Question:

We have a MB Sprinter RV that I want to add the Yakima trailer hitch storage system to. Since there are no rear doors on our unit, I don’t need the swing-a-way feature. Is there a fixed position trailer hitch mount for the Gear Box? Thank you!

Expert Reply:

The swing away feature for the Yakima EXO Swing Away Enclosed Cargo Carrier # Y62VR is not offered in a fixed configuration, but if you didn't need the feature you don't have to use it.

Apart from just not using that feature, you could use a different cargo box like the GearSpace 34 Enclosed Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitch # HGK819.

This cargo carrier is quite large, offering 34 cubic feet of storage space, but it will also fit into a 2" receiver like the EXO system you were looking at. This cargo carrier does not have a swing away base, however it does have a sliding base.
