  • Our rack is designed to fit a standard trailer rear gate. It will work if your setup has a standard door hinge type and at least 18 inches of clearance from the bottom of the door to the bottom of the door latch. And 90”-96” from the edge of your trailer to the far left henge.

  • The rack includes a complete installation kit for your convenience. It secures directly to the metal frame surrounding the rear door. We provide 5/16" bolts with nylock nuts, as well as a rivnut kit. While both are included, we recommend using the nylock nuts whenever the back side of the frame is accessible. If the back side is sealed, the rivnut kit should be used instead. Additionally, the latch is designed to mount seamlessly to your door’s existing hinges.

  • Our racks are designed for toy haulers, but we are currently in the design phase for a smaller rack and a square tube bumper mount that will work for non-toy haulers.

  • Grill Configurations (as you are grilling at the rack)
