Vehicle Fit Series -- Hummer H3

It's a fact of life: vehicles are as unique as their owners, coming in every color, shape and size. Here at StowAway2, we have taken every effort to ensure that there is a StowAway2 Cargo Carrier for every driver AND every vehicle.

Some vehicles, however, are trickier to fit than others: spare tires, rear ladders, different hitch sizes, you name it. This post will initiate a series of posts that will examine known vehicle fit issues with the StowAway2. We'll focus on some of America's most popular vehicles and explain EXACTLY how our Carriers will work with these vehicles.

What better vehicle to start with than... the HUMMER H3!


As you can see, we've got a huge rear-mounted spare tire and an overly-large door to deal with. The good news is that StowAway2 Cargo Carriers will work on the Hummer H3, with some limitations.

Our Swingaway carriers will sit behind the H3’s spare tire with no problem. H3 owners: to access the contents of your carrier, you will simply swing the box away slightly, open your lid, and then swing the carrier closed. One nice feature is that Swingaway carriers will enable the box to ride as close to your vehicle as possible: the carrier will sit only 2 or 3 inches behind the H3's spare tire.

Please be advised: Because of the H3’s large rear door, our Swingaway carriers will not allow access to the rear of your vehicle.

Outlet Store Update

Hey bloggers -- thanks for checking in. We just wanted to give everyone a heads up: we've updated the StowAway2 Outlet Store.

For the first time in almost 2 months, there's a MAX Swingaway available. It's listed at 50 bucks off! With that savings, you could:

1) purchase a few StowAway2 accessories
2) purchase a few extra pounds of chocolate for your Valentine.

Hey, either way, we understand. Just be sure to capitalize on our Outlet Store specials before they're gone!

StowAway2 Meets The Long Arm

It's customer survey time here again at StowAway2; every year we ask StowAway2 owners to send us their thoughts about every aspect of their cargo carriers. We always enjoy reading their thoughtful responses and, occasionally, funny vignettes. This year we got this doozy from StowAway2 owner Jonathan D.

When I was stopped by the Highway Patrol for "speeding", the conversation quickly went to "what is this thing on the back of your car?" I showed the officer the features, especially the Swingaway feature. He was impressed. Gave him a brochure and then he let me off with just a warning. Maybe you could say the StowAway2 saved me from being ticketed!


There you go, yet another good reason to add a StowAway2 hitch carrier to the back of your vehicle. Need three more reasons? Click here to find out Why a StowAway2 makes sense for you!

Thanks to Jonathan for taking the time to pass that story along. Check back soon for more owner stories. Do you have a story of your own? Send it in!

Ride the Airstream

Welcome to the redesigned StowAway2 Blog! To kick things off, we'd like to share some nice words and a great picture sent in by StowAway2 owner John B. With all the snow we've been having up here in the Pacific Northwest lately, this pristine campground sure looks appealing!

Here's what John had to say about his new StowAway2 MAX Swingaway, which is shown here on his Airstream van.

"Assembled the unit with no problems and worked perfectly on our first trip. What a great product! I just ordered the wheel kit which will no doubt make it more maneuverable to store in the garage or install on our Yukon. I am an extremely pleased customer!"

We appreciate the kind words, John; thanks for choosing StowAway2.

As always, bloggers, we'd love to hear your feedback...
