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.

Note:
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 extensions to increase its width. A single 24" extension will make the carrier 64" wide, or you can add 2 extensions to make the carrier 84" wide. To install the extension, place the mounting brackets an additional 24" or 48" 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.I was going to build something like this and I saw this on etrailer and thought this is great! Easy to install also. I did modify the cargo rack a little to make it work for me. I have no plans on ever folding it, and I wanted the tool box to fit closer to the trailer wall, so I moved the cargo basket over the bumper mount/hinge and secured with new holes.
Solid built and easy to install. One issue I had was due to the curvature of the back of my trailer just above the bumper, I was not able to stow the rack in the vertical position without notching the rack in two places at the pin insertion points. A slightly longer tab at the pin insertion point would elevate this. Other than that I'm super happy with the rack. Also figured out a way to attach the spare tire to it.
Installed fairly easy, I already had installed the bumper struts a few years back so now I have another set I dont need. There should be an option to purchase the struts if you need them that way you could lower the price. I had to purchase some 1/8 inch metal to put between the back side of the bumper bracket and the bumber, My jayco has a 4" bumper and the brackets had a gap the needed to be filled. All in all Im happy with the quality and size option. (Not to big and not to small) Im using for a 4000w invertor/gen so there will be many tire down points
I purchased this to transport a modular fence set that we use at campsites. Unfortunately, this carrier isn't the best suited carrier for this task, however, I understood that going in, and it is the best carrier I could find that most closely matched most of my needs/wants. I am not basing my review rating solely on how it works for what I need it for though. Overall, the carrier itself is very nice. It is heavy duty and is very stable. In this light, it is 5 stars. But I do have a few other thoughts... 1. It's nice that it can raise or lower, however, this is the carriers weakest point. Because of this pivot point, there is slight up and down movement. 2. Despite the slight movement at the pivot point, the carrier is VERY stable! Other than this little bit of movement, it will not budge! Trying to shake the carrier actually moves the entire camper. 3. Part of this carriers stability is due to the fact that it attaches to the bumper at multiple points, rather than a single point like hitch receivers. 4. Since it attaches at multiple points, this also spreads the weight out along the bumper better than at a single point. 5. The slotted floor is both, a win/lose. The slots will not retain water and lends a hand to a lighter overall weight, however, it also makes stacking thin items like the fence I am using it for difficult to stack and requires me to use something else such as wood or rubber mats to make the surface flat and easier to use. 6. It was easy to assemble and install, despite the fact that it did not come with any sort of instructions. 7. I did not need the brackets that came with the carrier since I had already installed a set of these years ago. 8. And finally, price. This items is quite expensive, even for what it is in my opinion. I get that everything is getting more expensive now though, and this was the best option I could find for my needs. However, I do wish the brackets were a separate item and not included, and I believe this would have cut the costs of this item and saved me a bit of money. Now though I have a second set of brackets that I do not need, but I had to pay for... A nice feature about buying this carrier also is that it is easy to extend the length if so desired, although, the extensions are quite speedy too... Overall, if you need a carrier, this is a very nice option and I would definitely recommend it (especially if you haven't already reinforced your bumper with a set of these brackets). As for my rating, I knocked off 1 star due to the price, the lack of instructions, and the fact that I was forced to pay (more) for additional brackets that I didn't need and weren't a necesary part for the actual carrier.
Very nice, solid and strong rack. Pleased that it came with bumper reinforcements. Packaging could be better, though. Rack was scratched up but easily touched up with paint. Hardware bag was torn open so nuts, bolts and washers were loose in the box. Fortunately the box was intact and all the hardware was present. Better packaging for this heavy item should be accomplished.
I was pleased with the quality and engineering of this carrier. Recommend when putting it together not to tighten bolts until everything is aligned (take your time). I inserted a 3/4" peace of plywood for my generator to set on.
This is the 2nd one I bought and like the first one the plastic plugs fell out and will not stay in and the paint on these could be alot better. Its pretty sad when you pay 500 for one and it puts rust all over your bumper because the caps will not stay in and there is no paint on the inside of the square tubing. They really need to be dipped instead of being sprayed.
This product was heavier built than I expected. I am very happy with my purchase and expect it to last a long time. Assembly was extremely easy.
Good product easy to assemble.
Only problem is it sages, need shim between arm an bumper bracket.
Very nicely made product. Had a small issue with install, directions said place bumper brackets 27 in apart, but it was more like 18 in apart actually. Easy fix.
Also, I can’t stand the unit straight up, because it hits the back of the trailer. It would be helpful if there was a pin hole in the rear rack. I made my own hole and it seems fine.
Prompt delivery. Thank you. I have yet to open the box and inspect the product. Will update accordingly.
This is very easy to assemble. Took about 20 minutes total using a 13mm and a 17mm socket and wrench. Built very strong and easy to use. I assembled the basket first, than the arms to the bracket. Place the brackets on the bumper to get placement and screw the basket to the arms. Once arms are on than use bolts to secure brackets to bumper to complete the install.
Delivered early!! Received an email from Carol checking in us which was nice. Once we put it together and try it out on our next 1500 mile trek we will review again. Using it for our generator on our camper.

Perfect. Carries a 200lb generator!!! Would highly recommend
Very easy and straightforward assembly. Sturdy and made well. This is one of the best purchases I've made for my RV. Pardoned mess in the pics!
Pretty easy install, did have to slightly enlarge two of the pre-drilled holes, but no big deal. Great customer service, one of the plastic end caps were damaged, and etrailer has shipped me a new piece. Great company.
Quality heavy duty material, easy to assemble and install. Awesome product.

Solid as a rock!!!!! I transport our generator and two 5 gallon gas cans this carrier. The finish has held up and still looks new. This carrier is worth every penny.
The tab that holds the rack in the up position was broken when I received the carrier. I mounted the carrier and saw the tan missing after everything was mounted. I found the tan in the bottom of the box. The welds are poor quality and I will need to get it welded back together at my local welding shop
Item shipped fast! This rack is SOLID! Easily holds my generator and small cooler on my camper rear bumper. Instructions were easy to follow with all hardware very well packed. I love that I can fold it up when not in use. I would definitely recommend purchasing this rack.
Great product. Used it for our generator when we planned on hauling it on a trip. When stored, was easy to fold up.
As advertised. It handles our generator without issue. We will be testing it with our e-bikes soon!
I have only installed it at this point. The construction seems sound, it is easy to assemble, fits bumper perfectly, and operation of this equipment is super easy. So far, I am quite pleased with this purchase and delivery was better than Amazon.
works great and it was easy to install
It was built better than I anticipated it would be. Great instructions that were emailed to me. Went together without any issues. Perfect size, my generator and ice chest fits perfectly.
Great product. Well thought out design. Sturdy, well made. Love the folding capability. I highly recommend this product!!
