Hitch and Storage

This content has been archived. It may no longer be relevant

We added a hitch for a bike rack, and a BAL spare tire carrier this week under the RV to hold the portable waste tank. We wanted to hold the spare tire for the truck on the carrier since there is no longer room in the factory location, but it is too wide to fit. This works out great too, though, because after cleaning out our basement storage it is almost empty.

The hitch and carrier hang down pretty far under the RV, but there is still plenty of clearance.

The bike rack we ordered (Swagman XTC2) is way too wobbly back there so we found a stronger one (Swagman Dispatch) made of 2″ stock instead of 1.25″ and advertised for RV use. I would have bought it initially, but didn’t know it existed. Unfortunately our initial rack was out of the return window, so it will be going on Craigslist.
