"Very easy to put all the components together with one person (although two does make it a bit easier). Holds a lot of gear and I really like all the safety features that are built into the frame. Love how solid it is when mounted! The only additional feature I'd like to see is some weather stripping to keep dust out of it when traveling on a gravel or dirt road. Overall, I'd give the StowAway2 a 9.9 out of 10!"

"Quick and easy order erring process. The trailer wiring harness was easy to install and best price on web. Will look to StowAway2 for next trailer needs."

"Great product to extend storage on my Sprinter based mini RV. Great help in selecting hitch bar length and options. It was easy to assemble. "

"I am in Afghanistan, however my wife said it arrived on time and a friend assembled it with no problems. Thanks. "

"Great product! I am using it right now on my vacation at the beach. I also use it when I go to dog shows.
Love it!!"

"It was very easy to order my replacement license plate holder for my StowAway. It showed up on my doorstep in the next few days and I was back in business. Super easy to work with!!"

"Just received my 16 cu. ft. Stowaway MAX swingaway today. Excellent product. Didn't take any time at all to get it unpacked and installed. Excellent instructions and everything was well organized in separate baggies. Very satisfied. Incredible amount of space and features. Can't wait to take it on the road soon. "

"Got the Stowaway 2 right on time. Everything is there in
fine condition."

"Purchased for a PleasureWay RV on the Sprinter Chassis. Fast shipping and expertly packaged for shipping. Heavy Item and it was received with no damage and no parts missing.

Instructions were spot on and easy to follow (and large enough print for these old eyes) making for a relatively easy assembly. Just one minor issue was the wiring for one taillight (on the cargo box) was a tad short and wouldn't connect with the lamp housing; this was easily resolved by removing the wiring from one of the harness clips, giving it the extra length it needed.

Bottom line, this is an quality well thought out product that is American made and I would highly recommend it. My first thought was that it is a little pricey (especially with shipping), but taking everything into consideration it is worth it."

"I researched the heck out of my purchase of a Stowaway2 Max. I looked at all the options and based on feedback, etc. I chose to go with the Stowaway2. I was able to get assistance via email before the purchase and when I received the Max I called with a question and got an answer immediately.

I have yet to use the box, but will be doing so this next week so I can update my review then. But as for purchase experience, top notch.

Okay folks, couple weeks later so here is the update.

The Stowaway2 worked great. Drive about 1,500 mile round trip and had no issues. It rained for about 2 hours while on the road and no leakage at all. With the hitch tightener there was no wobble at all. We have a GMC Acadia and you did not even see the box out the back window and when driving you did not even notice it was there and there was no impact on mileage at all (and it was packed!!).

I would comment that if you have an Acadia (Traverse or Enclave), you do not need the exhaust shields. I bought two and put them on both sides. I checked the heat at rest stops and it was not hot at all, even though outside temp was 90+. The box sits high enough on this vehicle to not be impacted.

Only downside is that we cannot also have a bike rack on the back of the vehicle. A roof box would permit both, but the Stowaway2 was much more convenient (especially with the swing-away feature, which got some looks when we stopped and I was showing off). I took it off when I got to the rental house (I highly recommend the wheel kit) and put it back on before we left.

Overall, if you don't have an issue with needing a bike rack, I would definitely take this over a roof mounted box."

"Excellent product!! Exceeded our expectations. We loaded 2 adults and 4 children into a Toyota Highlander. Drove 4,000+ miles across 14 states in 15 days. The Stowaway kept us sane by giving us room in the car and easy access to our luggage which remained dry thru two downpours and heavy traffic.

You ROCK!!

"Looked very hard at the MAX unit, but settled on the Standard after many conversations with my copilot and it ended up being just the right amount of space. We went with the SwingAway arm on our Class B Sprinter RV and being able to swing it aside to access the read doors was HUGE. Very simple to install -- took 30 minutes or so. (I'll echo the need for a 2nd person to hold the bolts with a wrench while you tighten down the box)

All in all, wouldn't change a thing!"

"StowAway2 MAX with Swingaway frame: Online order process was clean, quick, and delivery was rec'd within advertised time. Build time/effort was easy (only took me 30-min's). Instructions said the lid's lock-bar receivers may need tweaking to get the metal lock-bar mechanism to fit properly and mine DID need a couple of strong pulls to fix it.

Things to note:
1 - When fully built on the Swingaway frame, it is cumbersome and a bit heavy to manipulate alone so you'll need a 2nd person to get the unit properly positioned on the hitch.
2 - I too will opt for better shocks to compensate for the added tongue weight (put on a 2011 Honda Odyssey Touring Elite).

At the end of the day, the StowAway2 MAX is a great unit offering secure, safe, and dry transport of goods while allowing water to drain from weep hole (used as a tail-gate ice/beverage holder too). It's a perfect addition to our family's needs. Anyone seeking temporary additional space while not wanting to compromise wind resistance and lower gas mileage with a rooftop unit will appreciate the space, utility, and function offered by this cargo box. We LOVE it!!!"

"Went together perfectly and quickly.

I bought the MAX to carry equipment needed by my daughter who uses a wheelchair. It arrived quickly and in perfect condition, very well packaged. Assembled in less than an hour ready to go.

Used on a Honda Element. I can open the tailgate no problems with the unit swung open.

Also, my LED lights were defective when I received them, the lenses had not been glued properly. 2 minutes online with a customer service rep and new lights were sent to me. excellent service."

"I ordered a locking hitch pin with tightener and also the license plate holder with light. The delivery took a LONG time. Once the items arrived they were very easy to install according to the directions. I am unhappy with the way the stowaway2 tips slightly from side to side. We have tightened the tightener as tight as possible and even removed it to put in from the opposite side of the receiver with the same results. The light kit is very easy to install and works GREAT! Otherwise, I LOVE the extra space the stowaway2 affords me when running around town or on vacation!! I had a few people ask me if it was a cooler.. Interesting idea..."
