Question:
Im looking to purchase a swing arm to attach to my 2026 Travato 59k. I have a Curt 18153 cargo carrier and of course cant open the rear doors. Which ones would you recommend that would work with my set up. Im trying to research it but getting conflicting answers. Thank you!

Congrats on the new motorhome Louise! I recommend the Kuat Pivot XD Heavy Duty Swing Away Hitch Extender item # KU37KR. At 350 lbs of capacity this is the highest rated swing away arm that is available. It is compatible with cargo carriers like your Curt one that fits a 2" receiver.
The Pivot XD Heavy Duty Swing Away Hitch Extender item # KU37KR fits a 2" hitch receiver and will swing out to the passenger side of your motorhome 90° or 120°. This will allow you plenty of clearance to open your rear doors with the cargo carrier.
We also have the Kuat Pivot v3 item # KU98CR, which swings out to the driver's side and has a lower 250 lbs capacity.
What kind of gear to you carry in your cargo carrier? Feel free to answer this and throw in any other questions you have, where it says Add Comment.

I bought 2 of these one is on a 2026 Honda Passport. It has there spare tire attachment and it works great swing it out and you can open the rear windows and tailgate combo. I have another on on my jeep. This one has the kuat bike rack on it. Carries my mountain bikes. Same thing swings out and then I can open my rear windows and tailgate. Tailgate has spare tire on it and the bike rake still works great. I can also move the bike rack over to the Passport if I need to switch vehicles. Easy to swap. Kuat products are very high quality. They do cost a little more but they are worth it. When I have 2 mountain bikes on the rack your talking about 20,00.00 with of bikes so I made sure I got the best rack and swing out hitch I could find. Very happy with Kuat products.
