Howdy folks. I just got a 2007 24' Tioga class C motor home. I used to pull a 1976 Aristocrat Low Liner and loved it, but I've finally moved on up. I have a question I hope I can get some feedback on. I'd like to know the pros and cons of the cargo carriers that slide into the hitch receiver. I've found one on line that says it's rated to 500 lbs. The reason I'm interested in one of these is because we like to go camping at the beach here in California and you really can't gather firewood at any of the parks. I live out in the valley in the middle of almond country and we have more firewood than you can shake a stick at, therefore I want to bring some with me. Are these things safe? Any special features I should look for? Thanks for any replys. I'd also like to say how glad I am to have found this site. I belong to a fishing club/fourm out here in California, and I can't tell you who much I've learned there. I look forward to learning alot about RVing here....Thanks again.....rimshot
