Tailgate Time

August is here and that means 2 things:

1. It's Hot
2. Football season is just around the corner.












If you're like us, football season means 2 things:

1. Tailgating!
2. Tailgating!!

Today, we were lucky enough to hear from StowAway2 owner E.L. from Maryland. E.L. is a Redskins season ticket holder and has been "an avid tailgater for over 20 years."

E.L. happens to own the Swingaway Cargo Rack, and let us know that his rack "is absolutely the best piece of tailgating equipment I've ever owned. I use it religiously!"

Thanks for the kind words E.L.!

Football fans: are you as serious about your tailgating as you are about cheering on your team? Check out our StowAway2 Tailgate Page and consider adding one of our enclosed carriers or one of our open-faced racks to your cheering section. Also, be sure to check out our Tailgate Stations and tailgating accessories!

Bike Cargo Rack

Gotta love new products. Check out our newly-refined Bike Cargo Rack. Although the pictured model is holding 2 bike racks, this combination rack system can hold up to 4 bikes and 200 pounds of gear.

Here's a screenshot (click on the picture for an animation showing different angles):



The Bike Cargo Rack sits on our patented and popular Swingaway frame and is totally versatile: you can use both racks together, only the Bike Rack, or only the Cargo Rack. Your choice! You can even take both racks off and replace it with one of our enclosed cargo carriers, like the MAX Swingaway.

The NEW StowAway2.com!

The day is finally here: the brand-new StowAway2.com is online!

Welcome, Bloggers! If this is your first time, take a minute to peruse our archives as StowAway2 Owners have been sending in great tips for nearly four months.

So what's new on StowAway2.com? Well, for starters, we asked StowAway2 Owners how they use our carriers. After collecting and tabulating the results, we put together the StowAway2 Applications Section. Click through these pages for some great owner-submitted photography, funny anecdotes, and telling testimonials. We're always adding to this section, so if you've got an application that we've overlooked, a picture you're dying to share, or a quote you think we would like to hear, send it in!

If you're new to the idea of hitch-mounted cargo carriers, be sure to run through our StowAway2 Product Selector, a nifty little tool that will help you determine which one of our products is right for your vehicle and application.

Want more? View the deepest catalogue of hitch-mounted cargo carriers and racks in our redesigned Products Section.
