Cargo Carrier
Anybody use a cargo carrier for their Pleasure Way Class B? Is so what's the best one? I want to be able to access my rear door without having to dissemble the whole thing. Thanks Jack

Hi Davyyd.
Yes. I am going to keep the inside load well under 150 as the total allowable is 300.About 120 or so should be ok. I have 60 psi in my rear airbags and 80 rear and 55 front to keep it from oversteering.It is a big unit but we need the cu ft space especially for my Lexus Lite scooter and gazebo. I couldnt fit my scooter(52 lbs),folded up in the smaller cargo carrier. We upended the unit today in the garage and folded out the landing gear, then uprighted it again. WHen we get a chance I have to back the Plateau up to the garage door and wheel the unit in close to plug it into the hitch(Cat III). Thanks for letting me know about your experience with your former Pleasureway unit. I had thought about the extra weight on the rear but,in the end(small pun) it would have been stored inside the MH anyway in the couch area. We will back the Gearspace off the hitch when not needed for a trip and when located down South(AZ or Palm Springs) this winter. The gazebo will be located just outside the sliding door to afford increased living space--a sort of family room extension due to limited living space inside. My only suggestion for the manufacturer is to install at least one wheel lock so the unit doesnt roll all over the place in our garage.Otherwise, it is an excellent looking unit if it will stay on the back of our motorhome(hopefully).
PS: I enjoy your comments and have read a lot of them going way back on the B blogs etc. Of course, I used to travel to Minneapolis from WInnipeg when I was young and loved the city.
