Classes 3, 4 and 5 can accommodate loads up to 10,000 lbs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nPlus, installing a trailer hitch is easier than you think. Just make sure you\u2019ve got plenty of space to work in, that you\u2019re mounting the hitch to your vehicle\u2019s chassis, that your ride is in park with the parking brake engaged and that your wheels are blocked to prevent any rolling. And double check that all electrical connections for any brake lights and turn signals are in place and that they work before you put the car back in drive.<\/p>\n
2. Up on the Roof Rack<\/h2>\n
When your interior and trunk\/cargo space all come at a premium\u2014and your vehicle\u2019s already packed to the gills\u2014stow your gear up top. Just do it safely with a quality base rack system. Also known as roof racks, they\u2019re ideal for stowing all kinds of cargo on top of your vehicle, ensuring you\u2019ve got safe spots to strap down your goods and not dent up your roof in the process. Follow the installation instructions carefully and get on the go with your gear on lockdown.<\/p>\n
3. Carry Extra Cargo Like a Pro<\/h2>\n
Even the most beastly SUVs get tight inside when kids, luggage and coolers start cramping up space. So, where should you fit the rest of your camping gear? In a cargo carrier, of course! From steel baskets to ABS boxes and even nylon reinforced bags, rooftop cargo carriers are a must when everyone could use extra leg room. Just make sure your cargo carrier is secured on a base rack system and that it\u2019s latched so that brand new fishing pole doesn\u2019t end up a hood ornament in the grill of the poor driver behind you.<\/p>\n
