I found the PVC instruction somewhere but since it is way buried somewhere in this thread here is is TTT: I created an internal skeleton frame to keep the bag semi-rigid, works very well. I assembled it in two halves outside, then put in bag with some help and joined the two halves. Since the joints add about 1/2" at each end, my cuts were 6x22" (vertical pieces), 6x16 (horizontal pieces), and 8x27.5" for length. raw materials: (around $12) 4x 10-ft 1/2 PVC 8x 3-way 90-degree elbow for corners 4x T-shaped adapters for middle 4x end caps w/ threaded end (these will be added to the 4 tee pieces to make a 4-way elbow thingy for the middle. cutting/assembly - First two 10-foot pieces, I cut 3 x 22" 3 x 16" for each 10-foot pole (gives you the 6 & 6). - Second two 10-foot pieces I cut 4x27.5" each, giving you 8 length pieces. (I started with 28" but had to shorten to make it in the bag) - for the 4 middle T-shaped pieces, I drilled hole in the middle of it just a bit smaller than the threaded end cap to make a 4-way elbow (home depot didn't have a piece of this shape).
For the internal frame, to support the middle, cut a length of PVC pipe with scalloped ends that will snap between the middle parts. You can then pop it out to load but it will give some strength when strapping it down.
You're the first one to talk about that hitch tightener. I was wondering how to avoid my future setup to rock and making noise when empty. Great review!!!
Awesome video! Those hitch baskets are super handy. Since it always seemed to rain when that thing was back there on vacation loaded with crap, I installed a small trailer light set just to make sure people would see it.
My Reese Cargo Bag with the frame held up wonderfully over a three day drive of 2,000 miles while we relocated. One additional further. I added a ratchet tie down strap. It helped and also was a minor deterrent to curious folks that walk by when parked at a hotel, restaurant etc.
Tom's Turbo Garage Bright Yellow as a visual aid to drivers behind me. Also, since I got the hauler with liftable gates on each side I added a few of these on the rails HME Orange 3" Reflective Trail Markers
That's crazy, I live about 1 mile from curt manufacturing. Nice to see products that seem to fit well made in my town. I didn't know they were good for putting kids in on road trips. Something to keep in mind. Lol.
Cool! Very pleased with all of their products, priced very reasonably and the quality/fit were perfect. I probably would’ve bought their cargo bag too, but I didn’t realize they had one.
Yes, I was delighted to find one Curt made for my 2000 Toyota Echo. It went on easily and it's quite sturdy. They're definitely on my list when I go hunting for a carrier.
Don't forget to relocate your license plate to the back of the cargo carrier. The box on mine blocked the plates and I got got by Highway patrol once. I added a lighted license plate carrier and it works great!
Great video! I've installed three Curt hitches on my cars, and while they are nice, they do rust quickly. I even gave the most recent one a coat of black spray paint before I installed it, and it just rusted from the inside out in a couple years. They're probably rusty before Curt even coats them.
Extremely helpful video, beautifully produced, great sound and video. Great place for simple boxy luggage to free up real space for legs and snacks! California here we come!
I would love to know how your carrier has held up over the years. There are a lot of reviews online complaining about the frame bending and sagging under a load much less than the advertised 500 lbs. Who knows how many are real, fake or for totally different products.
Good vid! Getting one for my 4 Runner. I agree the frame should come with the bag but if you don’t have a full load securing is easier without the frame
If i was keeping it on the vehicle, i would use nut and bolt than the locking pin,i've seen these carrier over in the UK they've all ways been on 4X4s suv were there is little room in the back for luggage they seem a great tool. :-)
Can't afford a real performance car as a broke 18 year old so I've been making my van into the ultimate party van! I have a 12 inch sub I'm waiting to put in till I get new door speakers as well.
Congratulations man, that sounds like 10x more fun than 18 year old me spending every tiny paycheck trying to make my goofball junk car fast. Enjoy your van, don’t let anyone tell you it isn’t awesome!
Thanks for the encouraging words man. Whenever I tell people I got a van they usually laugh it off so it's cool to see some positivity! Best wishes man can't wait for more content (maybe a track day in thunderbolt?)
In accordance with tradition your hitch bar needs to have red reflective tape along it with a soccer Mom "The front of your car ends here!" tailgater warning sticker on the bumper. ;-)
Tom hey, when listening with headphones, during the parts where the cam is "first person", I often hear mainly from the left speaker. When the camera is on bipod, it's all fine.
I followed this step by step, and now I have a carrier on the back of my Jeep. However, I cheated on the bag. I bought a patio storage box, one of the ones for supplies, and mounted it to my carrier. Before I put the storage box together though, since I drilled holes in it for mounting, I coated the inside with rhino lining and made ir water proof again. Then I vinyl wrapped the outside in that silver stuff that looks like a toolbox, and it looks like I’m lugging my tools everywhere with me, when it’s not, but it is my storage chest. It’s got a 150 gallon capacity, if that tells you the size. It’s so secure that it doesn’t even need to be ratcheted down at all, but I do it anywhere for my own peace of mind
What about if you secure the bag onto the carrier tray just in case you're on a bumpy road with pot holes and the whole bag jumps right out of the tray? The only little flaw if you will that I can see. Great job looks awesome.
Looks like the bag covers your license plate and and part of the rear lights, is that legal? Here in gerrmany these kind of racks usually have a second set of lights and a license plate.
That's a very interesting storage solution, although I'm pretty sure it's super illegal here in the EU. At least here in Portugal, AFAIK you either install a roof rack that can't extend past the length of the car, or an actual trailer (that requires a special driving license). Fortunately you don't have any of those problems, but do you think not being able to see the end of the rack on the rear view mirrors and having the lights partially blocked by the cargo bag to be an issue for you? Best of luck for your road trip, cheers!
How does that cargo carrier affect your mpg? Looking to install either a hitch carrier or roof box but not sure which will be the better option for a road trip.
Each would probably have their own advantage(s). A rooftop carrier means that the length of the vehicle is not changed, you can still maneuver as usual and park in the usual parking spots (unless there's a height restriction). But you can also be sure to get bad handling characteristics because your center of gravity is now up higher (esp. if you load it heavy) and you have more wind drag. On the other hand the hitch carrier is going to make the vehicle (obviously longer), and this may cause parking problems. I'd worry about people behind me not being able to see my brake lights and turning signal lights with the rain box. On the other hand since it's not on top of the vehicle your center of gravity does not change, but, with a heavy load in the back it may begin to see-saw your front end or make the rear sag in a way where you may want to get helper springs (or airbags, etc.). Going up and down steep hills may cause your hitch carrier to drag or even bend ... this is not a problem with a rooftop carrier. Just my $0.02.
I'm not sure if this has been noted at all but most tow bars have a vertical capacity limit. The two cars I've owned have both been 90kg's. The towing capacity has been 1500kg's. It might be an idea to just double check :)
Could a bike rack be added onto the basket? So you could have the basket and haul bikes at the same time? The basket appears to have a 2 inch pipe straight through that could receive a bike rack
Have you ever scraped the metal cargo basket when you get out of gas stations? I have scraped so many time getting out of the gas stations. I have a 2016 Honda Odyssey elite. Another problem I have is when the parking sensors are on it will keep beeping.
Loved the video! I just got a hitch cargo carrier & was scared to put it together till I watched this video! But I am looking around to find this 'PB Grease' you talk about. Where do you find it? Or what does it look like? Thanks for the video Tons of help!
Thank you and glad I could help! You don’t have to use that specific kind of grease, any light grease will do to keep things from rusting and seizing up. You can find some at Walmart or similar stores. Good luck and our family loves this setup, it has helped us so much on our road trips! 😀👍🏻
Just one thing: with the rain box the tail lights etc. might be obscured; would it not be a good idea to have an extra pair of lights on the Curt metal cage?
The problem I see with this is storing stuff of value in that bag doesn't keep it safe from thieves. My friends just put one of those bags on their roof and while in CO on a trip someone came by and cut the bag off and stole everything from them.
Hello, How are you planning to add a bike rack? I have a VW Tiguan. My 5 year old and I go camping. would like to start taking our bikes to the campground. I do have a hitch on my car however had to return the cargo carrier due to exhaust heat melting the stuff on the cargo. (now I learn I need a two inch raise extender) any ideas?
Hi there, the bike rack plugs into the hitch, here is one on Amazon, they have a variety of different styles on there. Hope this helps and good luck! www.amazon.com/Allen-Sports-Deluxe-4-Bike-Receiver/dp/B00TRTSW46
Tom I ran into the same problem last year on our 3500 mile vacation in 2013 odyssey. I was considering putting a rear cargo rack also but was concerned that the van would need over load shocks since mine was heavily squatted in the rear. Let me know your thoughts or what you discover on yours. Thanks
When you're popping those plastic plug fixings out you don't have to use a screwdriver - you can get a tool for it - it's just like a pry bar with a notched end so it spreads the levering load around the 'stalk' instead of all on one side like you get with a screwdriver - they're no more expensive than a screwdriver and save many (but sadly not all) broken pegs!
how far away is ur bag from the exhaust and did you have problem with the bag melting? I was reading online reviews for a lot of bags and everyone mentions that exhaust heat melts the bag.
The taillights are still visible in person, the license plate is partially blocked. I thought about making a little bracket to mount it higher when this is in place.
I have a 95 GST without the turbo so makes it a GS I seen your video on the Eagle Talent my car is in desperate need the turbo was taking him off and I'm pretty sure it had a engine swap so it is now a 420a can you give me any advice on what to do I am very new to Imports
I think a practical modification would be to add a couple heavy duty casters to one side and a minimal handle to the other so you and your wife can lift it off the hitch, then you can just roll it into a safe space once at your destination and free up the hassle of parking with it. The folding mechanism then is used to get the bar out of the way.
You drove that minivan all the way to Antarctica? That's quite the odyssey

Since the joints add about 1/2" at each end, my cuts were 6x22" (vertical pieces), 6x16 (horizontal pieces), and 8x27.5" for length.
raw materials: (around $12)
4x 10-ft 1/2 PVC
8x 3-way 90-degree elbow for corners
4x T-shaped adapters for middle
4x end caps w/ threaded end (these will be added to the 4 tee pieces to make a 4-way elbow thingy for the middle.
cutting/assembly
- First two 10-foot pieces, I cut 3 x 22" 3 x 16" for each 10-foot pole (gives you the 6 & 6).
- Second two 10-foot pieces I cut 4x27.5" each, giving you 8 length pieces. (I started with 28" but had to shorten to make it in the bag)

The attention to detail on this channel is second to none. Can't wait to see your next project Tom.
One moment you say you would love a helper/boddy and next thing you know there is someone passing you bolts!
Awesome video.
Haha! Thank you sir! Her version of help is always entertaining! :-D
For the internal frame, to support the middle, cut a length of PVC pipe with scalloped ends that will snap between the middle parts. You can then pop it out to load but it will give some strength when strapping it down.
Great idea! Thanks for that, I’ll do it this weekend.
Can you add a picture to see what you're talkin about scalloped ends please
You're the first one to talk about that hitch tightener. I was wondering how to avoid my future setup to rock and making noise when empty. Great review!!!
Awesome video! Those hitch baskets are super handy. Since it always seemed to rain when that thing was back there on vacation loaded with crap, I installed a small trailer light set just to make sure people would see it.
Thank you Scott! The trailer light is an excellent idea, gonna have to do that before our trip for sure.
My Reese Cargo Bag with the frame held up wonderfully over a three day drive of 2,000 miles while we relocated. One additional further.
I added a ratchet tie down strap. It helped and also was a minor deterrent to curious folks that walk by when parked at a hotel, restaurant etc.
Nice! Thanks for sharing and glad to hear it. Good tip with the ratchet strap. 👍🏻

Very good to know, I did hear this in the comments. I'll keep an eye on it.
I've had my Curt hitch on my 2014 Oddy for 5 years now.It looks like the day it was installed, with 90k on the van.
bare metal rusts in mere hours, normally you dip it in stripper before coating it black
Cargo baskets are also great for carrying a spare set of wheels & tires
Definitely!
Extremely helpful video, beautifully produced, great sound and video. Great place for simple boxy luggage to free up real space for legs and snacks! California here we come!
Tom is an international treasure
Haha! Thank you for the kind words sir!
No worries. :D Thanks for years of entertainment and cool learning experience.
Just a tip tom, those torque converters can judder if trans is not serviced every 30k.
Good to know sir, thanks!
You have a helper xD. Mike usualy perfektly done.
Grade 8 hardware and green lok-tite works great!
You did have a mighty helper...
Can you link to the video on how to build the PVC structure for the bag?
Do you guys have any laws regarding the coverege of ligths and licensplate?
Here in denmark, its illegal.
Put your rear license plate in the back window so it can be seen when its covered like that.
I'm sure you've already figured this out, but those cargo carriers really impact your departure angle. Be careful on all those hills you have!
Thanks Joe, that’s very true and thanks for the reminder sir! 👍🏻
I would love to know how your carrier has held up over the years. There are a lot of reviews online complaining about the frame bending and sagging under a load much less than the advertised 500 lbs. Who knows how many are real, fake or for totally different products.
you need to put an additional licence plate on the back of that thing- or maybe not- US-laws don't even try to make sens when it comes to cars
You can see the plate from the side.
what are the measurements for the bag? I'm thinking of building one of those :D
Good vid! Getting one for my 4 Runner. I agree the frame should come with the bag but if you don’t have a full load securing is easier without the frame
I'd be putting lights on the back of it, and a registration plate. The police love to get all high-and-mighty with this sort of thing.
Lots of guys here carry motorbikes in a similar way. They just Bungy-cord attach a "boat board" with lights and plate on the back
If i was keeping it on the vehicle, i would use nut and bolt than the locking pin,i've seen these carrier over in the UK they've all ways been on 4X4s suv were there is little room in the back for luggage they seem a great tool. :-)
Thank you for the tip sir!

Did you need the center supports you had left out on your frame. Was there enough support without it?
In accordance with tradition your hitch bar needs to have red reflective tape along it with a soccer Mom "The front of your car ends here!" tailgater warning sticker on the bumper. ;-)
I'll get right on it sir! :-D
Thanks for the product review and install. You could haul some 16 foot boards with the back door open.
Tom hey, when listening with headphones, during the parts where the cam is "first person", I often hear mainly from the left speaker. When the camera is on bipod, it's all fine.
@11:06 as an example, @11:22 too
That was quite the trip.
Haha! No doubt! 👍🏻
A road trip in to the south pole would take a really long time, and would be very cold, and wet! lol
I followed this step by step, and now I have a carrier on the back of my Jeep. However, I cheated on the bag. I bought a patio storage box, one of the ones for supplies, and mounted it to my carrier.

Please post pictures and thank you
That PVC frame is brilliant!
Any thoughts on light and licence plate visibility from the back?
very nicely done as always
Thank you sir!
when you said " time to go on to the next project" I thought this honda will get some sick turbos..
LOL, love the Japanese plate. thanks for the great video Tom!
Haha! Thanks Jerry!
What about if you secure the bag onto the carrier tray just in case you're on a bumpy road with pot holes and the whole bag jumps right out of the tray? The only little flaw if you will that I can see. Great job looks awesome.
He talked about the straps that hold the bag to the carrier, just didn't show using them.
Thanks fellas, yes there are straps included.
first time here, cool car collection!
Well, that will be ideal if you take the van to drag week.
You don't need a lift... But it helps
Looks like the bag covers your license plate and and part of the rear lights, is that legal?

Thank you Andre! Yes, it's kind of a free-for-all, anything goes kind of situation over here! :-O
But then again, in the EU breathing over your daily alloted amount of oxygen is illegal.

The only problem with a rooftop carrier is you can't open the sunroof! 😞
I have the same tray. I like it but I had to shorten the small bolts so they wouldn't extend into the cargo area and damage my gear.
Ahh, good to know!
U should do like the boosted boiz, and boost that Odyssey. Get the family to the vacation point in a hurry, lol...
If you added a bike rack to the carrier, can you send us a pic and details of that...
Could we get stop by police,for covering the rear plate?.
Am I the only one thinking about loctite ... How often to you remove your entire hitch 😑👏😂
shouldn't need it with proper torqued bolts. You would only need it with anything that suffers from high vibration.
I'm not sure if this has been noted at all but most tow bars have a vertical capacity limit.
The two cars I've owned have both been 90kg's.
The towing capacity has been 1500kg's.
It might be an idea to just double check :)
Thank you for the heads up!
@@TomsTurboGarage no problem.
Will also come in handy if you do another motor swap😉.
Thanks for helping
Can I open the back door if the bag is 60”*24*24? I’m looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks
You're so creative wow. Thanks
very nice man. I need one.
Could a bike rack be added onto the basket? So you could have the basket and haul bikes at the same time? The basket appears to have a 2 inch pipe straight through that could receive a bike rack
Hi@Tom's Turbo Garage, great channel,! I have 2020 Kia Rio HATCHBACK, do you think I can get this done somewhere?
Great video,Tom. I thought you were buying micro cars so they all fit in the garage. Galant is outside 🤨
Have you ever scraped the metal cargo basket when you get out of gas stations? I have scraped so many time getting out of the gas stations. I have a 2016 Honda Odyssey elite. Another problem I have is when the parking sensors are on it will keep beeping.
Great video! Where are the frame directions posted?
You got rid of the Mazda MPV?
Yes, gave it to a family member a couple years ago. I miss it dearly, but it’s still running like a champ.
Good guy Tom 🤙🏻 love your vids man
@Tomsturbogarage Great video. Just curious when you stay overnight did you bring the bag with you or leave it on the cargo carrier? Thank you.
Loved the video! I just got a hitch cargo carrier & was scared to put it together till I watched this video! But I am looking around to find this 'PB Grease' you talk about. Where do you find it? Or what does it look like? Thanks for the video Tons of help!
Thank you and glad I could help! You don’t have to use that specific kind of grease, any light grease will do to keep things from rusting and seizing up. You can find some at Walmart or similar stores. Good luck and our family loves this setup, it has helped us so much on our road trips! 😀👍🏻
How much can you put out the back there before you're doing wheelies everywhere? Think I'd probably just get a regular trailer.
I know this is an old video. I just discovered it. So how would you recommend to strap the bag down when all said and done. Great video.
Thank you sir! The bag comes with straps that connect to the steel carrier rails. I love this setup, we use it on all of our family road trips.
Just one thing: with the rain box the tail lights etc. might be obscured; would it not be a good idea to have an extra pair of lights on the Curt metal cage?
if you strap down the bag without filling it, will the frame become a problem?
Where is this place ... defentley not in.Texas ??
Once the cargo carrier is in the receiver, how high off the ground is the bottom of the basket?
That's the largest Kei van I've ever seen!
Haha! Indeed!
I like it! Thank you !
Great video.. idea of "can put two kids in it" .. :) LoL...
The problem I see with this is storing stuff of value in that bag doesn't keep it safe from thieves. My friends just put one of those bags on their roof and while in CO on a trip someone came by and cut the bag off and stole everything from them.
Hello, How are you planning to add a bike rack? I have a VW Tiguan. My 5 year old and I go camping. would like to start taking our bikes to the campground. I do have a hitch on my car however had to return the cargo carrier due to exhaust heat melting the stuff on the cargo. (now I learn I need a two inch raise extender) any ideas?
Hi there, the bike rack plugs into the hitch, here is one on Amazon, they have a variety of different styles on there. Hope this helps and good luck! www.amazon.com/Allen-Sports-Deluxe-4-Bike-Receiver/dp/B00TRTSW46
Do you hear it rattle when you drive?
So how long does it take before you forget you have that back there and you back into something?
Probably about 12 minutes. 😀
Hi Tom, did you by chance take measurements on your PVC cuts when you built the frame for the Reese cargo bag?
Did the hitch pin lock and hitch tightener come with either product?
Great Job. I Loved it ....
Tom I ran into the same problem last year on our 3500 mile vacation in 2013 odyssey. I was considering putting a rear cargo rack also but was concerned that the van would need over load shocks since mine was heavily squatted in the rear. Let me know your thoughts or what you discover on yours. Thanks
How do you access the tail gate
When you're popping those plastic plug fixings out you don't have to use a screwdriver - you can get a tool for it - it's just like a pry bar with a notched end so it spreads the levering load around the 'stalk' instead of all on one side like you get with a screwdriver - they're no more expensive than a screwdriver and save many (but sadly not all) broken pegs!
Link for the PVC set up for the Reese bag ? Thanks
Where are the coveralls?!?
Too dang hot for them! They'll return soon!
I guess helper eventually arrived ;-)
Haha! Yeah, she helps on her terms!
how far away is ur bag from the exhaust and did you have problem with the bag melting? I was reading online reviews for a lot of bags and everyone mentions that exhaust heat melts the bag.
So is that a metric or imperial adjustable wrench?
Any concerns about exhaust heat melting/warping the bag?
Should sit close to the van but awesome and practical.
Wouldn't be able to open the hatch if it was closer.
Did you do the bike rack project?
What about ODESSY spark plugs changing, is it difficult?
By the way, I love your vids 2 much..
Thank you for the kind words, I haven't had to change spark plugs yet, but I'm sure it's a big job!
With the cargo tray bag, is that legal when covering the license plate and making the tail light hard to see from certain angles...?
The taillights are still visible in person, the license plate is partially blocked. I thought about making a little bracket to mount it higher when this is in place.
I have a 95 GST without the turbo so makes it a GS I seen your video on the Eagle Talent my car is in desperate need the turbo was taking him off and I'm pretty sure it had a engine swap so it is now a 420a can you give me any advice on what to do I am very new to Imports
How does the bag attach to the carrier?
I think a practical modification would be to add a couple heavy duty casters to one side and a minimal handle to the other so you and your wife can lift it off the hitch, then you can just roll it into a safe space once at your destination and free up the hassle of parking with it. The folding mechanism then is used to get the bar out of the way.
I like it!
Another amazing video Tom!! Love it, even though it's not your usual content!! Hey do you still have the Buick? I'm dying to see new Buick Vids.
Thank you sir, I appreciate the kind words! No, I sold the Grand National. :-( Always on the hunt for a possible replacement though!
Nooooo, not the grand national 😭😭😭
By the way Tom, thanks for those vids, I did some mods watching your videos, like porting the Dog house
Pretty cool but when are you going to turbo it?
Definitely tomorrow :-D
Should this nit have a "contains paid promotion" disclaimer?
Hmmm... feel like me some Blaster Grease... dang !
