Title: receiver hitch cargo rack
Post by: JerryP on September 26, 2015, 02:07 AM
I made a cargo rack to put on the Chieftain today.
My welder broke, before I finished, so I had to resort to the Big Lincoln stick machine. Not the best machine for the job, but I wanted to finish it up today, so I can use out tomorrow to haul the stuff for the Dane rescue to the Rescue event tomorrow.
Once I get the mig welder fixed, I will go back and make it pretty.
It holds 30" by 60" tables, a couple of bins, several chairs, canopy and the wagon to off load it, and get it to the spot.
Hauling it around inside the RV is a pain, and crowded with the Danes, this should be much easier

I'm glad to see that you put gussets on there to keep it from being as wobbly. If it does wobble, try putting the gussets further out but I know how hard material is to come by sometimes.

Went to a dog rescue event, and the rack did its job with a pretty heavy load.
RV to dog events is definitely the way to go.
I have plenty of steel hanging on the wall, to modify as needed.
Thinking either it gets some wheels, or I put a wagon ramp on it.
Took this picture quick, While I was grabbing some stuff out of it, after I got home, so it was not tied down like this in transit.
