- Selecting Replacement Exterior RV Ladder for Motor Home
- You can measure your existing ladder's overall length from its lower mounting bracket to its horizontal top bar as shown in the linked photo. We offer three different lengths of exterior RV ladder; all can be seen on the link provided. Each one is a universal-fit type which means that the location of its mounting hardware on your RV may differ from that of your original ladder.
view full answer... - Is There A Motorcycle Carrier That Will Fit A 1-1/4 Inch Trailer Hitch?
- Since you have a small trail bike that only weighs 112 lbs, you will be able to use a cargo carrier with your hitch and stay within the tongue weight capacity rating of a Class I trailer hitch for a 2014 Kia Soul. This is my recommendation because there is not a motorcyle carrier for Class I trailer hitches due to their tongue capacity rating.
I have a similar trail bike to your Coleman ct200u and suggest using the 20x48 Surco Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" Hitches - Steel - 300 lbs, # 52017....

- We do have an external RV ladder that comes in black. For that you would want the part # LA-401BA which is 99-1/2 inches tall and 13 inches wide.
The legs of the ladder can be trimmed for length with a hacksaw or tube cutter. When you are installing mounting brackets and support pegs, make certain that all screws are fastened to the RV's blocking or subframe on roof. If you are uncertain if your RV has backing installed, you should contact your RV manufacture to confirm. It is unsafe...

- We offer three choices in an exterior roof ladder for your Jayco trailer. These can be seen by clicking on the link provided. We offer both straight and contoured ladders to fit both types of trailer exterior and three choices in ladder height, 84-1/2-, 97- and 99-1/2-inches tall. All feature rust-proof aluminum construction.
The key for mounting a ladder is to ensure you have structural material behind the trailer's outer skin that is strong enough to support the load from the ladder....

- The Curt Cargo Carrier, # C18153, and the Surco Cargo Carrier, # 52018F, are both folding cargo carriers with 24 inch x 60 inch steel mesh platforms and raised side rails. They also have the same weight capacity and dimensions.
The main differences between these cargo carriers is bumper clearance. When folded, the Surco carrier measures 5 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the carrier. The Curt carrier measures 9 inches. Curt and Surco both produce quality...

- I do have an option that will allow you to carry a cargo carrier and tow your 2,500 lb boat, however, a ball mount cannot attach to the end of a cargo carrier to tow a trailer. Instead, check out the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount, # D210. This ball mount will allow you to tow your trailer with the lower ball mount and carry your cargo carrier using the receiver.
The towing capacity of this ball mount is 7,500 lbs and the tongue weight capacity is 750 lbs. The receiver weight capacity...

- The Surco Safari Rack you mentioned, part # SPS5084-T400 requires crossbars as a connection point, it will not attach directly to the tracks. The basket is compatible with Thule crossbars.
The # SPS5084-T400 you referenced is 84 inches, or 7 feet long. Surco also offers a 5 foot long model, part # SPS5060-T400.
The Extended Thule Canyon XT, part # TH859XT-8591XT is about 5-3/4 feet long, but at 40 inches wide it is not as wide as the Surco models mentioned above. It is also compatible...
view full answer... - Ladder Bike Rack Comparison: Swagman Bike Rack # S80630 vs. Surco Bike Rack # SP501BR
- The Swagman RV and Motorhome 2 Bike Carrier, part # S80630, and the Topline 2 Bike Carrier RV Ladder Mounted Bike Rack, part # SP501BR, are very similar and share many great features.
I would be more inclined to purchase the # S80630 because it has reflectors on the ends of each of the arms, it has more padding on the rack to protect the ladder, and I prefer the style of strap that is used over the # SP501BR.
You may also be interested in purchasing a 10 foot Long Cable Lock, part...

- For your over cab bed, we have the Surco RV Bunk Ladder - 1" Wide Hooks - 60" Long # SP501B or the Stromberg Carlson RV Bunk Ladder - Aluminum - 60" Tall # LA-460. These are also available in 66 inches long # SP504B and # LA-466.
I don't know if the wood on your cabinets will allow you more space, you will need to check your owners manual or check with the manufacturer.
view full answer... - USA Made Hitch Cargo Carrier Recommendation
- The Surco Cargo Carriers like the part # 52018 are made in the USA. For a folding version of this carrier you would want the part # 52018F.
Both carriers will need to be bolted together.
I attached review videos for both carriers for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Availability of Roof-Mount Cargo Basket That Does Not Require Roof Crossbars
- You are correct that most rooftop cargo baskets, including the Yakima LoadWarrior # Y07070 that you referenced, do require that the host vehicle have either factory or aftermarket roof rack crossbars. However, there are specialty baskets offered by Surco that can mount to a vehicle without crossbars as long as it has raised side rails. All of these baskets feature lightweight aluminum construction and a weight capacity that is limited to that of the host vehicle's roof. All are USA-made.

view full answer... - Towing a Boat Trailer and Using a Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier at the Same Time
- Your best option would be to use the Curt multipurpose ball mount # D210. You would use the ball mount part to tow and the receiver part for a cargo carrier. This will work provided that the combined weight of the trailer tongue weight, cargo carrier, and cargo on the carrier does not exceed 750 pounds.
For a carrier I recommend something that has a rise in the shank and that is light weight such as the Curt carrier # C18110. It weighs about 30 pounds and has a slight rise in the shank...

- I do have a ladder bike rack that will fit the ladder on your truck camper. Checkout the Swagman RV and Motorhome 2 Bike Carrier, part # S80630. The Swagman 2 Bike Carrier has a width of 9-1/4 inches and should work on your truck camper ladder.
I have attached instructions and a picture showing the dimensions of the Swagman RV and Motorhome 2 Bike Carrier, part # S80630.

- Actually, there's very little difference between the two. Both have the same dimensions as well as the same 500 lb capacity (limited by the capacity of your hitch, of course).
The Curt # C18153 has the advantage of being seriously less expensive, plus the shank is a bit longer, offering more clearance between the vehicle and the basket when it's folded up (9 inches for the Curt versus 5 inches for the Surco. The Surco has a purpose-built taillight kit, part # 52014 while for the Curt,...
view full answer... - RV Ladder Bike Rack Recommendation for a Lance Model 1885 with 2 inch Ladder Supports
- I have a ladder rack bike rack solution for you, but the Surco 2 Bike Carrier # SP501BR that you referenced would not work for you since it is designed to work on ladders with 1 inch diameter supports and you have 2 inch diameter supports. There isn't an adapter available either.
Instead you would want the Swagman RV Ladder Bike Rack part # S80630. This rack will hook on the rungs of your ladder and will provide you with a 2 bike rack.
view full answer... - Weight Capacity and Mounting Configuration of Surco Ladder Mount 2 Bike Rack Part # SP501BR
- The Surco RV Ladder Mounted Bike Rack you referenced attaches to the uprights of the ladder, not the rungs. As long as your uprights have a round profile, the ladder bike rack will fit regardless of the profile of the rungs. I have edited a photo for you that shows this. As long as the ladder is not right at the edge of the 5th wheel, the fact that the ladder is on the drivers side should present no problem.
The rack itself has a weight capacity of 75 lbs, which might work for you if...

- We do offer a range of bike carriers that are suitable for use on the back of a trailer and all can be seen on the provided link. We offer RV-approved racks for camper roof or hitch mounting, and also for attachment to a ladder, ball mount or to the bumper on a camper. None of these racks is designed to attach to a spare tire carrier however. The linked article will explain further.
An accessory such as a bike carrier that is to be used on the back of a trailer or motor home must be...
view full answer... - Bunk Ladder for Jayco Redhawk
- We do have bunk ladders available, though not from Jayco. Instead, I recommend checking out the Surco RV Bunk Ladder # SP503B, which is 60" long or # SP504B which is 66" long. These ladders have 1-1/2" hooks on them; if you need a hook that is not quite as wide to attach to the bunk Surco has ladders with 1" wide hooks and are also either 60" long for part # SP501B or 66" long # SP502B.
view full answer... - How Can Rattling and Wobbling Be Stopped on Surco 24x60 Cargo Carrier
- It would not be wise to modify the car with extra attachment points to the vehicle for stability or to add tie-down poles for the cargo. Altering or adding to the structure can weaken the carrier not to mention void any applicable manufacturer warranty.
We carry parts to remedy the wobbling problem like part # RM-061. Anti-rattle devices put some tension between the accessory and the hitch, just enough to reduce rattling and wobbling.
Using a tie-down post for something like a dirt...

- I do have exterior ladder options for your toy hauler but none of them collapse. I have attached these options for you. I recommend the Surco Universal Exterior RV Ladder part # SP502L. This ladder measures 84-1/2" long but if you need additional length, you can use part # SP504L for +30-1/2" or part # SP503L for +48-1/2". It is constructed of a heavy-gauge aluminum and assembled right here in the U.S.A.
view full answer... - Recommended Bike Rack for Carrying Adult Trike Behind RV
- We do have a couple options for standard hitch-mounted bike racks that are specifically designed for adult trikes, such as the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider # HR1000R-TRKADP. The issue though, is that only certain bike racks are rated for use behind RVs and trailers, and the available trike racks are not rated for this application. This is simply because of the extra movement that occurs on a bike rack that is mounted to the rear of a trailer or RV, as opposed to behind a standard passenger...

- The 24x60 Cargo Carrier for 2 inch Trailer Hitch, item # 52018, is one of our best selling cargo carriers. It is very sturdy and made in the United States. We receive very few phone calls regarding this product. Also, the 24x60 Cargo Carrier has the option to use the Folding Basket Adapter, item # 52015.

- We have several Folding carriers designed to fit in a 2 inch hitch, see link. The problem you are experiencing with cargo carriers wobbling in the upright position is inherent to the folding style of carrier and I have not seen one yet that fully addresses this issue. The Surco Products Hitch Cargo Carrier, item # 52018F, that you mentioned probably has the best hinge construction of all of the folding carriers that we carry at this time.
The folding aspect also requires that the carrier...

If you need to replace the top portion of your original complete ladder assembly you'll need to know the manufacturer. It is possible that just the top portion is offered directly by the maker but this may not...
view full answer... - Is there a Bike Rack Available that Will Not Block the License Plate
- That really depends on where the license plate is located. Since you were looking at the Surco bike rack, # SP501BR, I assume you have a van or RV that has a ladder with the license plate in close proximity.
What I recommend is to use the bike rack you want to use (trailers and RVs can only be equipped with certain racks, see link) and relocate the license plate to an area of the vehicle, trailer, or RV that is more visible.
For a license plate bracket, if you need one that has...

- The 20x48 Cargo Carrier, item # 52017, weighs 40 pounds. Yes you must factor in the weight of the cargo carrier and cargo and any items loaded behind the rear axle of the car. You also need to check your vehicle maximum tongue weight rating and use the lowest maximum rating of the vehicle, hitch or cargo carrier as the weight that can be carried in the receiver hitch.
If you have a 200 pound max tongue weight rating and no items loaded in the vehicle behind the rear axle then you could...

- I was able to find a picture of your Toy Hauler and see the ladder that is on it from the factory. We have ladders that would work but they would not be an exact replacement. The part # LA-401 looks to be the closest one we carry to what is on your trailer but it would not perfectly match with what you have.
I attached a review video for you to check out for this ladder as well.

- Yes, there is a hitch adapter extension, the Folding Basket Adapter for 2 inch Trailer Mounted Cargo Carriers, part # 52015, which will allow you to convert the regular Cargo Carrier, part # 52018 to a folding Cargo Carrier.
Essentially the item you selected, Folding Cargo Carrier, part # 52018F is just part # 52018 and part # 52015 sold together.
It can fold up by pulling the pin out of the extension and raising the cargo platform until the pin hole is lined up and pinned back in.

- The first thing you will want to do is check your owner's manual or with your dealer and find out what the tongue weight capacity is for your 2010 Smart fortwo. Many time carriers have a weight rating much higher than the vehicle capacity and you do not want to exceed the lower of the ratings.
There are several differences between the Surco Cargo Carrier, part # 52017, and the Curt Cargo Carrier, part # C18145. An important thing to note would be the weight of the carrier alone. The...
