GMC Envoy XL

One of the most popular vehicles on the road, the GMC Envoy XL is super-versatile, great for the large family or the adventuresome couple.

Envoy owners are one of the largest StowAway2 owner groups. So it's about time we featured pictures of one of our Max Swingaway carriers (with Wheel Kit) on an Envoy XL on this blog!


Sideview:

The sideview shows you what to expect clearance wise. The box is set far enough back so it can be opened when it's not swung out. Also, it's far enough back so that the Envoy's rear glass can be opened without swinging the box out. To access the rear cargo area by opening the liftgate, simply swing the cargo box out to 90 degrees and you're good to go!

Thinking Inside the Cargo Box

Yes, thinking inside the box runs counter to the cliche, but even big-thinking, adventuresome StowAway2 owners do it sometimes. Why, you might ask? Well, when it comes to bringing along extra gear, you want to be sure everything will fit. Hopefully, the following pictures will give you an interesting, top-down perspective on their capacity.

First up is the Max Box (our most popular), which can be purchased a la carte by clicking here. The Max cargo carrier box has a capacity of 16 cubic feet, with dimensions of 51" L x 23" W x 26" H.

For more information about the Max Box, check out our Max Box Showroom page. Also, observant viewers will see that this particular Max box features our flush-faced, upgraded LED tail lights. To order the LED lights, simply click here.

Our second cargo box is the Standard Box, which can be purchased a la carte by clicking here. The standard cargo carrier box has a capacity of 12.5 cubic feet, with dimensions of 49" L x 21" W x 24" H.

For more information about the Standard Box, check out our Standard Box Showroom Page. The standard box pictured above features our standard, full-function trailer tail lights built in.

Sportsmobile Conversion Van

After what's been our biggest October ever, we-- like you-- are starting to consider the long, beautiful countdown to the winter holidays. But we're not quite there yet! So check out the recently-fallen leafs in these shots of StowAway2 Owner Jane G.'s Sportsmobile conversion van. The hitch cargo carrier pictured below is our popular Super Max Swingaway model.

Sideview:

One of the great things about StowAway2 Swingaway Cargo Carriers is that they can clear just about any rear-mounted spare tire. Here, the spare tire is mounted to a swinging frame of its own, just below the rear door. As you can see, there's more than two inches of clearance behind the spare tire, plenty of room to swing open the cargo carrier and acces the rear of the van.

2007 GMC Yukon with StowAway2 Cargo Carrier

Recently, we installed a Max Swingaway cargo carrier on a brand-new (so new it still has the dealer sticker on the back and no license plate yet!) 2007 GMC Yukon. Here it is pictured:

As you can see, this Max Swingaway also features the StowAway2 Wheel Kit as well as an accessory that we haven't mentioned yet on the StowAway2 Blog, the Travel Counter.

The Travel Counter hooks onto the base of your Max Box, providing a horizontal surface for preparing food during a tailgate or camping trip. If you have either our Standard Box or our Sport Box, the Travel Counter will come with a Lid Stay, which helps prop open your box's lid. The Max hitch cargo box box does not need a lid stay, as it has a grooved notch which secures the lid open in the vertical position.
