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…

Exhaust melting cargo on a cargo carrier isn't a super common problem, but we are aware that it does happen on occasion. Especially if the cargo carrier is at the same height as the exhaust, relatively close to it, and/or the material in the…

Pack beach gear, snow tires, or a generator without losing interior room using a hitch cargo carrier. Adapters that step 1-1/4" up to 2" cut tongue weight in half, so choose a carrier that fits your hitch to keep capacity. For added confidence, consider enclosed options with covers, add a light kit or reflective tape for visibility, an anti-rattle collar to reduce movement, and locking setups to secure your load.
Skip the adapter when you can. Using an adapter to go from 1-1/4" to 2" cuts your tongue weight in half, which takes away capacity you may want for a carrier. Pick a carrier designed for a 1-1/4" hitch instead. Check your hitch's tongue rating and add up the carrier plus cargo weight before you load up for the beach.
Add a tail light kit if your vehicle needs it or if the carrier blocks your lights. If the carrier isn't clearly marked, apply retroreflective tape to the back and edges to help it stand out. If you have a 4-way flat, you can use the running light circuit to power a license plate light.
Use an anti-rattle hitch device to help tighten the connection at the receiver. Verify your hitch pin size so a locking pin fits; some carriers use a smaller pin. Secure your load with straps or a cargo net to limit movement. If scraping is a concern and your carrier has multiple pin positions, adjust it before steep approaches and re-pin before driving at speed.
Confirm your hitch or bumper is reinforced and rated for the total weight of the carrier plus cargo. Keep within the listed tongue rating and the carrier's capacity. For security, look for an integrated locking mechanism or add a locking hitch pin. Long trips are smoother when the load is locked down and balanced over the hitch.
