Carry generators, coolers, and other bulky gear behind your RV with this bumper-mounted cargo carrier. You don't need a hitch to install it, you can expand it to carry more gear, and you can fold up if you need a little extra space for parking.

Notes:
No matter how big your RV is you'll likely have gear you'd prefer not to store inside. This carrier lets you transport generators and fuel cans, so your storage compartments don't smell like gas. You can also strap coolers, luggage, and other bulky objects on it to free up space inside your RV. Lastly, it's great for carrying wet, dirty, or smelly items outside of the RV, keeping your interior clean and odor free. It has raised side rails that help prevent your gear from sliding off and provide multiple anchor points for a cargo net, bungee straps, or other tie-downs (sold separately).
Most RVs don't have hitches installed, so if you want to use a cargo carrier, you'd have to install a hitch receiver. However, this cargo carrier mounts on your RV's bumper, so you don't need a hitch to carry your gear. It's also designed to provide better load distribution across your bumper than a hitch-mounted carrier.
When the carrier is not being used, you can fold it up against the back of your RV. This is convenient if you need a little extra space at the campsite, if you're travelling but not carrying any gear at the time, or if you're parking close to a fence, a shed, or a garage. To fold the basket up, just remove the snapper pin from each arm assembly, fold the rack up toward your vehicle, then reinsert the pins through the holes in the top of the mounting brackets.
The carrier is easy to install. Just slide the mounting brackets over your RV's bumper, spacing them 17-5/8" apart (inside edge to inside edge), and secure them with the included M10 hex bolts. Attach the main arm assemblies to the mounting brackets with the included M16 hex bolts. Attach the basket to the main arm assemblies with the included M8 carriage bolts. The included support brackets mount to most RV frames to reinforce your bumper and prevent metal fatigue that can cause your bumper to detach.
If you outgrow the carrier later on, you can add an extension to increase its width. A 24" extension will make the carrier 84" wide. To install the extension, place the mounting brackets an additional 24" apart on the bumper, unbolt the junction between the left and right side of the basket, and bolt the extension between them.

Bolted through both sides of the frame. It was easier for me and seemed to me stronger. The cargo carrier was a breeze and fits nice. Took my time to work on aligning for carrier & spare tire for even weight distribution. It’s going to get more use for off the grid camping.
Looks well-built easy install had a tough time with the bumper supports my trailer had welded brackets in the way but made it work. Overall, would highly recommend this product. Great customer service had some missing parts Lauren sent them to me very quickly. Thank you, Lauren!!!
The 24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier for RV Bumper-Steel- Folding - 500 lbs Item the carrier is now over 1 year old and a great addition to our travel trailer. I did install a pair of bumper supports as it is only attached to the bumper, which is only welded to the trailer frame, if the weld breaks you can lose it while driving down the road. The other thing I did was add a pair of trailer directional lights on the cargo carrier. First it does extend out 2 feet from the back of the trailer and if you put something tall in the carrier it can cover one of the directional/brakes lights on the back of the trailer. Those two additions definitely give you peace of mind in not causing a roadway accident.
Quick delivery, very well built. Will serve my purpose beautifully. I ran my bolts right through the support pieces then through the rectangular tubing support arm. I felt it might be a bit stronger. Piece of mind maybe. I also added bolts through the rectangular tubing up through the lip of the I beam which it is welded to. I am confident that there will be no movement back there. The tank weighs 150 lbs. And nothing bumper ir frame related should crack or break.
So the rack is definitely stout! Almost to stout for a front mount! It’s HEAVY when fully assembled! Would have liked it to be a top mount on the bumper so it’s not such a lean on the bumper! The additional bumper brackets are definitely a plus! But it came with 20 bolts and nuts for a universal fit but no self tapping screws for my rectangular bumper frame! Will re view after next trip in September! Going deep into white horse and our ranch which is pretty messed up after the last storms in AZ! Only reason for the 3 star is because the bonus bumper brackets do me no good without the right hardware!If it holds up will update to five star! Will post additional pics after trip!

So far so good! Paints holding up! Racks holding up! After a year of use would definitely buy again or recommend! Directions on support brackets are horrible! Had to buy all new hardwood to make support brackets actually work and work well! Extra $4!
Our experience with etrailer has been first class from start to finish. The product itself was easy to assemble, well thought out and very strong. We are extremely happy with it. We have a short driveway and as you can see the rack folds right out of the way.

I carry my generator, spare tire and firewood on it every time that I go camping.
The product exceeds my expectations. It is rugged, looks nice, and easy to install. The service from eTrailer was not great. I was told three different dates for shipping and arriving, had to cancel one order in order to pay for expedited shipping, and then what I paid for took longer than the original order would have taken. Customer service reps were nice, but were not knowledgeable... very vague about the shipping process. As a customer, it was very frustrating. I should have been refunded the expedited shipping cost as they did not hold up their end of it. Order with a lot of extra time as products will not arrive when they say they will.

The etrailer RV Cargo Carrier is outstanding! It is exactly what we were looking for and it has held up extremely well. We purchased the extra supports for it and there is no sagging at all.
I received this in 3 days via UPS. The finish is good where it hasn't been worn off in shipping. Something should be done to protect it better. All hardware was included and bolt holes aligned well. All 4 of the plastic frame plugs were broken also. Must have been dropped several times at least. One tang of the 2 part shelf was bent and needed to be bent back 1/8 inch so the square attachment inserts would align. It came with a bumper reinforcing kit but it's not clear whether I need it or not, it's not mentioned in the main instructions but comes with it's own. Upon going online I guess(?) I need it so il. Have to take the rack off again, drill my frame and mount these brackets and put the rack back on. Needs a reference to it in the main instructions to prevent having to do this twice. One small paragraph would save a lot of confusion and rework.

It does sound like the package went through a rough trip. I do know that you do need the bumper reinforcing kit and I will pass along the feedback regarding the instructions.
I have a class C jayco. With the factory mounted bumper and the towing hitch all mounted to the chassis frame, there is no way to utilize the included extra support brackets. Because of that, I am not satisfied that the rack simply mounted to the 4” bumper without the extra support brackets is sturdy enough and I would never load the rack anywhere near your rated weight limit. If I did, I suspect I would find the rack, it’s contents, along with my bumper laying in the highway. In order to load the rack with anything significant, I will have to come up with some support design, and fabricate it myself. I like the rack itself and it’s design, but just not ideal mounting for my rig.
Nice looking product, complete kit for easy assembly. The only thing that took the longest was drilling for bumper brackets
Perfect fit for my application. Very heavy guage steel, making it very strong but not super heavy. With the folding feature, makes it a breeze to lock in the upright position when not needed. With the square tubing design, virtually endless ways to secure cargo with straps and tie downs.
Only problem I had was the 3-bolts connecting the 2 trays together… they were about a 1/2 inch off (even with the rest of the bolts not tightened) of lining up with each other. I utilized the drill bits included in the kit, worked great! Wish I would’ve took pictures, but I was racing the sun and fighting mosquitos…
I have not installed this yet, but I have taken it out of the box to check the quality. Seems very well made and the installation instructions seem easy to follow. The shipping speed was crazy fast it was on my door step less than 48 hours after ordering. Great work etrailer.com, customer for life. Thank you
This cargo rack works great. Been using it for a year as full time rver. Pay attention to the welds on your rv's bumper. They can be of poor quality.

The rack is still working great for us. I did have to grind out and re-weld the rv bumper. They were not very good welds to start with and developed cracks.
Set was a breeze with the exception of putting the braces on the frame which support the bumper. The Self threading bolts provided would not thread into the holes I drilled.
Very impressive. I was surprised to find it built so sturdy. The bumper braces were easy to install. A good investment for me. Thanks
This is the perfect size for my 25' trailer. I do not load it down with really heavy stuff, but I do put the extra blackwater tank on it. At the sites I go to, it is great to have an extra outdoor shelf. The ability to fold it up when not in use is also a benefit at the house, where I can back the trailer just a bit further down the driveway. Installation was easy for me as my bumper did not require drilling or extenders.

Excellent. We have gone cross-country 2x and it has been with us the whole way. Cannot complain!
I throughly enjoy this carrier. We placed 4 brackets to increase stability. Doesn’t move a fraction of an inch! I have 2 e-bikes riding on this carrier. I don’t have any weakened welds. It’s mounted on a Big Horn Traveler 32RS. Great Product.
The carrier is solid and well made. It is a nice addition to my Highland Light travel trailer. I installed the support brackets into the 8 inch I-beam. If you want to save a lot of time and effort, I recommend getting a couple of 9mm drill bits made for hard metal, the supplied drill bit was inferior and good for only one hole. Other than that minor inconvenience, it was a straight forward install and it's a solid piece of equipment. I also attached my spare to the underside as shown.
This was the easiest assembly and installation i have ever done! 30 minutes from unbox to taking pics. Love the product, well built and looks great too. Cant wait to use it on our next trip.
Thank you for a GREAT product.

Just the way we hoped it would, easy to take up and down, well built and no issues. Would buy again if I needed one! Thank for a GREAT product
Quality carrier and great service. Out TT was totaled in a wreck and the carrier survived intact. Unfortunately, I couldn’t retrieve the bumper mounting brackets and had difficulty finding them separately. Finally contacted Dan in Etrailer’s customer service and had them in two days. Thanks you etrailer and especially Dan.
The frame brackets for the trailer needed to be spread apart further to fit around the 4" bumper. This was done at a fabrication shop by a friend. The assembly of carrier was easy enough and the carrier is very sturdy, and it holds a generator for me. I would recommend this carrier and have to a person who asked me about it. A 4 star because of bracket expansion work
Easy to install. I was unsure about the way it clamps on to the bumper of my 5th wheel trailer, so I went the extra mile and installed a support arm that fits into the 3" trailer hitch receiver under the bumper. Usually used for a pickup truck to carry long lumber that extends away from the truck bed. With the bouncy ride found on most U.S roads, I wanted to make sure the generator strapped to the cargo carrier would not fly off along with my trailer bumper and everything else. Drove from west coast to Georgia and back with no problems.
Extremely disappointed. Received product quickly, but cannot attach brackets to my trailer bumper. I was afraid this would be the case, but hoped there was some kind of assistance on the ordering system. I must return it for refund

I am so sorry that this didnt work for you. I see that our customer service department has issued a return label for you, please let me know if you are needing any other assistance.
I added this today to my newly reinforced bumper, on our 2012 Keystone Outback. I first replaced the original 14 gauge bumper with an 11 gauge one, with an additional 3/16" angle iron welded underneath for added support. We plan to carry around 175 lbs on the carrier, and we believe we are very well prepared. As you'll see in the pictures, I also welded the original bumber underneath for storing stuff.

GREAT! Do have to be mindful of big dips in and out of some campsites when the carrier is down.
