It's always an "Aha" moment the first time someone sees a StowAway2 Swingaway carrier. To capture this, we put together a little animation to show off just how slick our swinging steel frame is.

As you can see, the StowAway2 Swingaway frame pivots 180 degrees to allow full access to the rear of your vehicle. Good times! To see a video of our Swingaway carrier in action, go HERE.
Good news, the newly-redesigned StowAway2.com is just days away. In the meantime, we've received a truly impressive submission from a StowAway2 owner.
It's a question we've addressed before: what do you do with your StowAway2 when its not in use? We've developed a Wheel Kit and a Cover to help with storage solutions, but StowAway2 owner Mark Gacke took it a step farther: he developed a stand mount. Mark went all out on this, sending in pictures of his stand and the dimensional drawings he used to design the stand.
Click on these images to enlarge them for a better look.
As you can see from the drawings, his stand is designed to support the full weight of the StowAway2 Cargo Carrier box and frame. He's even crafted a 2" x 2" opening to slide his frame into. We're blown away! Thanks Mark!
Have a custom idea like Mark? Send it in!
CONGRATULATIONS FROM STOWAWAY2
It's an annual tradition here at StowAway2: a $100 prize to a randomly-drawn StowAway2 owner who takes the time to fill out our customer satisfaction survey. Drumroll, please...
And the Winner Is:
Daryl Winn from Boulder, CO!
Daryl and his wife travel regularly by RV, traipsing the North American continent with StowAway2 in tow.
This year, for the first time, we also conducted a StowAway2 photo contest, also with a top prize of $100. The results were amazing, with pictures sent in from Alaska to Florida, and everywhere in between.
And First Place goes to:
Howard Rogers of Roswell, Georgia!
Again, congratulations from all of us here at StowAway2. Check out a few of Howard's prize-winning flicks:
These pictures will also be featured prominently on the brand-new StowAway2.com. We thank Howard for letting us use his shots. We might have mentioned this before, but the original StowAway2 Cargo Carrier was designed by a team of duck hunters, like Howard and company. Check out the history here.
Check back soon for some results from our customer survey. Thanks to everyone who took the time to send in their feedback!
I know we're a little late, but Happy Memorial Day! We hope everyone had a great weekend. We know a lot of you probably broke out the barbeques over the past few days. Have you considered a StowAway2 Tailgate Station, the best way to take your party on the road?
In other news, a great web resource came across our desks this morning: Automotive Total. Automotive Total is a full-fledged online Automotive Web Directory, with information and links to products, services, companies, and auto information. A handy one-stop shop! Definitely worth bookmarking.
Stay tuned: StowAway2 contest winners will be announced this week!
