I am getting ready for our vacation when school lets out. We are driving to Yellowstone ect. Put an Undercover hard tonneau on last week and also bought a Drawtite receiver rack for Ice chest and things.

The 2" tube on the rack is made with thin wall tubing which causes slack when it is installed in the receiver. It is rated for 500 lbs.

This was a let down. I thought Drawtite made "good stuff".

Any suggestions to better secure the rack. I have seen these "anti-rattle hitch pins that put pressure on the hitch.

Then again, I may just return it and buy a better one.

I have one just like yours, I use it on my front hitch when I have the camper on, I put my generator and firewood on it, with all that stuff on it it doesnt move much if any, so there probably isnt much to worry about unless you dont have that much weight on yours. I have seen the stabilizers but they looked pretty cheesy, I dont think it is worth it, but you could give it a try. -Jeff

The one I have has a 6" tall rail around it with cut outs for a tail light kit.

I don't know how far away from Granbury, Tx you are but it might be worth the trip. Steve Edwards has a welding shop (EWS Welding Service) that makes receiver hitch baskets that are hell for stout. If you want to put a receiver hitch on the back of your motorhome or camper in this part of the country, Steve is the one to call. I bought a small raised generator tray from him to put on my 5ver and was impressed with the gauage of the material and the quality of his work. In addition, I don't think I could have built it myself for what he charged!

Steve is a great guy to visit with. I ended up chatting with him for a couple of hours when I went down to pick my tray up.
