Video Transcript for Yakima Modular EXO System BackDeck Camping Table Review
Hi everyone, it's Evangeline here at Etrailer, and today we are looking at the Yakima BackDeck camping table for the Yakima EXO system here at Etrailer. This is a great addition to your pre-existing Yakima EXO system, so this works with a TopShelf or the SwingBase. Make sure you already have those. But this provides a nice, flat surface for setting up your gear, maybe prepping your meal, or just having an addition to your party. You can see that we have this loaded up with our camping gear. We have our stove.
We have our mugs. We have our utensils. We even have our coffeemaker. So, you can put really anything on this table as long as it's not more than 80 pounds. The table is made of treated bamboo, which means, while you can set up your cooking gear on it, this should not be used as a cutting board.
And I highly recommend putting a cutting board on top if you want to use it for that. I have this setup on our top shelf with a GearLocker on the bottom. This can be also paired with all of your other Yakima accessories. You can have the GearWarrior or the ski and snowboard carrier on the bottom, or can put this on the SwingBase, if you want to set up a table closer to the ground. The length of the table is 50 and 1/2 inches.
As for the width, it sits at 17 inches wide. The table is made of a durable bamboo, and it is coated with a UV-resistant coating. That means, even if you have it out in the sun for an extended period of time, you don't have to worry as much about discoloration or damage to the wood. It really is designed to be used with the EXO system, and kind of as an extra accessory to be added. As it is, if it's just a bamboo table, it's not anything super special, but when you add it to the TopShelf or the SwingBase, that's where you get the most out of it.
So, I highly recommend, if you already have the other accessories, and you wanna add a little extra coolness or a nice flat surface to work on to your entire system, this is a pretty good addition. For install, the table comes in a bag that can fit inside either your GearLocker or your GearWarrior, so you can just take that right out and then set it up. The bag opens at one end, and from here you can slide your table out of it. On the inside, you have these cleats, and this will fit into the tracks of your EXO system. Fit that into the arms of either your TopShelf or your SwingBase. They'll fit right on the inside. And then from there, you can secure it by tightening down your locking SpeedKnobs all the way. And once they are tight, you then use the tabs on the side right here to secure it completely. And once that's done, you are done with the install of your table. And that here was a look at our Yakima BackDeck camping table made for the Yakima EXO accessories here at Etrailer..

Add a camping table to your Yakima EXO system to enjoy extra work space. Perfect for meal prep, laying out gear, or mixing drinks at the end of the day. Simple tool-free installation on EXO SwingBase or TopShelf.by: Anthony08/18/2023
kinda pointless for my application. I have this EXO mounted to the rear receiver of my truck for use whilst using my slide in camper. the height is at my shoulders, so it is kinda useless to me. material is pretty thin. I thought this would be a cool addition and handy prep station.
by: Jonathan01/05/2022
Thank you! This system is frankly awesome. It is very well made and let's me transport bikes in the truck bed and have covered storage that we can unlock and just carry into the hotel and pre pack in the garage or hotel the days before the trip.

Per our email exchange, here are pics of the EKO set-up. I'll send you the table set-up pic in about a week (when we get to Key West.

We use this for extra storage in our class B campervan. I'm able to store all the bulky items that don't fit inside the van like chairs, mats, and our grill. I like that it doesn't block the license plate or taillights and still allows access to the Thule bike rack. The SwingBase allows both doors to open for full access into the rear of the van.
by: Joe04/14/2022
Very easy to install. Total installation time (not counting taking photos and opening boxes) was approximately 15 minutes. The only issue I encountered was the left handle on the lower rack had a broken piece inside the locking pin assembly. Other than that, everything was quick and smooth for a single person job. This will greatly assist my business by allowing more room for passenger comfort on long trips to and from airports with a large party. Looking forward to putting this to use.

We have owned our Yakima swing away cargo carrier for a year and it has been a wonderful addition to our Rubicon. It gives us all the room for our 2 large dogs while carrying our luggage to visit our family. It has been so helpful; it stays on the Rubicon all the time! The way the carrier swings out of the way was critical for the dogs to get access to the rear of the Rubicon. Can't live without our Yakima carrier!

Product meets all expectations. etrailer quickly replaced a broken Knob Assembly which was damaged during shipping. Vehicle is an Airstream Interstate 24GT. The swing assembly does restrict the Sprinter's right barn door from opening completely, but not a significant issue. We did add our own rear turn signal lights and license plate holder since the factory rear lights restricted ground clearance.

Good design with minor flaws. After 12 months of using main frame and one level container I have found rusting pin in the swing hinge and box perforation,probably caused by a small rock picked by the rear tire. This year I purchased the frame for the upper tier and a 2nd container. The upper rotaing frame is loosely fitted and requires some gymnastics to fit in the stabilizing screw. It is especially difficult with the upper container loaded. The securing screw should have a butterfly handle and a pilot point, like the one in the lower level.

Installed on 2017 Transit 350HD.
First order on etrailer and the experience was great; really fast shipping and great communication. I was surprised to see it picked and shipped so quick so late in the day, especially for how big this is. It comes in 4 boxes; one giant one and 3 moderately huge ones.
The Yakima EXO system is top notch, great construction. Excellent fit and finish, and pretty easy to assemble. Read the instructions and follow each step and you'll have no issues. I have a bad back and was able to assemble myself, the heaviest part is the swing away hitch - if you can lift about 40-50 pounds it is going to be easy to assemble without any help. I went slow and it only took me about 30-45 minutes.
Tips - the bike rack portion it's not super clear that the rails should not be tight when you put the upper bike rack on. Just set everything in place and it will make getting the bolts through easier.
Pros - it's as advertised. Super sturdy, no shaking/rocking, easy to use. The people who designed this system should be high fiving themselves, it's great.
Cons - none really other than one minor customer experience gripe - you're given enough lock centers to re-key multiple Yakima EXO accessories, I think 4 are included...but it does not come with a master key for removing the lock center. You'll need to buy this separately or do like I did and make your own. Considering they put the effort into including replacement lock centers and give you every tool you'd need, it's a weird oversight.
That being said once you replace the lock center on the cargo carrier you only need 1 key for all of the locks on the system which is awesome.
Ford Transit specific issue I ran into:
When the swing away is open there is a safety latch that holds it open so it will not fall closed on you. This gets in the way of the passenger door opening. But if you remove this (at your risk) you can open the passenger door fully and if you rotate the upper shelf you can even open the door entirely against the side of the van. Also it will 100% block your camera and license plate if it's door mounted.
Absolutely stoked on this system. The cargo box is awesome with internal tie downs and taking it apart to store it in the garage only takes a minute or two. I love how easy the cargo box indexes in place. Every aspect of it has been super satisfying to play with.
by: Cody06/21/2023
Unfortunately we can’t open rear of 2018 expedition with the top box in place. One of the knob locking pins is/was broken in shipping. I also wish all of the items were keyed the same. This whole setup is 5 keys. I’ll probably call a locksmith and have them all re-keyed if possible.
by: Ben04/17/2023
This is the perfect setup for family road trips when you need a little extra dry storage. I mounted this on my Rivian R1S and saw no change in range, as opposed to a roof mount system. I only wish Yakima would incorporate a full-size spare mount for the EXO. Also had a favorable experience with etrailer customer service, as one of the locking pins arrived damaged. They were quick to get a replacement part to me at no cost. I couldn't be happier with the EXO or etrailer. I know that sounds corny, but it's true.
by: Emily01/05/2023
Couldn’t love this more, adds all of the extra space needed. Locks integrated throughout make very easy to secure. Love that the cargo boxes can be removed individually, packed and returned to brackets. Two improvements which we would improve, locks are all keyed differently and would be a bit easier for us if they were keyed alike. Also, has a significant wobble once affixed to the hitch. We were able to fix temporarily with shims, and will be ordering a hitch tightener for future use. Not sure if this is a universal issue or specific to our vehicle type.
by: Robert09/26/2023
I think this is a great product except for the locking pin in the full swing out position doesn’t allow the right rear door to open fully. (Check photo included). If Yakima made a 1/2” shorter pin then it would allow the door to open correctly.
by: Matthew09/12/2023
Major flaw in the design. When using the box mounted on the bottom rack, You have to rotate the upper board/box rack 180° entirely in order to open the box… this isn’t super difficult but you actually have to swing the entire rack (upper & lower) out to the side to rotate the upper rack. This is extremely annoying if you just need to get something out of the box in a hurry. Additionally the turn knob/handle where you release the rack to swing out to the side, is right where your wheels throw all the mud, snow, dirt etc. so this makes for a messy event if you just simply want to get into box as stated earlier or in the back of an SUV after driving through any type of in-climate conditions. Another flaw was the clip rings should have been made with lanyard as we lost ours day one. Do your self a favor and by extra clips from the hardware store and keep in the box.
Aside from the flaws, the structural integrity is excellent, the mounting pin through the hitch is more than safe and secure, again a bit annoying if you want you remove the entire rack system quickly or even just after a trip. We ended up just leaving ours attached all winter due to the inconvenience. The box is made well, the rack holder’s are also made well. Quality of the product is high, just wish Yakima would have put a little more thought into the ease and accessibility of the rack in the way that THULE typically does. A simple 30° tilt up feature on the upper rack would have been perfect, additionally a 30° tilt down on the hitch mounting point for the entire rack to tilt would have given so much more ease to accessing the back of the vehicle.
We like the overall product and after spending so much money on it we have no choice but to keep it for years to come. Just might have to weld my own tilting brackets to ease the painful transitions.

Great bike rack and cargo carrier. I use it on my camper van and it is very functional and creates a ton of extra storage. Swing away rack works extremely well!
by: Kiley10/08/2022
This system is great for when you need just a little more car than you have. These lockers work great, are 100% water proof and easy to remove to put on your other accessories.
by: Mark 08/08/2023
The unit is mounted on our class b RV and has performed flawlessly in the year that we’ve owned it. The swing away feature allows us to open the back doors. Next purchase will be the bike rack. 4 instead of 5 stars only because of no response by the Yakima support team to a question asked just after we purchased it. E-trailer was great to work with
by: Hilary09/17/2023
We bought this set of back of the car storage carriers a year ago so we wouldn't have to rent a U-Haul trailer for vacation. Just finished our second month long trip.
We love it. Sturdy, well engineered. Would recommend it to anyone.

- Weight and Weight Capacity of Yakima BackDeck Camping Table for Modular EXO SystemThe Yakima BackDeck Camping Table for Modular EXO System # Y84VR weighs in at 11 lbs and it can hold up to 80 lbs of evenly distributed weight.
view full answer... - Is There Any Way To Mount a Table Below The Yakima LockNLoad Roof Top Platform Rack? I do have a recommendation as I do not see any way of being able to mount a table under the Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack # Y05044-39. Yakima released their Exo System # Y82VR which you can use with the BackDeck Camping Table # Y84VR. When not needed or traveling the table will fit into the GearLocker Enclosed Cargo Carrier # Y44VR on the bottom rack and will also provide you with 10 cubic feet of additional cargo space which is much easier to access.

This system can be highly modified and has many attachments to fit all your needs. The License Plate and Tail Light Relocation Kit for Yakima EXO System # Y74VR are the lights you asked about.
