Custom Hitch Cargo Rack

This morning we got a nice email from new StowAway2 Owner Alan S. (Illinois) who wrote, "Thanks for the good service and fast delivery." He also took the time to take some pictures of his new Swingaway Cargo Rack-- with some custom additions.

The Swingaway Cargo Rack will clear just about every liftgate with no contact. However, "barn doors" -- double doors that open from the middle and have hinges on the outside-- can sometimes provide limited clearance or even contact the rack, as is pictured below.


Alan's solution was simple and cheap: "I just put 3/4 hot water pipe insulation on the basket to keep the door from getting scratched."

Check out the clearance his setup has in the shot below.

Thanks for taking the time to send those shots in, Alan! We wish you safe travels this summer.

It's always great to hear from StowAway2 owners. Got a story? Let us know!
