    Tire mount for Lippert cargo carrier.

    Does anyone know of a spare tire mounting kit that would attach to the cargo rack on the rear of my 2019 247 BHDS Surveyor? I would like to move my spare from underneath the trailer to the rear of it. I think it would be alot easier to use if needed.

    Cargo Carry Capacity?

    Hi all - the wife and I are strongly considering a 2019 FR3 30DS. We've been researching and viewing for over a year and feel like the 30DS checks the most boxes (including price). We're not new to RV'ing, and are downsizing from a 39' diesel pusher. Looking for something much smaller and more...

    Damage to Cargo Door

    We have a 2016 Sunseeker 3010DS. While getting gas a couple of days ago, we had a fight with a gas pump barrier. We lost the fight, or should I say one of our cargo doors lost the fight. I was able to find the part number and manufacturer of the door on a sticker inside the door. The doors...

    Thermometers for cargo and water bays + outside reading

    I'm new to a Berkshire MH. Been around Itascas for over 20 years. I live in the north country and leave for AZ late Dec or early Jan - sometimes real cold. I don't feel the Berkshire basement areas are heated as well as the Meridian's. I've read some of you have thermometers with multiple...

    Cargo bin door, no cargo bin

    We purchased a 2019 Coachmen Mirada 29FW. The cargo bin door on the front driver's side, just behind the front wheel, has a locked door but when you open it there is no compartment there. You can see the jack, the ground, the front suspension and other mechanical parts. There is an unmarked box...

    Any problems with 2716G low Cargo Carrying Capacity?

    After figuring out cargo carrying capacity after the weight of a battery, air conditioner, and fresh water, there's only around 100 lbs left for interior items and anything you'd put on the roof rack. Not a lot for the 2716G. You could always fill up water at the campground but some...

    Installing a cargo door for more storage

    I have a 2018 forest river Acadia. I know forest river makes this for campers inn only and all that. I have the metal siding on mine. Under the bunk beds is a very large area of wasted space. I have looked under it and it has the shore line stored and one wire going from the shore line to the...

    Xlr series cargo capacity

    I’m in the market for a toy hauler. Looking at a 27hfs. I am hoping to fit two full size harley touring bikes (roadglides) into the cargo area. Will this be a problem? Knowing what size garage i need seems to be an obstacle for me. Also I’m pretty ignorant in regards to brand quality...

    DX3 Cargo Carrying Capacity

    I understand it depends on floor plan and configuration, but was looking for an “-ish” number. I get that front axle 12k + rear 21k = 33k, but how do those axles typically load when they come off factory floor?

    Question on cargo capacity

    We recently saw a micro lite trailer that had only a 815lb cargo capacity. As in dry weight of 3,000 and gross weight of 3815. The question is, is that really for traveling, or does that include people? If we have 500 lbs of water and supplies in it and after we park, two, 250 lb people go...

    Cargo Door combo locks

    Installed combo locks on all cargo doors. These can also be opened using user set combo or the provided key. Seem to work well, except I have ordered steel cam lock mounting plates to mount inside doors. This is because the plastic insets forest river put are very easy to turn and open any cam...

    Cargo Carrier on Fifth Wheel

    I have a Forest River Signature Rockwood Lite Fifth Wheel 34'. My wife and I would like to buy a mini golf cart (Cricket or something else). Is it safe and feasible to put it on a cargo carrier on the back of the fifth wheel? Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    I have a 2018 Wildcat travel trailer, wondering if anyone has put a cargo carrier on these bumpers or does Forest River offer one. Just want to carry a bin or two. My bumper has a warning that says "addition of non- factory installed components to bumper assembly is prohibited and my void...

    Great Deal Cargo Carrier

    Northern Tool is closing out a certain hitch mounted cargo carrier they offer. It was typically around $70 I believe but in the Raleigh stores, they are $9.80. Go to Northern Tool's website and look up part 41080. It shows no longer available but in stores, they're dirt cheap. For a camper...

    Front Cargo Door Design Issue

    DH & I were taking our Silverback 29RE to the storage facility with our new Ford F350 long bed. After hooking up, I noticed that we'd neglected to close the front cargo bay. Doh! Well, one can't close (nor open!) that bay when hooked up. Not an issue, you say? That's where the spare tires are...

    Cargo Door Sealant?

    The bead of seal between the inside of my Rockwood cargo door and the aluminum trim has cracked on one of the doors. It is a white sealant, hardened and a tad tacky. What do I need to fix?
