  • How to Secure the Yakima EXO Swing Away Cargo Carrier from Theft
  • Yes, there is a way to secure the accessories to the Yakima EXO Swing Away Cargo Carrier item # Y72VR. The Swing Away base has Yakima's Same Key System (SKS) locks built in that secures the accessories to the base. These cores are included but can also be replaced to match other Yakima products with item # Y07204. I have attach a picture below that will show you this function. I have linked a review video below that walks threw all of the functions. For a theft-deterring anti-rattle hitch...

  • Best Value Bike Rack That Allows For Rear Cargo Access In 2015 Honda CR-V
  • The Swagman XC 2-Bike Rack Platform Style part # S64650 will fit the 2015 Honda CR-V as long as you have a hitch on your vehicle. However, the Swagman XC 2-Bike rack is not a tilt-away rack so you need to remove the bikes from the rack to get into the rear cargo aera of the CR-V. Instead, I recommend Swagman XTC-2 TILT 2-Bike Platform Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches part # S64671 for the 2015 Honda CR-V because it tilts away with or without the bikes loaded for rear cargo access in the Honda....

  • What Is Needed To Be Able To Carry 2 or 3 Bikes With a Receiver Hitch For a 2021 HRV?
  • Yes, you can use the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11416 on your 2021 Honda HR-V LX, to be able to carry 2 bikes. This receiver will fit all trim levels and both the FWD and AWD drive types. As you are going to be carrying a bike rack an important measurement is the hitch pin center to bumper measurement which we find to be 5" when installed in our shop. Curt does require the use of their Cam Buckle Stabilizing Strap # 18050 when using any hitch mounted carrying accessory. You must...

  • Yakima Skybox Will Not Open on One Side
  • It is very difficult to diagnose what the issue may be without knowing a model number and seeing photos but it sounds like the latch on the locking mechanism on your RocketBox may have somehow been damaged. I would need to know the model number in order to get you any type of replacement parts but if you have a Yakima SkyBox 12 Rooftop Cargo Box # Y07334, for example, the replacement latch is the Replacement SuperLatch Handle Assemblies # Y8880348. I can't guarantee it but I would be willing...

  • Does Hitch Installation Affect Operation of Lift Gate Sensors on 2019 Honda Pilot Touring
  • A vehicle like your 2019 Honda Pilot that has lift gate sensors has several of these positioned along the rear bumper. When an aftermarket hitch like # e98840 is installed it may block the center one but the other sensors will continue to function. In practical terms this just means you may need to swing your foot over to the side to trigger one of those other sensors for the lift gate. I linked the written instructions for etrailer hitch # e98840 as well as a complete installation video.

  • Is There a Lift Kit for a 2019 Airstream Nest
  • There is absolutely a lift kit for your 2019 Airstream Nest, the Torflex Lift Kit # K71-707-01, which is going to give your Airstream a lift of 2-5/8" (a lift of 8" is not available because it would throw off the weight balance of the trailer and make it really difficult to control). Though it isn't the height you were looking for, 2-5/8" is actually a really good amount of lift for a trailer and will definitely help reduce the chance of any part of your Airstream coming into contact with...

  • Does The Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack Need an Adapter To Fit a 2" Receiver?
  • Yes, the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack # TH903202 will fit in a 2" class III receiver. The rack will come with a removable adapter if you need to use it on a vehicle with a 1-1/4" receiver. This adapter is held in place with 2 screws so you are not trying to align the adapter with any hitch pins. We do have the Extra-Long Loading Ramp # TH933402 that is 17" longer than the included ramp and works best on your taller trucks and SUV's.

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Honda Passport
  • The best hitch for your 2023 Honda Passport is going to be the Curt Hitch item # C13421. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Honda with included hardware. I really like the Curt hitch because it tucks up underneath your rear bumper cover nicely leaving only the 2" x 2" receiver visible. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 5,000 lbs towing capacity, and a 750 lbs maximum tongue weight. I have linked a couple of pictures below along with an installation video so...

  • Recommended Replacement For A Dometic Brisk II Model # B59516
  • The Dometic model B59516 is showing up as a Brisk II 15K BTU unit so the only thing you'll need to check is what style connector your current unit has. If you remove the cover for the air distribution box inside the trailer you should see the controller and a wire harness hanging down from the rooftop unit that plugs into the controller. It should have either a 6-pin or 9-pin harness (pictured below). If you have a 6-pin harness then I recommend the Furrion Chill HE Replacement RV Air...

  • Base Plates for 2007 Honda Element With Falcon Tow Bar
  • In order to use your Falcon 5250 tow bar to flat tow your 2007 Honda Element you will need specific base plates, the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # 1541-5. I am not 100 percent sure what you mean by "purchase the base plate which was sold" with your Element, but you will need the Roadmaster base plates to use your tow bar. I have added a photo a customer sent in which shows these base plates on their Honda Element so you can see how they will look when installed on your car.

  • Compatibility of Curt Trailer Hitch with Swagman XTC-2 for Electric Bike Rack for 2007 Honda Accord
  • For your application I recommend going with the Curt 2 Bike Platform Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount - Tilting # C18085 because it is compatible with a Class I hitch like the Curt Trailer Hitch # C11290 for your 2007 Honda Accord, and it has a weight capacity of 45 lbs per bike. Since the Swagman XTC-2 # S64670 that you referenced is only compatible with up to 35 lb bikes and you have a 50 lb bike then you cannot safely use this combination. When you remove the battery on your...

  • The etrailer Round Tube Receiver Hitch # e988551 referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 2018 Honda Odyssey. The hands-free Liftgate sensor on the vehicle will still operate after installation. You will just simply need to move your foot to either side of the hitch receiver to activate the sensor. This Class III hitch will provide a 2 inch receiver opening and a gross towing weight capacity of 3,500 pounds, although I also recommend checking the capacity of your vehicle as...

  • Difference Between Bearing Buddy 1980 Models
  • The model 1980 Bearing Buddy simply means that they fit a 1.980 inch hub bore. There is one difference of note between Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors # BB1980A (Chrome Plated) or # BB1980A-SS (Stainless Steel) and the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors # BB1980T-SS which is that the latter - with the "T" in the part number - means that it is threaded and fits internally threaded hubs.

  • Can a 2010 Honda Accord be Flat Towed Behind a RV
  • According to Honda, the 2010 Honda Accord cannot be flat towed with all 4 wheels on the ground. Your best option to tow your vehicle will be to use a tow dolly like the Roadmaster Tow Dolly w/ Electric Brakes, # RM-2050-1. The tow dolly will allow your Honda to ride with the front wheels off the ground which will guarantee that you will not damage the vehicle's transmission. I also recommend the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit, # RM-154, for a lighting solution. The kit...

  • Compatability of the Swagman XTC4 Bike Rack Mounted on a Travel Trailer
  • The Swagman XTC4 Cross Country 2-Bike Rack, item # S64665, is not designed to be carried behind a trailer of any kind. The ride behind a trailer is significantly rougher than the ride when attached directly to the towing vehicle. The instructions for the bike rack state that, the purchaser is advised that the load created by rack and bicycles will exceed the strength of trailer or 5th wheel bumper, mounting location or the bike rack. The rack is not under warranty if mounted in this location. We...

  • Trailer Tail Lights Not Working after Installing Tow Ready Wiring # 118491 on a 2009 Honda Pilot
  • It sounds as if there may be a blown taillight fuse or you may have one of the fuses or a relay installed in the wrong position on your 2009 Honda Pilot, after installing the # 118491 T-One connector. I would start out checking the taillight fuses in the under hood power distribution boxes on your vehicle. If no fuses are blown, go over the installation instructions and the photo I attached and make sure you installed all of the fuses and relays in the correct locations. The 20 amp charge...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2014 Honda CR-V
  • There are a number of parts you're going to need in order to flat tow your 2014 Honda CR-V, starting with compatible base plates. I recommend the Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plate Kit # RM-521567-4 due to the clean look they'll give your Honda. For a tow bar I recommend going with the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520 because of how easy the tow bar is to connect to the base plates as well as its long arms, which make it easier to maneuver when towing; you will also need safety chains # RM-643.
