I do have a solution for you, but the 24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier #e98874 is not designed to be used on the back of an RV. Generally speaking, folding carriers are not ideal because they do not stand up too well to the extra stress exerted by the…
Hey Ryan. The lack of trimming on the B&W Trailer Hitch item #BW82PR compared to the etrailer item #e45ZR does come with a bit of a trade off. The receiver for the B&W item #BW82PR sits lower when installed on your 2025 Kia Telluride…

The Curt hitch extender part #C45048 has a slight upward bend to it because when it fits into a hitch there ends up being a slight downward angle it needs to compensate for. This is because there is a slight loose fit between the hitch and the…
Hello Michael, thanks for reaching out. The Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapters #RM23SR and #RM-077-10 both have 10" between both receivers and they are both rated or 10,000 lbs. The only noteworthy difference is the placement of the…

Hey Rick, the opening of the Power Watchdog part #HU62VR is definitely wide enough for a Camco Power Grip power cable to fit as the Camco connectors are standard size and you can see in attached picture there's more than enough room.

Hitch cargo carriers are the perfect solution for those who need extra storage space for their adventures. Whether you're heading to the beach, the mountains, or just need more room for a road trip, these carriers offer a secure and convenient way to transport your gear. Consider factors like size, weight capacity, and security features when choosing the right one for your needs.
Most hitch cargo carriers are designed for easy assembly and installation, often taking just a few minutes to set up. They typically slide into a standard 2-inch receiver hitch, making them a convenient option for quick trips. Some models even feature a fold-up design for added clearance and storage when not in use.
Security is crucial when using a hitch cargo carrier. Many carriers come with locking mechanisms, but it's wise to add additional locks for peace of mind. Consider using long shackle locks to secure both the carrier and its contents, especially if you're carrying valuable items like generators or bicycles.
Look for features like foldable designs for easy storage, high weight capacity for heavy loads, and durable materials that can withstand rough conditions. Some carriers also offer walls or mesh sides to help secure your cargo and prevent it from shifting during transit.
A hitch cargo carrier can reduce wind noise and drag compared to roof-mounted options, making it a quieter and more fuel-efficient choice. It's also easier to load and unload, saving you time and effort. Just ensure your vehicle's hitch can support the carrier's weight and the additional cargo.
While some hitch cargo carriers can carry bicycles, it's important to check the dimensions and design. Road bikes with smaller frames may fit, but larger mountain bikes might be a tight squeeze. Consider a dedicated bike rack if you frequently transport bicycles.
