Notes:
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.Etrailer always does a good job for me. This is a reasonable way to get some extra carry space. I just installed it yesterday and it is just what I wanted. I'm only going to put a gas fire pit and a honey wagon on it so total weight will only be a couple hundred pounds. I don't know if my mount for the spare is a good idea or not. If not I will move it underneath. The bumper supports that come in the package are a must. They take longer to install than the rack.
The carrier is solid and well made. It is a nice addition to my Highland Light travel trailer. I installed the support brackets into the 8 inch I-beam. If you want to save a lot of time and effort, I recommend getting a couple of 9mm drill bits made for hard metal, the supplied drill bit was inferior and good for only one hole. Other than that minor inconvenience, it was a straight forward install and it's a solid piece of equipment. I also attached my spare to the underside as shown.
Did the bumper supports my way. Bolted through both sides of the frame. It was easier for me and seemed to me stronger. The cargo carrier was a breeze and fits nice. Took my time to work on aligning for carrier & spare tire for even weight distribution. It’s going to get more use for off the grid camping.
Order and shipped promptly. Easy install and fits the back of the trailer just right. It looks as if it was meant to be there. Very easy to use. I also like the fact when it is stowed upright I can still use my reciever.
So the rack is definitely stout! Almost to stout for a front mount! It’s HEAVY when fully assembled! Would have liked it to be a top mount on the bumper so it’s not such a lean on the bumper! The additional bumper brackets are definitely a plus! But it came with 20 bolts and nuts for a universal fit but no self tapping screws for my rectangular bumper frame! Will re view after next trip in September! Going deep into white horse and our ranch which is pretty messed up after the last storms in AZ! Only reason for the 3 star is because the bonus bumper brackets do me no good without the right hardware!If it holds up will update to five star! Will post additional pics after trip!
Easy to install, NOT MADE IN AMERICA...did I read "made in China" ? Signs of light rust after only a few weeks. It will do the job I need it to do.
This was just what we needed, our Class C didn’t have the room for lounge chairs, cooler, canopy tent, wood etc. Easy to install, step by step instructions. A nice addition for our Motorhome.
etrailer got me a great product, bolted on in a few minutes ! Shipping was right in time. Could not ask for a better experience! Thank you , now I can keep all the grilling equipment outside !
Our experience with etrailer has been first class from start to finish. The product itself was easy to assemble, well thought out and very strong. We are extremely happy with it. We have a short driveway and as you can see the rack folds right out of the way.
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.
The item was just what I was hoping for. The box came in and was beaten up a little. The The bags inside were broken open and scattered around the carton. But I was able to use what was there, I did add some washers that seemed to be missing. Once again great service from etrailer. Not sure about the heavy duty brackets,I can't even get to my frame to use them. Thanks Rose for keeping me in the loop. I'll be back.
After fussing with installing the bumper supports (installing on an I beam frame- real pain lining up the mounting bolt holes) everything went smooth...good instructions and seems like a quality product.
Received the cargo carrier on time but had minor shipping damage on the finish plastic end caps. Emailed customer service with hope they could send replacement caps but was sent complete support brackets that had new end caps included. Also included in the package was additional mounting hardware (that was not needed but appreciated). Not only is the product better than expected, customer service vastly exceeded my expectations! I am a loyal customer and will seek out products from etrailer before any other source. Thank you etrailer.
This is the perfect size for my 25' trailer. I do not load it down with really heavy stuff, but I do put the extra blackwater tank on it. At the sites I go to, it is great to have an extra outdoor shelf. The ability to fold it up when not in use is also a benefit at the house, where I can back the trailer just a bit further down the driveway. Installation was easy for me as my bumper did not require drilling or extenders.
This product is impressively designed and well built. However it does not accommodate, as delivered, to the rear bumper of my 2020 Keystone Cougar. I have have to make some major adaptations to accomplish the mounting. I am fortunate to have the metal working capabilities and materials on hand in my shop to do the required adaptation but I suspect that a buyer without these resources or patience would return it as unworkable.
The basic construction of it seems like it’s decently made. But I have a few issues, where the plastic and cab several of them were broken in the package. So now I am worried about water getting inside of it and it rusting. And then when you tighten up the clamps that go over the bumper it actually stays at a slight downward angle, unless you put some type of shim on the back side to keep it pulled upright. Also when I ordered it it said it had a 500 pound capacity. But in the manual it says it only has a 400 pound capacity which is a large difference. The instructions are not very informative. And then the instructions it gives you the exact nut and bolt sizes. Which we measured are not the exact lengths that the instructions say they should be. That’s not a big deal but it is a discrepancy. Have not used it yet but we will see how it works next week. Hopefully it doesn’t flex too much
The carrier work wonderful much better than the first one. Simple to install with a little mechanical knowledge. Included photo of the first one total garbage, I brought it from Camping World
Overall a great rack. Have had it for a year now. Its heavy, so you'll need to check the welds on your bumper and beef them up if necessary,as I did, because this rack attaches to it. I also had to drill the holes bigger where the pins go through to hold the rack up against the back of the camper, as the pins would not go through easily, but not a big deal.
This is a great product and I use it on every camping trip. My brother in-law has a rack that came on his camper but it is flimsy and doesn't hold a candle to this one. The install is pretty easy but the support brackets can be a bit of a pain, because you have to drill and secure bolts in a tight space. Overall, I would definitely recommend this product and I would advise, not going for the cheap option, because they cant carry much more than the spare tire bolted to it.
The cargo carrier worked perfectly it’s very well made and sturdy, Etrailer has the best info and videos of their products very satisfied.
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.
Works great. I did have to make some modifications due to the bumper being just under the rear of the trailer. I purchased 2 bolt on receiver hitches and welded the brackets to the insert. Works great!
First off, I appreciate etrailers customer service for another item I needed to ship back. They were kind and made the process of returning the item easy. Because of that, I chose to buy the Cargo Carrier from them and no one else. The installation was easy and when I needed to make adjustments to the placement on the bumper, all I needed to do was loosen the bolts and slide it down. This carrier held a 300 lb generator no problem.
Nice rack and very easy to install with the clear instructions! Solidly built!
The plastic caps in the end of the supports were broken. Notified etrailer to send me more. Everything else was good
