Hey Todd, thanks for reaching out. So the Swagman Swivel Hitch Extender # S86SR will be the best option for this since it has a 300 lb rating compared to 250 lbs with the other swing away extenders. It is possible for this setup with the 24x60 Reese Cargo Carrier with etrailer Enclosure Cage # RP85AR to work on your Sprinter RV, you will just need to keep a close eye on the amount of weight you are carrying. Consider the following:

The swing away extender has a 300 lb capacity. This includes the weight of the cage itself (118 lbs) and whatever cargo you are carrying. This limits you to about 180 lbs of cargo.

Also, we need to consider the tongue weight capacity of the hitch on your RV. There should be a sticker on it that shows the capacity, but you will want to make sure to keep the total weight below that number too. This setup is only as strong as the weakest component. The hitch needs to carry the weight of the swing away (47 lbs), plus the weight of the cage and whatever cargo. As long as you manage the weight and keep these numbers in mind, you will be good to go.

What kind of stuff will you be putting in the cage?
