What's up everybody. It's AJ with etrailer.com. Today we're gonna be checking out the etrailer RV cargo carrier, it's gonna be the 24 by 60 version. So this is gonna be a bumper-mounted cargo carrier, so you don't need a hitch. It attaches to the bumper. It's really easy to put on there, and it's really sturdy.
You can hold a bunch of your gear from inside your rig that you don't want on the inside. For instance, we got a generator on there, we don't want that gasoline smell on the inside, so we got it here on the outside. It can hold up to 500 pounds. Just keep that in mind when you're loading up your gear. Let's check it out.
Some expectations I have for cargo carriers, especially one that goes on the back of RV, is I want it to be sturdy. Just looking at this thing, you can see how sturdy it looks. It feels sturdy as well. It can hold up to 500 pounds, like I said, it's got a black powder coat steel tubular design, so not only is it protected from the elements, but you can tell that it's gonna be able to hold that generator or whatever gear you put on there, as long as you stay within that weight limit. Now, some other RV cargo carriers are out there, the GennyGo comes to mind, they have more of a flat metal design with smaller side rails, which can pretty much carry a generator just fine.
They're kind of meant just for the generator. This one seems like it's more open and able to handle a bunch of different gear at the same time, with all the tie down points and the generator. I just, this one I'm more confident in just looking at it. Another expectation I have is gonna be longevity. How long is this gonna last I want something that might grow with me, if I needed to.
Let's say I start hauling more stuff. I need to add a little bit more. You can expand this cargo carrier. You can add an extension on the inside. It's gonna be 24 inches added onto the 60 inches you already have, so it'll make it 84 inches in total. So it'll go more out to the bumpers and give you more space if you need more stuff to carry. And I really like that aspect just because I don't know what I'm gonna get into accessory wise. This is fine now. Great investment. I'm happy with it, but what if I need a little bit more space I don't have to buy a whole new cargo carrier and just let this one go away. So the fact that I can actually add onto this and keep using the same features I've been using, and I'm already used to this cargo carrier is great. Now, with adding the cargo carrier online bumper, I do worry a little bit about the wear and tear on it. Having the extra cargo carrier alone, not to mention all the weight you're putting on that. What is they gonna do over time Well, luckily, they included a bracket that's gonna go on your bumper, and this is gonna go right here where you have a tube frame, an I frame, or even an S frame. You can modify it to get it, to put around there. And that's gonna add extra support to your bumper to make sure over time it still stays in the same place and helps it out when you add it extra weight. Let's check out how to get one of those installed. The first step in the installation is gonna be holding up the bracket to whatever beam you have. So I suggest using a clamp to hold it in place so you can mark your holes to then drill them out. You're gonna get two different drill bits. One's gonna be for a pilot hole, and one's gonna free make it big enough for the bracket to actually run those bolts in. Now, again, be very sure to read those instructions, 'cause there's different variations of what hardware you use and what pattern you use for the different style beams and bumpers. Take a look at this while it's already installed. You can see maybe have a better idea of how it actually does help the bumper and the beam. So you can see right where those welds are. That's where the bracket goes and falls along and underneath kind of giving that extra support. So if it starts to sag a little bit or just the carrier pulls down on that beam right on those fragile weld, you can see that it's gonna help support it and keep it upright and not bend down. So that over time is gonna keep it looking better. So it's sturdy. It's got that longevity not only on the bumper support, but also if I need to expand it at some time, I can, I don't need buy new cargo carrier. Great. The other thing I think about is versatility. So it adds a little bit to the back of your rig. It'd be nice if it folded up. This cargo carrier actually does. So how about I
