Simplify your road trip with the etrailer cargo bag. This spacious, water-resistant bag keeps all your gear safe and dry, and the full-length zipper makes it easy to load - just toss in your items, zip it up, and go! Durable for years of adventures.

Note: You may need a light kit for your cargo carrier if the cargo bag blocks your vehicle's tail lights.
This extra-large, water-resistant cargo bag lets you transport up to 20 cu ft of gear on your hitch-mounted cargo carrier. It's made of PVC-coated nylon to keep your gear clean and dry. It allows you to carry luggage, skis, sports equipment, tents, sleeping bags, and anything else that will fit inside. The soft bottom of the bag conforms to your cargo carrier for a secure fit. You can also use this bag in your truck bed, in your trunk or rear cargo area, or on your roof-mounted cargo carrier.
This cargo bag is constructed of heavy-duty, PVC-coated nylon, so it's hard to cut or tear. If it does acquire a hole or tear, the ripstop material is designed to prevent the hole or tear from expanding. The bag is also water resistant so your cargo stays dry in rain and snow. And for added weather protection, the seams are fused together to create a watertight seal.
A large, double-zippered opening on top of the bag makes it easy to load and unload your cargo. The zippers wrap around 3 sides so you can fully open the top. There is a flap with hook-and-loop fasteners that provides extra moisture protection for your cargo and helps protect the zipper from rust and corrosion. You can add a small padlock (131D - sold separately) to the zippers to secure the bag shut.
Six nylon tie-down straps secure the bag to your hitch-mounted carrier or roof basket. Each strap attaches to one of the 6 integrated, reinforced buckle attachments on the bag. Simply feed the short end of the strap into the buckle attachment on the bag and loop the long end around the rail of your carrier. Pull it tight and tie the excess out of the way.
If your cargo carrier has built-in tie-down points, you may be able to hook the included oval steel rings through them to secure the bag as well.
You can fold this bag up for compact storage when it isn't being used.

Tons of room and looks great!This bag is awesome! Plenty of room to store suitcases for a family of four plus a couple of large boxes. The tie-down straps kept the bag well secured. I haven't been through any major rainshowers yet with the bag, but the light rain and snow flurries we have encountered rolled right off and everything stayed dry inside. The zippers can be a lillte bit of a challenge when getting them around the corners, but other than that the bag will zip up with relative ease.
Looking forward to trying the bag out
I ordered the bag and Hitch Basket together in one order for a trip in July. I will follow up with a review after the trip. I can say that it was super easy to put together and the quality is evident as soon as you open the box. Super quick shipping also, ordered it Friday, got it Monday.
My only question is on the back of my 2013 Durango with dual exhaust is it going to get hot enough to damage the bag when i'm going down the highway at 80mph? I did a test run without the bag and it didnt seem like the basket got hot, a little warm. Any one that has driven any distance that can let me know would be a huge relief for me.

All products received as promised. Right on schedule. The cargo bag is awesome. Very heavy duty and big!!
My wife and I both have trouble walking and we travel in a Class B+ RV.. not much storage room for 2 walkers so I thought the cargo carrier and the cargo bag would provide us the ability to bring them along. There is more than enough room...
Made up an interior frame with 3/4 inch PVC so the bag wouldn't look like a crunched up trash bag .... Also shows the etrailer name. Good advertising. Lol
I haven’t tried the bag yet. Hopefully it turns great; I will update the review.
Great bag! Perfectly fits my cargo tray. It’s sturdy and really does keep the contents dry. I know this because during my first camping trip with this bag, I was stuck in my tent for two days during a monsoon. Everything was soaked, but this bag stayed dry inside. If I have one complaint (and it’s a small one) it’s the tabs on the zipper pulls. They are quite thin and bend easily. I’d like to see a more heavy duty tabs on the zippers.
Great product. I'm very glad I got this for our 12-day 3,150 mile vacation trip! We packed it full with everything but the kitchen sink, and had room to spare! Fit nicely on the luggage hitch rack and went well on our 2013 Durango.
I especially enjoyed that we could (with some precaution not to overstuff the bag) still open the back lift gate with the bag packed and in place. That was very nice.
This product worked perfectly. We were able to pack 2 large suit cases, 3 smaller suit cases and a duffel bag in this cargo bag, and traveled 1700 miles round trip without any issues. we traveled through a couple of large rain storms and did not have one drop of water anywhere inside the bag.
This fit my needs perfectly, it seem to be watertight (but have only tested with a hose) its big and sturdy.
Plan on taking a 1400 mile trip and butting this cargo bag to good use.

This was a great purchase, It held all of our equipment and kept it dry during my trips. Its just a little wide for my custom carrier I built, but tied down and traveled just fine.I have a down hitch so I can still open my back door and the lights and license plate are not covered up.
This product lived up to my expectations. Fit perfectly into the hitch basket I purchased. Strapped down easily and kept everything dry. Great product. It was exactly what I was hoping for.

Product is still working beautifully. I have actually lent it to a few friends along with the hitch basket. They loved it so much, they are buying their own. The soft-shell nature of the cargo bag allows it to be very versatile and holds a tremendous amount of luggage. Being waterproof is icing on the cake. Great product!
I owned a similar product for my hitch haul but it was made out of canvas and did not repel water very well. Just used this bag on our latest family camping trip. Managed to fit all of our gear inside of it and leave plenty of room for my dog in the back of the SUV.
The bag loads nice and rides well on the back of the hitch haul. There was no need for any additional tiedowns as a straps provided were sufficient to hold the bag during travel. This is an outstanding product don't think of buying anything else!
Excellent bag, especially fur the price. Has kept our camping gear and luggage dry on multiple trips. We have used it both on a rear hitch cargo carrier and on our trailer. Would definitely recommend it.
I bought this cargo bag based on its dimensions. I was looking for one that would utilize the full size of my carrier, and this one does that. The zippers are quality, and the flaps covering them seal well. The straps are convenient and hold well. It is made of heavy vinyl.
The pictures shows it overstuffed. I put it on the carrier and inflated it with an air hose to see how big it is. I had plenty of time to take a picture before it started sagging from deflating. I think that says a lot for how well the zippers seal.
This has been such a great purchase for our family. A year and a half ago we moved from a mini van to an SUV. The hitch carrier and bag are the only way it works with all the kids and gear for trips. A must have for families who like to travel but need more space.
We have been so glad to have the cargo bag. It carries a lot of camping gears and other items. We just threw everything in it after install it to a hitch carrier for a 7000 miles road trip last year and a 5000 miles road trip this year. In general, it is waterproof. There was only very little water that got through zipper line after a long day driving during very heavy down pour rain.
I got this cargo bag for a big camp over trip with our dogs. Usually we are all cramped in the car.I got so much gear loaded in there that the dogs road in style with plenty of room inside the car. Though I did not anticipate rain, it came down on us. The cargo bag kept our gear completely dry. It fit securely on the carrier with the straps. I only have a picture of the bag when it was half stuffed. When it was packed for the trip it came up to about half way covering the spare wheel. If you are on the fence about buying it, I'd do it again. It's thick and sturdy material.
Great quality, fits perfect and is very rugged. Extremely pleased with this product.
Order this bag for the back of my Jayco Motorhome. Delivery was quick! Bag is of good quality and easy to put on the rack. Needed it to get stuff out of the RV.

Working great, no leaks at all. We went through some heavy rain and contents are dry as a bone!
Cargo bag works exactly as anticipated! I can fit my entire boat(deflated and disassembled) inside this bag and transport on the cargo deck that is part of my 5th Wheel trailer.

Almost 4 years later and it still works great! I average 10 trips per year.
High quality material
Exceeded expectations
Fast shipping
Excellent customer service
I go to a hunting lease year round just to enjoy the outdoors. When it isn't dusty, it's raining. I have been using waterproof river bags to keep my gear clean and dry but they are not large enough and I need several.
The dimensions for this etrailer bag sounded like it would be OK. It was better than OK, it was perfect!
The pictures show it in the back of my GMC Sierra. It is a crew cab short bed (5 /12') with a tool box. The cargo bag spans the width of the truck bed and is large enough for everything I need. I actually had trouble finding enough large items to put in it for the pictures.
Now I can load the truck several days ahead and not worry about storing the stuff in my living room (my wife is ecstatic). All I have to add is my dog and ice chest and I'm ready to go. (Before you report me for animal abuse for stuffing her in the bag, my dog has the entire back seat of the truck to herself).
The material of this bag is very heavy duty which should help to avoid punctures and leaks. The zipper is solid and works well. Because of its size and thickness of the material, it may need to be coaxed around the corners but just opening the front alone gives adequate access to the interior for loading.
It comes with straps and rings to secure it to a hitch tray and instructions on their use. When empty, it collapses so it can be stored out of the way unlike the large plastic bins.
If anything ever happens to this bag, I'll be right back buying another.

After several months of use, I want to reiterate my 5 Star rating. This bag has kept my gear dry and free from dust over many trips. Dust is my main concern but it has endured some pretty long hard thunderstorms without a leak be sure the flaps are closed over the zipper. It is a pleasure to put it in the back of the truck and then toss stuff in it without concern that it will blow out or be open to prying eyes. It is very heavy duty and does get stiff during the cold. That can make zipping it up difficult. I put it in the house until Im ready to load the truck. It stays pliable for loading. The zipper is solid but resist the temptation to force it. Just hold the fabric in place and it zips nicely. Patience is key when it is cold.
This should work out well with the Stromberg Carlson CC-100 Cargo Carrier I now have for my Travel Trailer.
Very heavy duty material with a robust 2 way zipper and flat to cover the zipper.

Hi Tory, it looks like your all packed and ready to hit the road! Do you have any fun adventures planned?
Top quality. Extremely durable. Purchased this one to replace my six year old one. The cargo bag lives at the front of my roof top rack, that I designed and built, for my E350 van.

Wow! I'm so happy this made such a great impression, you came back for another one. Looks like you know how to have an adventure, Alan! Any fun upcoming trips planned?
Worked perfect . Holds way more than expected. We fit a fold up wagon, canopy tent, two outdoor sports fold up chairs in the bottom and still was able to add 3 smaller suitcases and several soft gym bags! And probably could had fit more. It was nice having the buckle part made on the bad for straps to secure to.
Do you have a question about this Hitch Cargo Carrier Bag?

Both products have worked perfectly for my needs. The cargo rack is a great addition to my Sequoia. It allows me to accomidate 6 people in the veichical and carry all of our luggage for a 7 day trip. The cargo bag is easy to access and both water and dust proof. On a trip to Texas we encountered a lot of rain and not a got inside . I couldnt be more pleased with both.
