Owners Gallery -- Pleasureway Motorhome

Just the other day, into our mailbox came these great shots from StowAway2 Owner Mike C.

As you can see below, Mike has installed a Max Swingaway cargo carrier onto his Pleasureway motorhome.


To access the rear storage area of the Pleasureway, simply swing the carrier on its pivoting frame.

Swinging the carrier open allows full clearance on the left-hand rear door and roughly 70 degrees clearance on the right hand door.

"This is a good product," says Mike.
"Thanks for the pictures," we say to Mike!

Winnebago View

StowAway2 Owner Bill M. was gracious enough to let us snap these pictures of his Max Swingaway Cargo Carrier (with Wheel Kit) that is hooked up to the back of his Winnebago View.

In the following picture, you can see that the StowAway2 provides plenty of clearance for his rear mounted ladder. If you look close, you can see Bill has a Ladder Bike Rack as well.

In the last picture, you can see the clearance off the back of the vehicle that our Swingaway Cargo Carrier offers, as it is tucked up nicely behind the rear mounted spare tire. Curious about clearance for your vehicle? Check out our StowAway2 Spare Tire Clearance Guide by clicking here.

Owners Gallery -- Northstar Camper Shell

As the weather turns gloomy here in the Pacific Northwest -- it is October, after all-- we got to looking through the photo archives from the past summer. What a summer it was! Here's some great shots from August that we forgot to pass along, sent in by StowAway2 Owner Jeff P.

First up is Jeff's new Max Swingaway attached to the back of his Chevy Truck (with Northstar Camper shell).


Initially, Jeff was concerned that the Swingaway Cargo Carrier might not allow access to his rear camper door. As you can see from the following shots, however, our Swingaway Cargo Carriers allow full access to the rear of his camper shell.


Like many StowAway2 Owners, Jeff said he was ordering his cargo carrier to bring along on for extra storage space on camping trips. Here's a few shots that he sent in of his setup as he trekked through the California wilderness.

As you can see, Jeff has added a custom telescoping pole to support the underside of his StowAway2 carrier.

Here's another shot of the support pole in use.

Owners Gallery -- Bike Cargo Rack

It's been awhile since we've written about the StowAway2 Bike Cargo Rack (here's one post and here's another from back in the day).

Today's post will catch you up: here's a few shots taken this summer, when some intrepid travellers and hardcore mountain bikers stopped by our corporate office. Here's a shot of their sweet Dodge Pleasureway conversion van with the Bike Cargo Rack attached.

Here's another shot with the rack fully loaded with 4 mountain bikes.


If you've got a keen eye, you'll notice the bike rack post in the picture is actually quite a bit taller than our normal bike rack post. If you've got large mountain bikes, we can custom-size our post to fit your bikes, as we did for this gentleman. The longer post also means more vertical room underneath the bikes for storing your gear in the cargo rack basket.

For more information check out our Bike Cargo Rack page. Don't forget: the Bike Cargo Rack swings 180 degrees for total access to the rear of your vehicle.
