Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I just finished a 2400 mile round trip with my Stowaway2 Max and it worked beautifully. This replaced a soft-sided rooftop cargo carrier for our family mini-van and I am very pleased.
Pros:
1) The swinging action is smooth and easy with a pin that allows the unit to be locked on the "open" position.
2) Large capacity. I was surprised that it held so much. It easily doubled my carrying capacity.
3) Love the cargo rack and bike rack versatility.
4) Working taillights and blinkers.
5) Fits standard hitches and I can swap between my van and truck easily
6) Build quality is quite good. The swing arm is steel, the carrier is heavy duty plastic. Barring an accident or misuse I can't see this thing wearing out in my lifetime.
7) Made in the USA
8) The Locking hitch pin is a nice addition
Cons (really minor stuff, but enough to give it 4 versus 5 stars):
1) Could use a tad more clearance for my van's rear door/ As it is the unit has to be "just so" and scrapes the carrier when opening/closing. Nothing dramatic or damaging, just a nuisance.
2) Not completely waterproof. That said I was in some VERY heavy rain down south and the amount of water in the unit was negligible. A nuisance really, just wouldn't store electronics back there.
3) Its heavy (not really a bad thing) but it will take 2 people to load and unload (I'm 6'2" and 250lbs and it is simply awkward). It is worth the extra $30 for the little wheels you can add to the bottom to roll the unit around.
4) NOt visible from drivers position (at least in my van) making parking a bit tough. I am thinking of trying an add some flags to mine.
5) Its expensive. After shipping and everything its close to $1000 plus the cost of a hitch. That is a fair chunk of change for added storage space.
