Hi David! Long time subscriber. Defended you on your excellent weight distribution hitch video. I’m sure your electric bikes are light. But I’d like to warn people. Just because a rack can hold a ton of weight doesn’t mean you should. Firewood seems great on a rack like that. Out side no mess. But weighs a ton. Can cause severe trailer sway. Moving your spare to the bed instead of keeping its weight back there was a great idea. Every video I’ve seen of a camper swaying and losing control had a rear rack. I’m considering an A frame front bike rack because of that. I have a little Coleman 17B so weight placement is a little more of a concern for me. Love your videos. Hope Roe is enjoying her new job. Take care!
I have to say this is one of the best instructional videos I have seen on TH-cam. You hit it out of the park. I have subscribed just because of the great job. I have a 5th wheel and looking for a foldable cargo carrier. However I have two Lectric e-bikes but one of the is a trike with a 30in wheelbase. So I want one of these that is 30 inches wide. Big thanks for the bumper support idea. Never thought of that.
Adding a couple hundred pounds to the back of a trailer takes weight off the tongue could really mess with the weight and balance your trailer. Depending on tow vehicle it could cause it sway. I know. I tried put a 90 lb generator on the back of a 24 Hi-lo towed by a full size Blazer. Soon as I hit 55 on the freeway on-ramp i crossed 3 lanes of traffic in less than 100 ft and back and forth till I could slow down and pull of the side. Thank gd it was early morning and little traffic. Put the generator inside the trailer door and it towed like had prior to the change. Be careful the first time getting up to speed.
Exactly! I talked about this in the comments of the previous video and was dismissed. Again, no mention of weight distribution and the need to balance the tongue or you could have a severe problem. A gust of wind could throw it off if not balanced.
Thanks David! - On my TT - I had a rear 2" hitch installed between the frame "I" beams, then I got a split receiver that has two hitches vertically separated by about 4".
I installed a 500lb capacity rack in the lower receiver and a bicycle mount into the upper receiver.
I carry two large plastic storage bins on the lower rack - I think this helps offset the second battery and the 20lb to 30lb propane tank upgrade I did in the front.
Nice install. I know my trailer has 1500lbs tongue weight, so I wouldn’t be too concerned about detracting from tongue weight, but this would be a bad idea if a person was light on the tongue and then put heavy items in the rack.
Great to see you guys back again always enjoyable I'm like the guy below I was wondering where you ended up putting the spare tire
When we installed our rear rack on the RV, i also added a BAL Hide a Spare to store the spare tire under the RV.
I've heard of a few Rvers getting their electric bikes and generators stolen from the back of travel trailers while stuck in traffic and overnight on travel days.
I would add a small siren alarm with a pull wire, so you can hear it from the truck cab or inside if it's taken off.
thats what Sweetie's for! lol
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Great video. Thank you!
Thanks for info. Great video
Awesome dude!!! love it! 😁
I built and installed a similar hitch rack and love it. I would recommend that you keep an eye on the paint. Mine seemed to rust very easily and very quickly. A can of spray paint might be in your future
Good job, thanks for the video.🥳
Thank you Sandra!
We were just considering one of those lately. Thank you for the insights!
Thanks Kim! Just make sure you also put bumper support brackets on
Nifty idea thanks!
Very nice. Just like the solar.
Only one ? Have you ever weighed your trailer now that you have all the extras added. Cargo caring capacity adds up fast, also when you put fresh water in tank. Just asking.
did Roe heckle you through the window? LOL
Thank you, very good information.
Thanks! Glad you found it useful!
Great product
Great install! What did you end up doing with your travel trailer spare tire?
It's just in the back of the truck with our air compressor stacked on top of it. It takes up virtually no extra room back there 👍
Do you need to center the cargo carrier or can you place to one side to make room for spare tire??
How much did this affect your tongue weight? Did you need to do any load rebalancing to compensate for the weight in the back?
Looks like a great place to haul fire wood just add a storage bin to the cargo carrier.
Your caravan is made in auminium? 😂 That is a good idea. In europe most are done in plastic (very easy to steal, I think)
Hi guys.stay safe.
what chain/lock did you eventually decide on
You're the man!
Thanks!
And she know it.
Thank you ❤
Washington BMV must be cheaper than Indiana? Lol. Hope you guys are still doing great and loving life.
Is this still working ok with enough support? Thanks
Hi David!! We have the same bikes and we currently store them in a 40 gallon tote. Just curious if the totes would fit on the size carrier that you have? I am wanting to put this setup on our trailer. Thanks
What do I do with my spare tire? Is there a video on putting it under the camper? Thanks David
So, what did you do with the trailer spare tire? Did it go into the truck bed space you just made available or do you keep moving it around inside the TT every time you set up?
Nice job, David. What did you do with the spare tire you took off?
Hey 👋
Looking to add the same thing.
How has it held up?
Just wondering if you have taken your camper on a road trip yet with your new rack on the back. Curious to see how it handles.
Yep! We've traveled from the Las Vegas area where this was filmed to the central valley of California and so far all's good 👍
People should be reminded to also triple check their tongue weight ASAP.
We've all seen the videos on how a trailer sways with too much weight on the tail end.
Yes people! Research tongue weight and weight distribution!
Great video as always 😀
Nice, very nice
David why did you buy the bumper supports? The cargo carrier from etrailer comes with a set. I'm planning on doing this when I'm in Quartzsite this winter.
Love it
What is cargo carrier part# on etrailer
Thanks
where did you purchase this carrier from? how much? ty!
What about your spare tire?
Could you put the bikes on the rack unfolded?
I'm not certain, I haven't tried. We like them folded and because it keeps them from blocking the view from our rear window which is very important to us.
So I assume the spare tire is now carried in your truck bed?
Yep, gotta still have a spare
Are you concerned about bouncing 'damage' to the bike chainrings that sit on bottom of rack?
No because the chainrings are not sitting directly on anything. The bikes have a "foot" that is welded to the frame that contacts the ground in the front.
Will the grill covers fit over the baskets. The link for them please.
The grill covers won't fit over the basket completely since fully assembled it is 60" wide and the covers are onlly 48" wide. Here is a link so you can get all the measurements: amzn.to/3K9xsPf
Where did you put your spare tire.
What kind of electric bikes do you have?
Here is a link to what we've got: lectricebikes.com?aff=3
What about the spare tire?
mount turbine to the metal awning post
Hey guys what have you been up to?
What did you do with spare tire
I explained this in the video, it's in the back of the truck now in a spot that it takes up very little extra room.
Why not use a bike rack?
I'm in the same boat. The bike racks are not recommended for TT.
Because a bike rack would be so tall that it would partially block out our view from the big back window. This way our window is unobscured and we don't have to stare out at two bicycles all the time. The low profile of this cargo carrier was better for us.
@@FateUnbound Gotcha. Thanks for the reply.
@@livinginddworld1188 Because it affects the weight distribution and could cause severe sway having that much weight on the back.
Most normal bike racks aren't rated for enough weight to carry e-bikes. Of those that can hold e-bikes very few don't say "Not approved for use on RVs." I found a few that are approved for use with hitch receivers of 5th wheels and motor homes, but not travel trailers. My Hollywood Racks RV Rider finally arrived from Etrailer today. It had been on back order since July.
too much weight on back of trailer causes side sway.
David's a mechanical engineer, so I presume he's thought of the weight and balance implications.
I once mistakenly loaded a 6x12 cargo trailer with a lot of the heaviest stuff behind the axle, and the tail did wag the dog (a light 98 S-10 standard cab pickup) on a highway for a very scary 20 seconds or so, because retaining control was borderline impossible, braking or downshifting was out of the question (jackknife and flip) and it took seemingly an eternity for air resistance to slow me down and lessen the oscillations. It didn't happen until probably an hour on the highway. Bumpy pavement-segment gaps on a tight curve (due to an urban section of interstate) likely triggered it. It's possible I under or overcorrected the initial and surprising yank/yaw on the truck, though I think I handled it pretty smoothly all things considered.
I'd at least want to verify that the tongue weight is still positive! A serious change in tongue weight even short of popping a wheelie, should be obvious the first time they unhitch. Things can go south in a hurry when there's no tongue weight, or it's lightening the traction on the truck's rear wheels.
Weighing the force on the hitch ball, or comparing photos of the truck's rear wheel wells before and after the change, would be a good idea. Luckily, I think they have extra weight hanging off the front also, having increased the size of their propane tanks. And they probably lightened the rear end of the interior when they removed all sorts of built-in furniture and replaced it with the simple desk surface. Or is that at the front? I forget.
