• Mounting Hardware for Yakima SkinnyWarrior Basket to Fit Yakima EXO SwingBase
  Hey Patrick, thanks for reaching out! The GearWarrior # Y37VR and SkinnyWarrior # Y07014 have different dimensions and when I reached out to my contact at Yakima they said they haven't given the green light on using the SkinnyWarrior with the EXO SwingBase # Y34VR. With that being said, the replacement mounting hardware for the GearWarrior includes parts # Y46QJ and # Y66QJ so if you wanted to try using your SkinnyWarrior, you're more than welcome to! Please note that you'll need 2 of...

• Can the I Use the Yakima EXO System on the Back of My 2024 Leisure Travel Van?
  Hello Daren, That is a great question, and one we still have not been able to answer directly. Can you please measure from your back axle to the hitch pin hole on your receiver on your hitch? Once I get that measurement from you I will be able to tell you if you can use the EXO system or not. If we had a Sprinter 3500 out in the parking lot right now I would tromp through the snow myself to get it for you. I greatly appreciate your time, and I look forward to hearing back from you.

• Swing Away Platform 2-Bike Rack Solution
  For a two bike rack similar to two Yakima HighRoad bike racks part # Y75FR that you can use with the Yakima EXO Swingbase part # Y34VR you'd want the Yakima EXO Double Up part # Y24VR. The channels of the Swingbase are not compatible with standard bike racks and require racks specifically made for them. Or for a similar pivoting platform bike rack we have the RockyMounts BackStage part # RKY10002 which is a little easier on price.

• Recommended 4 Pin Male To 7 Pole Vehicle End Adapter
  When it comes to getting a wiring adapter that goes from a 4 pin male to a 7 pin round adapter I recommend The Curt Trailer Connector Adapter - 4-Way to 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat # C57672. The harness is 17 inches, and has a simple installation where the wiring harness plugs into the existing 4-way flat connector and hardwires to the existing wiring to get additional functions needed for 7-way. I attached a review video link below.

• Availability of Swingaway Kit for Yakima EXO and Does Light Kit Fit
  For the Yakima EXO kits they offer a swing base with the part # Y34VR that will allow you to swing the rack away from the rear of the vehicle to access the rear door. Since the light kit part # Y74VR attaches to the rear of the rack it would swing away with rack and would work perfectly fine.

  While we have not used the Yakima EXO SwingBase # Y34VR on your 2022 Kia Carnival we have used it on a 2020 Honda Odyssey(see video below), so I see no reason you will not be able to use this on your Kia.

Here is a list of the accessories you can add to the EXO SwingBase. TopShelf for Yakima...

  The Yakima EXO SwingBase Swing Away Hitch Extender item # Y34VR you were looking at does not reduce your tongue weight capacity by 50%.

The Yakima DoubleUp 2 Bike Rack for Modular EXO System item # Y24VR is...

• Can the Yakima HangTight Bike Rack Be Tilted with Bikes Loaded or Be Used with a Swing Away Arm
  The Yakima HangTight Bike Rack for 6 Bikes # Y39GR is only meant to be tilted with no bikes loaded. That is how the rack was designed and tested. Could you potentially tilt it with only a couple loaded, yes. But that is not recommended and will void any warranty claim should something happen. There is also a chance the rack will not tilt fully before the wheels on the bikes come into contact with the ground. The HangTight does not work with the Yakima EXO SwingBase Swing Away # Y34VR or...
