• Recommendation For Hauling Two Mobility Scooters
  While there aren't any cargo carriers that would fit two mobility scooters or even be able to handle the weight of two, you do still have the option of using a trailer like the Detail K2 Mighty Multi Utility Trailer # K2MMT4X6. The loading gate isn't the best for a mobility scooter so I recommend getting some loading ramps # 288-07474-2 as well. You can use some tie-down straps like # EM04418 to secure your scooters to the trailer.

• Are All Hitch Cargo Carriers Ok to Use at 80MPH?
  Yes! Since cargo carriers like the 22-1/2x49 Curt Cargo Carrier - 2" Hitches - Aluminum # C18113 do not have a maximum highway speed rating, you will be safe in driving at 80mph. We have had lots of neighbors who have traveled at those speeds and never report issues. With that being said, it is important to have the proper securing methods. If you have a lot of medium-sized cargo, the Curt Stretchable Cargo Net - 43" Long x 24" Wide # C18202 works great with the # C18113; if you have larger...

• Cargo Net Divider For Interior of 2012 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter
  From what I was able to find, the interior dimensions of your 2012 Sprinter are 72" x 70". You could use a cargo net like the Gladiator # GC94FR which is 6' 9" x 8'. There will be a little extra but nothing overly excessive. It comes with 4 ratchet straps but you could add some like the # EM04418 for added security. The ratchet straps will make it easily removable when not in use. Then you would need to mount your D-rings like the # 3486554 or # 337B46 if you don't already have them....

• Ratchet Strap Recommendation that Can be Bolted Directly to the Trailer Frame
  I have an option that will work for you, but, the Erickson Ratcheting Tie-Down Straps # EM04418 were not designed to be bolted to the frame of a trailer. Instead, I would take a look at theRetractable Ratchet Straps for Thule TracRac Truck Bed Ladder Racks - Qty 2, Item # CBTH12 The ratchet of this product is designed to be bolted down.

• Recommended Cargo Carrier to Fit a Snowblower On A 2014 Jeep Wrangler
  For your 2014 Jeep Wrangler, I recommend the Flint Hill Goods 29 x 49 Cargo Carrier w/ 60" Long Ramp, # FHG69VR This carrier includes an anti-rattle device that will hold the carrier securely and remove much of the sway and noise. This carrier also has multiple connection points for securing your snow blower with ratchet straps like Erickson Re-Tractable Ratchet Straps w/ Push-Button Releases - 1" x 10' - 400 lbs - Qty 4, Item # EM04418, that can be easily used even with winter gloves...

• Tie Downs and E-Track Recommendation for Securing a BMW K1200, ATV, and Dirt Bike on a Trailer
  I would recommend using 2 sections of Horizontal E-Track, # E19148, down each side and 2 sections of Horizontal E-Track down the middle of your trailer, 6 sections in all, to give you as many tie down options as possible for securing all of your different toys. Your BMW K1200 sounds like the heaviest item you will need to tie down. I recommend using 2 packages of the Retractable Ratchet Straps, # 34414, along with 4 of the E-Track Tie-Off Rings, # 59131. Four tie down points are needed...

• What Do you Recommend for 3 Kayaks, Exterior Storage, and 12 Fishing Rods?
  I have a solution for you. For 2 of your kayaks, your fishing rods (maximum of 12), and a covered 18 cu. foot cargo box, I recommend the Malone Ultimate Angler MegaSport Trailer with Saddle Style Carriers - Fishing Rod Tubes - 1,000 lbs # MPG550-AU. The reason why you should go with a trailer as opposed to a hitch cargo carrier and a roof rack is because those options will not allow you to transport all the accessories you want to transport. The great thing about having the Angler MegaSport...

• Is There a Four Pack Of Erickson Re-Tractable Ratchet Straps w/ Push Button Release?
  It sounds like you're looking for the Erickson Retractable Ratchet Straps # EM04418. This is a quantity of four that has the same ratings as the # EM34415 you had looked at, but has a red strap instead of black. The black strap version is only available in a 2-pack like you looked at.

• Recommended Cargo Carrier For An 87lb Mobility Scooter Towed With A Toyota Sienna
  The 23x47 Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches # M2200 does have enough room to properly carry your mobility scooter based on the dimensions you provided. 22-1/2x49 Curt Cargo Carrier # C18113 is just a bit too tight to fit your scooter so I would not recommend this cargo carrier. The 24x60 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches # C18152 would also have enough space to properly carry your scooter. All of these cargo carriers have a large enough weight capacity to carry your 87lb...

• Will the Detail K2 Flip Rack Be Able to Carry a Canoe With a 2005 Nissan Titan Crew Cab
  As long as you do not go over the 500 lbs weight capacity of the Detail K2 Flip Rack Fold Down Ladder Rack, part # K2TFR150, it will be an excellent choice for you to use on your 2005 Nissan Titan Crew Cab. The K2 will hold up just fine on a 6 hour drive. I recommend using some Tie-Downs, like part # EM04418, to help secure your canoe on top of the K2.

• Will Adco Class C RV Storage Cover 290-36042 Fit 2004 Four Winds Chateau 31Z
  RV roof covers like the Adco # 290-36042 for Class Cs like your 32-1/2-foot 2004 Four Winds Chateau 31Z are made to fit a range of RV lengths but they do not take into account any added height from accessory items like wheel ramps. The cover will certainly fit and secure properly to the RV since it works on RVs up to 36-feet in length but it is possible that the anchor straps will not reach down to the ramps. It is possible you will need additional tie-downs like # EM04418 to secure the...

• Roof Rack and Tie Downs to Carry Lumber on a 2014 Nissan Juke
  What I recommend is to add some load stops to the roof rack crossbars so that you can support the load side to side and use straps to secure the lumber front to back and tie off to the load stops. First you will need a roof rack for your 2014 Nissan Juke. The most cost effective roof rack that is a true custom fit is from Inno using square bars # INB117, feet # INSUT, and fit kit # INK399. Then for load stops I recommend # TH503 because they are designed to fit Tule square bars which...

  For your LittleGiant Trailer, I recommend the D-Ring Tie-Down Anchors for C-Channels on Let's Go Aero Trailers - Bolt On - 800 lbs - Qty 4 # MMP543 and ratchet straps like the Erickson Re-Tractable Ratchet Straps w/ Push-Button Releases - 1" x 10' - 400 lbs - Qty 4 # EM04418 or CargoBuckle Ratchet Tie-Down Straps w/ S-Hooks - 1" x 15' - 500 lbs - Qty 4 # IMF12636.

• Recommended Cargo Carriers Popular With A 2012 Honda CR-V
  For your 2012 Honda CR-V, there are two different trailer hitch receiver sizes, so a couple different popular options due to that. For a 1-1/4 inch hitch receiver, the most popular is the 17x46 Curt Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" Hitches lbs # C18145. This carrier has a straight shank for greater ground clearance, but it does not have a folding feature. The sides and the metal floor provide many attachment points for tie down straps like # EM04418 or the Cargo Net 36" x 48" # CS54FR. I recommend...

• Can Erickson Ratcheted Tie-Down Ropes be Used to Secure Lumber on Roof of a 2006 Chevy Malibu Maxx
  I would not recommend a rope tie down such as # 01801 for transporting lumber on the roof of your 2006 Chevy Malibu Maxx. Using ratchet straps such as # EM04418 provides more surface area contact with the wood and you can get them tighter than # 01801. If you were to use # 01801 or something similar I would recommend putting eye bolts in the ends of each piece of wood on each side, running the rope through those, and securing the rope at the front and rear of the vehicle. Then you could...
