Expert Answers about Toyota RV Cargo Carrier


  • How Is the 24x84 etrailer Cargo Carrier for RV Bumper Secured While Folded Up
  • The 24x84 etrailer Cargo Carrier for RV Bumper part # e96ZR can be secured in the folded up position. There are two standoff brackets on top of the bumper brackets which will line up with the vertical supports on the side rails of the carrier. They will actually drop into the slot between the standoffs and then are locked into place with the pins. I have attached a photo which shows this.

  • Can a Cargo Carrier Rated for 500 lbs. Carry a 300 lb. Safe
  • When using a cargo carrier like the 19x59 Curt Cargo Carrier # C18109 which has a 500 lb. capacity you will most likely be fine to carry a 300 lb. safe, but it will come down to how wide the base of the safe is. From a shear weight standpoint, it would be ok. The problem comes from the concentration of the weight. When a cargo carrier is rated for 500 lbs. that is with the weight evenly dispersed across the carrier. If your safe has a wider base then you would be fine, however if your...

  • Will the 24x84 etrailer Cargo Carrier for RV Bumper Work With a Trailer Hitch
  • The brackets on the 24x84 etrailer Cargo Carrier for RV Bumper part # e96ZR are not movable. That said, what you can do is slide the carrier left to right which would allow you to make room for a trailer hitch if present. Therefore, the carrier may just need to be slightly offset.

  • RV Cargo Carrier with Spare Tire Holder
  • The etrailer # e96ZR carrier that you referenced does not have a tire carrier specifically made for it. You may be able to modify the cargo carrier and spare tire carrier # Y07076 to hold the spare tire to the carrier. If modifying the cargo carrier is not something you want to do then I recommend a cargo net like # C18202. I am not sure if you would have sufficient clearance to place the tire underneath of it when the platform is down.

  • Can the Reese Solo Cargo Carrier Be Used on a Keystone Cougar Travel Trailer
  • Yes, the 32x48 Reese Solo Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches # PS1040100 can be used with your 2017 Keystone Cougar Travel Trailer. You are going to need a trailer hitch to use this cargo carrier so you'd need to add one with # C13702 if you don't already have one or you can just use the 24x40 etrailer Cargo Carrier for RV Bumper # e99050 instead which will bolt up to your bumper.

  • Where do Brackets of 24x64 etrailer Cargo Carrier for RV Bumper # e83YR Install on Bumper
  • Yes the brackets of the 24x64 etrailer Cargo Carrier for RV Bumper # e83YR that you referenced would get bolted to the frame rails under the bumper to give it more support so that you could carry heavier items like generators.

  • Does Yakima EVO Enclosed Cargo Carrier, # Y62VR Require a Threaded Hitch Pin
  • First, the Yakima EXO Swing Away Enclosed Cargo Carrier # Y62VR, extends out 4-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole, so unless the spare tire is removed from the back of the RV, it will not clear the tire. The Yakima EXO comes with a locking anti-rattle device, pulling the shank to the side of the hitch to reduce rattle. The Yakima EXO comes with a wrench to install or remove the anti rattle hitch pin and lock. However, this would be more easily done with a standard ratchet...

  • Curt Stabilizing Strap for Adjustable Width RV Hitch # 13703
  • Per the warranty of the Curt # 13703, a stabilizing strap like part # 18050 would need to be used for hitch accessories like bike racks or cargo carriers. The strap is designed to provide additional support for the hitch mounted accessory. Curt has the same warranty stipulation on their Class I and II passenger vehicle hitches (as well as some of the Class III's). Finding a place to attach the hook on the end of the strap is usually pretty simple, but can be more difficult with a motorhome. Other...

  • Does Curt RV Trailer Hitch # 13703 Require a Support Strap
  • When using Curt Class I and II 1-1/4-inch trailer hitches and some Class III hitches, such as the Curt Adjustable Width RV Trailer Hitch # 13703 you referenced, you will need to use a stabilizer strap like the Curt Stabilizer Strap # 18050 on items such as bike racks, cargo carriers, etc., or else the warranty Curt provides will be voided. The Curt hitch features a 3500-lb GTW and a 350-lb tongue weight with side brackets that fit frames from 22- to 72-inches wide. The purpose of the strap...

  • Can Stromberg Carlson Folding Bumper-Mounted Tire Carrier # TR-2 Be Used In Lowered Position
  • I called my contact at Stromberg Carlson and asked about the Folding Bumper-Mounted Tire Carrier # TR-2. The tire carrier cannot be left in the lowered position as you asked. There would be too much stress on the lower bolt on the carrier and would be unsafe. The upper pin is designed to secure the arm with the tire and should always be used in the upright position when traveling.

  • Solution for Using Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier at Rear Of RV with 1-1/4 inch Hitch
  • Since hitch adapters like what you have generally aren't rated for RV use and best case scenario cut the tongue weight capacity of the hitch they are installed in by 50 percent I would not recommend the use of a Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Carrier part # RM-195225 with on. Better solution would be to install a 2 inch hitch on the RV (if it has a 4 inch square bumper), with a hitch like the part # E-100.

  • Is the Curt Trailer Hitch Support Strap Part # 18050 Used to Secure Cargo
  • The Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13703 like most Curt trailer hitches will indeed require a stabilizer strap like part # 18050 for all non-towing applications. The support strap is designed to be wrapped around the accessory and then secured to the vehicle/trailer as you can see in the attached video. The strap is not designed to secure cargo to the carrier like a ratchet strap or cargo net would. Please note that bike racks that will be used on the back of an RV or...

  • Mounting A Generator To A 1972 Shasta Camper
  • With limited tongue space, one solution would be to add a trailer hitch and cargo carrier to the rear of your Shasta camper but there are multiple items to address first. An RV/Camper hitch like either the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13701 is an option, providing up to 500lbs of tongue weight for a cargo carrier and your generator. These are always limited by your lowest rated component and the camper may not have sufficient capacity to support the weight of a carrier, hitch,...

  • Can Generator Remain on the Stromberg Carlson Trailer Tray Cargo Carrier # CC-255 During Use
  • Yes, you can leave your generator mounted on the Stromberg Carlson Trailer Tray Cargo Carrier # CC-255 while you are using it! I would just be sure to mount the generator in such a way that the exhaust isn't pointing towards anything while in use.

  • Can the Curt Bumper Mount Trailer Hitch # C19101 be used Upside Down
  • You can certainly use the Curt Bumper Mount Trailer Hitch, # C19101, upside down. I spoke with my contact at Curt to see if there were any restrictions or further limitations by using this hitch upside down and he told me that you will have no problem using it that way. The capacities of the hitch will stay the same and you can gain more ground clearance for your cargo carrier (which can be a big deal at the back of RVs and trailers).

  • The Swagman Motorhome Bumper 2-Bike Carrier, part # S80605, is intended for use on 4- to 4-1/2-inch continuous-weld steel RV bumpers (not aluminum or spot-welded bumpers) and can carry two conventional bikes of similar length.

  • Can I Install a Trailer Hitch on my 5th Wheel Trailer
  • You can certainly have a trailer hitch installed on your 2001 Glendale Golden Eagle, but there are a few things that you will want to consider before going this route. First, since your trailer was not designed with a trailer hitch by the manufacturer, an exact weight capacity would be very hard to determine. Trailer hitches designed for use on RVs and trailers, like the Curt Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch, # 13703, are universal fit items so it is up to the installer to ensure that they...

  • Carrying Bikes Horizontally Behind a Ford Okanagan Camper Van
  • This rack is designed to maximize space behind an RV and minimize damage from road debris and wind by placing the bikes fully behind the RV while its in motion. I don't recommend mounting the bikes horizontally on this rack as the bikes could stick out past the side of the RV into the next lane of traffic and become a hazard for other drivers. If you're looking to mount your bikes horizontally, I recommend instead a hitch or bumper mounted rack. Swagman offers two Platform style bike racks,...

  • Where Does Fascia have to be Trimmed to Install Trailer Hitch on a 2017 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen
  • The area on the 2017 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen that needs to be trimmed to install Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24949 is covered in the instructions which I have linked. I also included a picture showing this step from the instructions. Any trusted mechanic or RV dealer with a service center can install the hitch. I recommend calling around to see what different places charge for labor. If you want to use the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier then you have to make...
