther away from the vehicle. That distance causes too much...

• Which Base Plate Kit Will be Easier to Install for 2015 Nissan Versa Note
• For your 2015 Nissan Versa Note both the Blue Ox base plate part # BX1852 and the Roadmaster part # RM-52357-4A are going to require very similar installs. Both require removal of an extensive portion of the front end of the vehicle. If it were me I would go with the Roadmaster as it seems the instructions are a bit more thorough and there isn't the same amount of fascia trimming as the Blue Ox. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting,...

• Differences Between the Blue Ox Aventa LX and Alpha Tow Bars
• Both the Blue Ox tow bars you mentioned are excellent tow bars that will work well. The Avail # BX7420 is considered the nicer one because it has the higher capacity like you mentioned and because it has longer arms. This allows for more clearance while executing turns. The base plate to use on your 2015 Nissan Versa Note is the Blue Ox kit part # BX1852 which has been confirmed as a fit. I attached review videos for both tow bars for you to check out as well. For lighting you can use...

• Will Trunk Bike Rack Work on 2015 Nissan Versa Note without Damaging it
• The Thule part # TH88VR is a confirmed fit for your 2015 Nissan Versa Note. The key to using trunk racks like this is to keep the vehicle you install the rack on as clean as possible and to not overload the rack. If you keep the rack and the vehicle clean there won't be any scratches, and if you don't overload the rack there wouldn't be any dents. It also helps to put down a fresh coat of wax on the vehicle's paint as well. It's also really important to remove the rack when not in use. I...

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2014 Nissan Versa Note Behind an RV
• When on a tow dolly the vehicle steering wheel should be locked so its wheels cannot turn. The dolly likely has a steering lock out or pin on it that you would have to remove or disengage so that the dolly can pivot while the vehicle is on it. That is probably why you had problems using the tow dolly. When flat towing the steering wheel has to be unlocked because that allows the tires to turn when the RV turns. The base plates and tow bar can more than handle the forces that allow this...

• Recommended Flat Towing System for 2014 Nissan Versa Note
• If you have an automatic transmission in your 2014 Nissan Versa Note, then you cannot flat tow it. You would need to use a tow dolly like the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes - 4,250 lbs # RM-2050-1. If you have the manual transmission, then the Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-52357-5 are a great start.

• Can Roadmaster Sterling be Ordered without Safety Cables
• The Roadmaster Sterling # RM-576 is only available with the straight safety cables but we do have the similar Roadmaster Blackhawk # RM-422 which does not have cables so you could use coiled cables like the # RM-653.
