24x40 etrailer Cargo Carrier for RV Bumper - Steel - Folding - 500 lbs
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.
The Rack looks and functions perfectly. I had some quirks with my install though. The tube frame of my trailer was welded to the I-Beam, which made area, where the bumper supports attach, fairly thick. The "thread cutting" screws and drill bit were not made for this task, but a quick trip to the hardware store to grab an M8x1.25 tap, and I was back in business. There is also a little extra play between the bracket and bumber, but I had some 1/8" sheet rubber which I cut to pad the top and back of the bracket to snug it up.

24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier for RV Bumper - Steel - Folding - 500 lbs
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.
The 24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier for RV Bumper-Steel- Folding - 500 lbs Item the carrier is now over 1 year old and a great addition to our travel trailer. I did install a pair of bumper supports as it is only attached to the bumper, which is only welded to the trailer frame, if the weld breaks you can lose it while driving down the road. The other thing I did was add a pair of trailer directional lights on the cargo carrier. First it does extend out 2 feet from the back of the trailer and if you put something tall in the carrier it can cover one of the directional/brakes lights on the back of the trailer. Those two additions definitely give you peace of mind in not causing a roadway accident.
