I appreciate the feedback but I think the information is worthless. I dont blame etrailer for this but instead I think this is just a small example of our culture going overboard with legal issues. I mean I cant buy a cup of coffee without getting a severe warning that the coffee is hot. If you cant sell a cup of coffee without covering yourself for legal purposes I guess a safety strap for my bike rack is fitting. Im very disappointed to leave such a society to the younger generation. Hopefully we can return to some semblance of common sense. Im sorry to vent but I cant be quiet and stand for this legal silliness.

Actually I was quite surprised, and pleased, to hear back from Michael with such a thorough answer to my question. I had discussed this issue with many camping friends and a couple RV dealerships and was told that I could not combine the B&W Turnover ball with air bags. Since the both occupy the same area of the frame only one could be installed.
Michael not only advised me that it could be done, he provided the exact part numbers for the air bag kit that I need. He also guided me to eTrailer videos covering the installation on a similar vehicle with the Turnover ball alread installed. I couldn't be happier. I intend to order the kit after this camping season and do the installation myself this fall.
Thank you Michael, and eTrailer. Knowledge is power, service is everything.
Kevin

I appreciate the information from you based on what little criteria I was able to give to you. The cayenne is actually a 2015 diesel. We looked at the door jam stats and the trailer stats and all are within guidelines. My problem isnt that the cayenne CAN pull it. My concern is when something happens and the inexperienced driver has a vehicle that technically is fine, but as soon as theres an issue all of a sudden this high performance vehicle isnt keeping the eight wheels and oresious cargo on the payment. My concerns are length of vehicle, width of wheel base, weight of vehicle to stop the force of 6,000lbs coming towards it. Yes we have a break system, but that break system could fail. Yes we have an emergency break system, that could also fail. What happens if the trailer jack knifes? What happens when it blows a tire or two on one side? Will the cayenne be able to keep its self from losing control of the driver can keep its wits as well. And wits might have nothing to do with it. Sometime $#*! happens.

As for the suburban, he reassured me and told me in all the ways he pimped his ride for towing and I am secure with that. But again, the suburban is long. The hitch was built into the frame, he has air ride shocks that the computer system controls as it feels the weight. There were even more things he added to help the suburban be a proper towing vehicle. So Im good with this choice.

Thanks again for you insight.

I requested information from E-Trailer in reference to a replacement cover for my 2004 Dodge Dakota. I inquired at different distributors with negative results. Chris from E-Trailer responded back to me within a few days with the part number for my vehicle. I ordered the part and I received it a few days later. It fits perfect, looks great and the $99.00 price, which included free shipping. Was very reasonable.

The bike rack is heavy duty. Also you might I want to add in comments that people may need to put a 2" or 4" hitch lift attachment, It sits low on 2018 Nissan Murano hitch setup. Also the rubber slides on wheel rests could be a little more solid. But if you don't take the wheel rests on and off they are fine. The wheel rest can work for other items such as carts and lawn chairs so I use them in various formations, that is why I take them on and off.

Thanks for the response. I was hoping to be able to get the answer without having to move the rails and test the fit. It makes sense that dispersing the weight over 40 inches would be a benefit.

You guys are so conscientious. I wonder how business would have been thought of if all were like you from way back when. You actually realize that you need happy, reasonable, customers, not just one-time customers.

That's refreshing, and it is catching on.

Absurd pricing
June 26, 2018

Adam was knowledgable and helpful.

Sadly your pricing policy cost you a customer. Jacking the price up on the item I wanted from $232 to $312 led me to buy elsewhere for close to your original price.

Timothy G took time to research my question to come up with several options. He was also honest in telling me that there was not simple solution for my question. Great job Timothy!

Didn't work out
June 25, 2018

When I received the carrier I tried it out on my suv with a load. The carrier sagged down even without a load on it. But with the load it scraped. When I tried to return it they wouldn't let me because it was used and scratched. They suggested I sell it on Craigslist. Now I'm out $250.

Husband ordered side lights for MH. They arrived with not mounting screws and no LED lightbulbs. Then when he tried to install they blew a fuse in our MH and knocked out half our lights. When we first opened the box, we asked for refund slip and told there is a cost. Also he told us to use the old gold screws for a bronzed side light! Getting more like 3rd world everyday! Do not order from them-terrible products/

The help that I received from Jameson C. Was great. He was very clear in why I couldn't use a certain trailer hitch to tow my camper and put a bike rack on additionally. He suggested a great second option of a bike rack that actually attaches to the camper frame which I was not aware even existed. Thanks for your help.

I haven't purchased the roof rack system yet, but the customer service at etrailer.com has always been 5 star. Their responses are timely, accurate, and friendly.
I can rate the rack after purchase, but the trailer hitch and rack that I bought last year worked like a charm.
I will continue to be an etrailer customer! Thank you!

I had a technical question about a product. Kyle acknowledged receipt of the question, then followed up shortly thereafter with the answer, then followed up a day later to see if I was satisfied. Great follow through and customer service
