• Looking For LED Taillight Kit That Works With A Motorcycle Carrier And Bike Rack
  Hey Craig, thanks for reaching out. The etrailer License Plate and LED Tail Light Mounting Kit # e98943-44LED you were looking at is made specifically for the etrailer # e98874 or Curt # C18153 / # C18152 cargo carriers. It could potentially be made to work with a bike rack too, but you'd have to get creative and come up with a way to attach it like bolts or zip ties or something. If you're looking for a more universal light kit that can be used with virtually any carrier or bike rack,...

• Light Kit For The 24x60 etrailer Enclosed Cargo Carrier e54VV
  Hi Amos! We do have a light kit that will fit the 24x60 etrailer Enclosed Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 440 lbs # e54VV, but the brackets on the Light Mounting Kit # e98943-44LED are too large to fit between the slats on the cage if it was manufactured after Oct 2024 (the cage was changed after that date). You could modify them to make it fit, but I think you are better off using the following kit: Light Kit for etrailer Hitch and RV Mounted Cargo Carriers # e67RV This will...

  There is! The Reese Cargo Carrier # RP87KR actually has cutouts for adding tail light assemblies like what's included with the etrailer # e98943-44LED kit.

• Recommended Cargo Carrier Cage For A 2018 Pleasure Way Plateau XLTS
  Hey Carla, The 24x60 etrailer Enclosed Cargo Carrier Cage for RV Bumper # e34VV is designed for square tube RV bumpers, which your motorhome doesn't have so you'll need to go with a hitch mounted version # e54VV instead. This would require a 2" x 2" receiver tube opening and would come with an anti-rattle hitch pin and door lock to prevent anyone from accessing or removing the carrier from your hitch. There's also an optional light kit # e98943-44LED that can be added to make the carrier...

  I do have an option for you, but since your rack wasn't designed for any sort of lights the best bet is going with the # e98943-44LED which has lights and a license plate mount, but won't be too hard to get installed. Another customer installed a light kit like this on his Hollywood Racks # HLY64FR by using some metal to go into the extra receiver portion on the front of the rack. I included a picture of what he made and how it looks installed for you to draw some inspiration from. If...

• 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. As far as the legality of the length of the carrier extending from the rear of your RV, I recommend checking with your state's highway patrol documents. If you need brake lights for your cargo carrier, I recommend the etrailer License Plate and LED Tail Light Mounting Kit for Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier # e98943-44LED. The kit also comes with...

• Tail Lights for Motorcycle Carrier that Blocks Tow Vehicles Lights
  If a motorcycle on a hitch mounted carrier is blocking your vehicle's tail lights and turn signals then it will be illegal to use in day or night. If you have a 4-way trailer connector you can use a cargo carrier light kit, like # e98943-44LED. These are designed to be installed on a cargo carrier but they'll work for your application. You'll need to find a way to mount them though. Another option is a magnetic light kit. The Magnetic LED Tow Lights # TLL21RK plug into the vehicle's...

• Recommended Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier Light Kit
  I believe you're speaking of a mat that would be placed under a roof mounted cargo mat to prevent scratching the vehicle roof, is that correct? If so, use the # RL100650 non-skid roof mat. As far as the lights go, are you perhaps speaking of a light kit for #RL100650 or a hitch mounted cargo carrier? If so, we offer a few different choices but some of them are pretty specific to the brand or design of the carrier used. The # 98174LED is designed for carriers with oblong holes in the...

• Recommended Cargo Carrier for 2021 Hyundai Palisade With Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch
  For your 2021 Hyundai Palisade with the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 391HYUNPALIS19T, I recommend the 24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier # e98874. This carrier is different than others is that it will fold up when not in use as well as tilt away incase you need to access your rear hatch. It is rated for 500lbs.

• Recommended License Plate Brackets For Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier
  We do have license plate brackets that can be mounted on a carrier. If you are looking for a bracket with an LED light I recommend part # LPL55CB. For a lighted bracket with a replaceable incandescent bulb I recommend part # LP55CB. To install either of these lights the black wire would need to tap into the running light circuit of your vehicle and the white wire would need to get grounded. The best way to wire this is to use a harness like part # HM48035. If you don't want to install...

• Is There A Way To Increase The Distance Between Lights On Curt Auxiliary LED Trailer Lights?
  I may have a solution for you, however, there is not an adapter available for the Curt Auxiliary LED Indicator Lights # C53201 that will increase the distance between the light bars. If you just needed more overall length of the wiring harness then you could add Hopkins Endurance Easy-Pull 4-Flat Extension w/ 2 Grip Rings - Vehicle and Trailer Ends - 48" # HM47114 between the Curt light kit and the tow vehicle, but this will not extend the wiring on the light bar. Since the wires on that...
