    Hitch Ski Carrier on a Swingaway Frame

    Introducing the StowAway Hitch mounted Ski Carrier for transporting skis, surfboards and commercial gear. The Ski Carrier addresses a common problem experienced with door mounted carriers, namely structural damage to the rear door of the shuttle van, and the resulting repairs.

    The StowAway Ski Carrier is mounted to a swingaway frame that slides into a 2" hitch receiver. The carrier will transport up to 200 lbs of gear while allowing clear access to the back of the van for gear inside. The compact design will allow the van's right rear door to be opened with the carrier in the closed position and the left rear door to be opened when the carrier is swung open to 90 degrees. In the open position you will have  access to both sides of the van's cargo area.

    Manufactured in the USA with heavy duty steel tubing, the Ski Carrier is powder coated to inhibit corrosion. The carrier will fit a 2" hitch receiver and includes a hitch tightener to prevent hitch wobble.

    Pros:
    • Very sturdy and relatively easy extend
    Cons:
    • Difficult installation. Bad bungee
    <p>Wonderful product which works amazingly well. Installation is not quite as simple as described, but once on, it seems bulletproof. Can fit up to four of the huge plastic ski tubes in one carrier. The only complaint is that the bungee cord to secure the skis seems like a poorly thought addition. I lose them all the time, and there is no place really to carry them on the carrier when they are not being used. Lastly, they are less secure than an actual cable or strap that could be put in their place. Don't let that stop you from buying this carrier. It is overall fantastic.</p><p><b><br>Response from StowAway Carriers:</b> Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for your feedback.</p>

    The device is well made and was easy to assemble and use. We use it on a Toyota Highlander at a vacation ski home for shuttling guests to and from the airport. With the swing-away feature one can open the tailgate.

    It is heavy and ordinarily would take two people to mount/remove. I actually made a custom rolling support for it using a furniture dolly as a base that holds it at the desired height, so I can mount/remove by myself.

    Needed a ski carrier solution for Winnebago Revel. No room on the roof, so needed hitch mount solution. Other hitch mount platforms are far less expensive, but reviews indicate they are also less bomber in build. We combined this with Sportube hard ski cases to protect against road grime. Functionality of this rack with our van is great. This rack is a bomber build...justifying the extra cost. Elegant solution that allows us to open the back doors with simple pull of pins. Very happy with both the design and build of this product.
