Here's another hitch mounted cargo carrier: Thule Transporter

I've seen a picture of one on a Navion/View, and it seems to fit well behind the spare tire. It also has lights and a license plate mount. If you really need the space.

We just downsized, and were wondering where we'd put everything from the old rig. We looked at our master lists, and crossed off items we hadn't used during the last two trips. Then it got a LOT easier.


Dave, like the new siggy!

Berticus.....Here's something I did when I had a Class C. If you look under the left and right rear of the coach, near the bumper, you'll probably find some dead area between the outer wall of the coach and the frame. Mine was big enough to put a large plastic container there. The container I used with a 3' x 2' black plastic concrete mixing box. It sits on the ground and is used to mix concrete. They're available at Home Depot and Lowes. I added some hinges to the bcak side and mounted it to the underside of the coach floor near the frame. I put a pull strap on the other side near the outer wall of the coach. I could tip it down and place my outdoor rugs inside. I then pulled the strap to raise it and secured the strap. It worked great for 14 years and was not visible from the side of the coach.


You just have to look around and under for areas and utilize them.

If you pull a toad - you have 400-600 lb of storage right behind your RV-I also have a roof carrier on the toad filled with towels ,socks,books,pot holders etc.

I'm more concerned with the added weight than having more stuff. I have found that less is really more. Every spring I cross off more stuff as I found I really didn't need it after all. It's easy to overload a class C coach.
