- 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,...

- 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...

- 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...

- 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.

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....
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...

- 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...

- 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... - 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.

- 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 shank of the Rola Cargo Carrier will fit into the Surco Folding Basket Adapter # 52015, however I must caution you that it is not recommended to use part # 52015 with the Rola Hitch Cargo Carrier.

view full answer... - Actual Weight Carrying Capacity of Surco # 52017 Cargo Carrier Installed in Class I Receiver
- When the weight of the shipping box is subtracted, the Surco # 52017 Cargo Carrier weighs right around 45 lbs. Since the Class I receiver on your 2009 Accord has a 200 lb tongue weight capacity, the 45 lbs would be deducted from the tongue weight capacity of the hitch. This would leave a capacity for the carrier of 155 lbs, which is still pretty respectable.
You were right on the money.

- 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.

- The replacement shanks for folding cargo carriers that we carry, such as # 52015, are designed just as replacements for specific cargo carrier models. They have not been tested on alternate models so the only way to know if any would work would be to test it.
If you know the manufacturer and model of your carrier I can determine if we have a folding replacement shank for it.

- 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...

It is possible, but not guaranteed that the adapter will fit other cargo carriers.
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...
