What rack is this
That particular rack is only made for those RV’s. However there are aftermarket ones that are similar. https://www.etrailer.com/RV-Cargo-Carrier/etrailer/e83YR.html
Highway 395 just north of Walker?
I like these… and I don’t.
Yes, they are avaialable after market too. We had a similar solution on our class C which mounted on the hitch receiver and was very convenient for bicycles and firewood.
Ours (now) is a two point hinge mount like this one on the bumper of our TT. I probably like the idea of it more than the actual rack, which I may or may not ever use since I’m pulling the TT with a pickup, I have plenty of transit space for bicycles and firewood in the truck.
It is bolted around the square RV bumper and mounted close to the attachment to the chassis, in the strongest part available there. So coolers, bicycles… I wouldn’t trust it with too much weight, but it’s good for keeping sand out of the trailer.
What I don’t like (about ours!) is that the manufacturer decided that it’s a great place to mount the spare tire (wheel). Which is fine, but doesn’t have a lot of ground clearance when folded down. Who thought that was a good idea?
I have only towed light-weight trailers with small-engine tow vehicles so my experiences are a bit skewed but I would never add that much weight to the rear of my trailer. I feel like fish-tailing would be inevitable.
I am currently looking for one of these that can hold a 200lb generator. Bumper has a hitch, and is frame mounted, but is recessed under the back of the trailer to make a sleeker look I guess, so finding one is giving me issues.
I may have to use a metal fabricator to fashion one.
Their typical weight limit seems to be 400-500 lbs.
Haha… Omg, I took a picture of the same type of thing today going down the road to show my husband! It’s like a hinged carrier installed on the bumper. Love this for travel if you need a little bit more room.
I got a spare tire there. Would be nice to have but I’m not sure if I could add anything but a bike rack for mine and I’m not even sure I’d be able to do that with a tire mounted.
