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.Quality heavy duty material, easy to assemble and install. Awesome product.
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.
Very happy with the product. Plenty strong and roomy for a large generator. If this is going onto a travel trailer it very important to first instal a pair of Trailer bumper supports. Etrailer carries a brand that is almost identical as the expensive Mount-N-Lock for much better price.
Great product, easy installation. The folks at etrailer are FANTASTIC!!! They take care of your questions and needs. Only place that shop for my special needs.
Came with hardware to attach to frame to support weight, but drilling is needed for that. The easy install was just attaching the cargo carrier to the bumper with the square brackets and bolts. I did that and just don't load it up too much. Works great.
The quality of the carrier is good. The fold up pard does not work with mu camper(Grand Design Transition)because the rack is too close to the camper body when attached to the bumper. It hits the camper body and will not fold without scraping denting the body. It needs to be about 1.5 inches further away from the bumper to fold up without scraping the camper body.
I have used the 24x40 bumper carrier for about a year. I bought it mostly to haul my generator, but have also put gas cans and other items. It has worked perfectly. Stays in place (even on dirt roads), has not started sagging or deforming under the weight it carries, rack stands up to tightening ratchet straps, paint has not faded, just a good purchase for me.
This is a great product. I carry my spare tire, a 30 lb propane tank and a portable generator on it all year without any problems. Do not fold it up so can not comment on that feature
the cargo carrier was very well built and looks like it will do the job very well. the self threading bolts would not work so I replaced them with selfdrilling screws. I am pleased with the product.
Thanks
The service was amazing!!! Love the cargo carrier... it is perfect for what we were looking for. We are planning to "go off the grid" with our RV, and purchased a generator and needed a way to get it around.I will continue to shop etrailer.com!
Even though the product said it would fit my trailer it didn't. 100% total waste and now I can't sell it locally because it literally fits nothing.
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.
Decent product but it requires a lot of drilling on frame to add bumper support arms. Also, the holes for the locking pins do not line up well.
Easy to install but needed longer bolts. Had to drill new holes into crossmember. Very sturdy. Like that I can lock it down or up
The overall carrier is absolutely fantastic. It was the mounting issues on my new travel trailer I had a problem with. It took me a couple of days to modify it to fit my bumper. But overall the product is great.
This is one great rack,easy to put together and install, real solid and looks good too.This is for my new generator. You can not go wrong with this rack.GREAT service and fast shipping from e-trailer once again.Great company have used them many times over the years.THANKS GUYS KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.
Works perfect. Bought to carry a 3500 watt generator. Installed the bumper supports at the same time.
Okay, this is a great cargo bumper rack. Now I wished I bought a one a bit larger. That said it carries my generator and accessory box, etc.No problem. I would suggest that one beef up your bumper with some simple support brackets. I wielded mine on. Better than bolts. Thanks
Easy to install took it to yellow stone and back with two generators and gas with no problems
Great price and quality. Worth the wait for it to get in stock.
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!
Easy to install works great to carry ge nerator
Overall a great product it was missing the six self threading bolts had to go to town and pick some up.
Works really well for hauling my genera tor.
Used for a year now. Has held up well and I'm very happy with the purchase. I primarily use to haul a small pellet smoker at approximately 70lbs and portable propane grill around 20lbs,so I don't overload it, not because I'm concerned with the construction just don't want to stress the weld on the RV bumper.
