Hitch Cargo Carriers

[pDubs]

As far as they know I bought down the street from the park. But that article seems pretty vague. Something about quarantine regions. Honestly though, 36 years of camping and bringing our own wood here in Texas and never once have been asked about where it came from.

It's like 101 to never bring firewood not from the area, into the area.

Anyways

I have the Kuat Pivot, which I mainly use for my bike rack on the 4runner, that I also pair up with the hitch carrier. Works well to unlatch and swing the entire bike rack or carrier out. For those with dogs, or who want access to the trunk without the carrier in the way, Check out the Kuat Pivot. It does add about 10 inches of length to whatever you are putting in the hitch though.

I'd probably scrub the post about transporting firewood.

Different states different rules.

Your in Virginia and the Great Smokey Mountains National park is not in Texas. I'll leave it there and stop beating the dead horse.

It's actually pretty much illegal to move firewood in every state. Some are just more serious about enforcing it.

Most places it's local up to 20 miles.

The link you provided only talks about moving wood from quarantined areas. Which according to the link you posted is only Harrison county. I dont live there either. Kinda funny how a thread about hitch baskets turn to wood transportation moan fest. Sorry OP

Anybody get running a hitch cargo carrier for extra gear?..

The carriers are very handy. What class hitch do you have? I, II, III.
The Tongue Weight Capacity of hitch is something to consider when loading it up.

I got mine on Amazon for like $40. Loaded it up with wood and drove 3hrs to go camping with zero issues. Thinking about drilling new holes to move it closer to the hitch like [MENTION=107760]salong53[/MENTION] said he did.

I never saw a need for one of these till I saw this picture!!!! my biggest complaint of camping was hauling wood! this literally is the best idea ever

No idea. It's a 5th gen, 2018. Still haven't decided if I'm going to go 48" or 60" wide.

If tow capacity is 5k pounds it's class 3 most of time.

What is that model for that $$$? - @Soneill

Hey [MENTION=153970]Soneill[/MENTION]
What model did you get?
That is EXACTLY what I need it for (no rules where I am in CO to move wood I took down in my yard to the spot I am camping).

I need it within 2 days so lest I find a store with it (NOT a fan of HF)- I have to Amazon it. I have a shot spine and firewood on my roof is a nightmare.

THANKS anyone that can suggest what that model is at that low price.

COS

Was it this? I can have it b4 I leave. Cheap and fine for the little I'd use it.

Meh- I found this and more at Walmart so no big deal. I suspect aluminum is the way to go for me since I sleep in the back and I need to take that carrier off when I get to basecamp. Thx
