Let’s Go Aero GearDeck 17

For RVs that don’t have a built-in compartment for a generator, the problems of portable AC power can be huge. One option is the Let’s Go Aero GearDeck 17, which offers a new way to transport and store portable generators. This enclosed, hitch-mounted carrier system measures 48 inches long by 25 inches wide and 25 inches high.

You can add or remove components of the versatile GearDeck 17 to create the carrier that best accommodates your needs. The system can be used as a hitch rack (Twin- Tube), an open-platform cargo carrier (GearDeck) or in its original form (GearDeck 17). All configurations permit telescoping capability for access to vehicle doors and cargo bays. For folks who have smaller motorhomes, trailers and pickup campers, the GearDeck 17 allows you to easily transfer the rack and genset from one RV to another.

Valley Hitch

A hitch with the towing electrical connection built inside the receiver? It’s an innovation that would have others asking, “Why didn’t I think of that?” Valley, a towing industry leader for more than 60 years, did. This system eliminates the need for unsightly brackets or draping the harness outside the vehicle, where it can be damaged by weather and road debris.

The new hitches, primarily Class II and Class III rated, are available in both round and square two-inch cross-tube receiver designs for popular pickup trucks, vans and sport utility vehicles. A harness, supplied with each hitch, plugs directly into the vehicle’s existing tow wiring, then into an OEM-quality four-flat or seven-way connector on the backside of the hitch. To ensure durable and reliable operation, the connectors are sealed to prevent dirt and moisture from getting in.

These integrated trailer wiring hitches and harnesses from Valley are vehicle-specific and are packaged in kits. Visit their website and select the “Where to Buy” link to get information on all available hitch kits and where to buy them.
