Its a Vegas 24.1. Would it fit in one of the outside compartments? I saw room in between the frame rails in the rear, is there a winch kit? Thanks in advance!
that's from this old thread where I posted about the carrier under my class C.Mine isn't a Vegas...but have a look underneath to see if it's similar
Mine had to attachment points a few feet forward from the rear bumper on each side...on the frame rails. Tabs with mounting holes
And a third attachment point near the bumper on teh center line. It is a piece of threaded rod pointed down.
Ordered a factory rack from thor through the dealer
In the picture of the rack on the counter, the sticker with barcode is on a plate with a hole in it that mates up to the threaded rod at the rear.
Sorry, the installed pic is the best I have of it.
Anticipate a long wait... We had AAA RV coverage and the two times we needed it the waits were unacceptably long. Many hours in one case and the next day in the other. For case #1 they wanted to tow our RV to their repair lot rather than change a tire on the side of the highway. I refused as I was afraid they'd then say it was unsafe to drive (for some made up reason) and we'd be stuck paying an unnecessary repair bill &/or storage fees. In the second case it was a weekday afternoon and AAA couldn't find anyone to come change a blown tire (inner dually). We ended up staying in a nearby hotel and I called a truck repair shop the next morning and we were on our way in less than hour.At least for me AAA is a phone call away and I will comfortable in MH waiting
I actually bought a $100 welder at harbor freight and learned to weld on YouTube. Got some angle iron at Lowe’s and made a frame to sit above the RV frame. Then bought a tire winch from amazon. Works great.Its a Vegas 24.1. Would it fit in one of the outside compartments? I saw room in between the frame rails in the rear, is there a winch kit? Thanks in advance!
