Question:

We have a 2016 Mercedes Sprinter Camper Van. Looking for the ability to carry both cargo and 2 bikes. Which option can you recommend that extends the least? Looks like it might be the Lets Go Aero H01380 with the H01199. From what I can gather on line, it would be 40 inch 34 + 6 from the hitch pin hole to the outer edge of the rack. We also have a Wilco swing away hitch if you know of a way to configure something that might fill our needs. Thanks for such an awesome website.

Using the Lets Go Aero GearCage FP4 Slide-Out Cargo Carrier # H01380 along with the Lets Go Aero Rack-IT # H01199 is a great solution for carrying cargo and bikes.

You have the option to add some accessories like a lock # ACC3250, water resistant bag # HCR628, and lights # H01540 is you choose to.

Even though I stated the weight capacities above, you need to check the weight capacity of your 2016 Mercedes Sprinter Camper Van as well as the Wilco swing away receiver (if you choose to use it) to ensure that you don't overload them.

I have attached some review videos for you to check out as well.
