Will the Rightline Gear SUV Tent Work with a 2011 Toyota RAV4 with Hitch and Roof Cargo Carriers

Question:

Will the Rightline Gear SUV Tent with Rainfly properly fit on a 2011 Toyota RAV4 Sport no spare tire mounted on rear door that has a a Rola Swinging Enclosed Cargo Carrier mounted to the trailer hitch and also has a Rhino-Rack Alloy Tray Cargo Carrier for HD Crossbars - 4 Planks - 59 Long x 40 Wide? Does the open door when open stay swings inside the tent and the cargo box swings outside of the tent? Correct?? Thank you.

I have checked with my contacts at Rightline, to see if using this Rightline Gear SUV Tent with Rainfly # RL110907 will work for you with your existing accessories, and it should work great. Your rear cargo hatch door that swings to the side should have plenty of room to open within the tent.

Regarding your Yakima EXO Swing Away Enclosed Cargo Carrie # Y62VR, as long as it can swing to the side out of the way of the SUV tent (as you indicated you intend to use it), and the cargo carrier swing away arm when mounted in the hitch sits below your bumper then you are good to go.

For the Rhino-Rack Alloy Tray that you have on a crossbar system, the tent will not be large enough to cover the tray and any cargo that you have up there, but you will be able to route the attachment straps underneath the crossbars, or all the way up to your front windshield wipers for a more streamline fit.
