Question:

I want a cargo rack for my trailer. I looked at the tongue mounted rack. It looks great. However my tongue weight is already at about 13. You have any racks for the rear bumper that would place the cargo above the spare tire?

Expert Reply:

The Stromberg Carlson Trailer Tray Cargo Carrier for A-Frame Trailers # CC-255 is a nice option but if you do not have the tongue weight room, I do have a couple potential options for you. But, we do not have a cargo rack designed to mount to your trailers bumper and place it above your spare tire.

There is the Surco Spare-Tire-Mounted Cargo Basket # SPSJ4319 which will mount to your spare tire mount if it is attached to your trailer and not an aftermarket bumper or hitch mounted spare tire carrier.

If it is one of those after market carriers, we also have the Lippert Underchassis Double Bin Storage Unit for RVs # LC236558 which will mount beneath your trailer chassis.
