Note: Bumper weight capacities vary by manufacturer. Please be sure to verify the weight capacity of your bumper prior to loading.
No matter how big your RV is you'll likely have gear you'd prefer not to store inside. This carrier lets you transport generators and fuel cans, so your storage compartments don't smell like gas. You can also strap coolers, luggage, and other bulky objects on it to free up space inside your RV. Lastly, it's great for carrying wet, dirty, or smelly items outside of the RV, keeping your interior clean and odor free. It has raised side rails that help prevent your gear from sliding off and provide multiple anchor points for a cargo net, bungee straps, or other tie-downs (sold separately).
Most RVs don't have hitches installed, so if you want to use a cargo carrier, you'd have to install a hitch receiver. However, this cargo carrier mounts on your RV's bumper, so you don't need a hitch to carry your gear. It's also designed to provide better load distribution across your bumper than a hitch-mounted carrier.
When the carrier is not being used, you can fold it up against the back of your RV. This is convenient if you need a little extra space at the campsite, if you're travelling but not carrying any gear at the time, or if you're parking close to a fence, a shed, or a garage. To fold the basket up, just remove the snapper pin from each arm assembly, fold the rack up toward your vehicle, then reinsert the pins through the holes in the top of the mounting brackets.
The carrier is easy to install. Just slide the mounting brackets over your RV's bumper, spacing them 17-5/8" apart (inside edge to inside edge), and secure them with the included M10 hex bolts. Attach the main arm assemblies to the mounting brackets with the included M16 hex bolts. Attach the basket to the main arm assemblies with the included M8 carriage bolts. The included support brackets mount to most RV frames to reinforce your bumper and prevent metal fatigue that can cause your bumper to detach.
If you outgrow the carrier later on, you can add an extension to increase its width. A 24" extension will make the carrier 84" wide. To install the extension, place the mounting brackets an additional 24" apart on the bumper, unbolt the junction between the left and right side of the basket, and bolt the extension between them.

Carry generators, coolers, and other bulky gear behind your RV with this bumper-mounted cargo carrier. You don't need a hitch to install it, you can expand it to carry more gear, and you can fold up if you need a little extra space for parking.Love it. That said, the zip ties all broke in shipping, heavier ties would have helped that. Consequently, there was some minor damage. The instructions are a little lacking. Some tips would be helpful, such as not tightening all bolts until assembled. We returned a different tray to buy this one. The material is not too light, it'll last a good long time. The generator, fuel cans and propane tanks fit well.
Dave F - 07/26/2021The overall quality of the product is good! Box weight was 66 pounds, so there is plenty of steel to support a heavy load. Assembly took maybe 20-30 minutes. Hinges are very strong and articulate quite well for no bearings. Haven't loaded this up yet, but it doesn't flex a bit when I stand on it (200 lbs). The product had some paint scratches, which I guess is to be expected since this was shipped across the country. A little touch-up paint will fix that. Note the product is not powder-coated, its just spray painted. Worthy of 5 stars had the paint been better quality.
So far I have only opened the box and I am extremely pleased to see how solid this cargo carrier is, I will be installing it myself this weekend so will report back once I am done with the install.
This was the easiest assembly and installation i have ever done! 30 minutes from unbox to taking pics. Love the product, well built and looks great too. Cant wait to use it on our next trip. Thank you for a GREAT product.
Great product except etrailer sticker peeling right off straight out of the box. Also not happy it took months to get the product.
I drug it across creeks and one river with a generator and miscellaneous crap for 23 miles on a Service Road (two track ) in Wyoming. Then back to Ga. and it held up awesome.
Perfect addition to add space for all the things we bring as a family of 6. Very durable. Sturdy. Easy to Install. We throw our generator, cooler, and tools on it and anything else we can get away with.
I was looking for a cargo carrier that would hold a generator but most of what is out there is the hitch mount style. The single mounting point of the hitch style is just not secure enough for something as heavy as a generator and will not keep it from wobbling side to side. This cargo carrier was super robust with two mounting points a heavy duty construction. Because it sits at or a little above the back more height it also keep a tie generator high enough that it won’t drag if I go over a big bump (I camp in some rough places sometimes). Very happy with this product and highly recommend it!
I bought a rack that was hitch mounted but this thing is rock solid. Mounted my generator, grill, & air compressor on with no worries going down the road. Looks great and it only took 3 days for etrailer to ship it to me. Thanks
Cargo carrier fit my Cherokee Wolf Pup 16FQ bumper perfectly. Install took less thank 20 minutes. longest part was searching for the correct socket drives and wrenches. Very happy with carrier and look forward to making great use of it.
I would give 5 stars because the overall product it built very very sturdy. However, even though ours was wrapped in foam and bubble wrap it was very scuffed up and looked as though it may have been used before. I don’t really mind getting a returned product but I would have liked to know first and maybe get a small discount before purchasing. I don’t want one now, and maybe that’s just how it looked from manufacturers but we did have to touch up several places with spray paint to cover scraps and chips. Etrailer as always was great to deal with.
Easy to order! Great pics and description! Absolutely great turn around on getting my package. Got free delivery and received the package within 2 business days.
The basket was very easy to put together and install on camper. I recommend this item for anyone that needs something to carry extra items.
Any thoughts on this? Speedy efficient delivery and exactly what I ordered.
