Yea man. This thing was exactly what we needed!

This was the best video I have seen on this product. its also making me want to buy this. Stowaway2 needs to pay you for this. One suggestion and if you could add to the video is this: Show the box packed with stuff.. that is the most important aspect of this presentation and I was hoping you would open the box and reveal the packed stuff as we got to the end. No worries, you could always edit the video and update I would think.

Great video - Would've been dope if you would have put stuff in there, to show approximately the amount of stuff you can get in there (unless there is another video with this specific content)

I think it might be better to have the nuts for the bolts on the inside of the box, not the outside. Just thinking it would be a little harder for someone to steal.

@ProjectDanH

To loosen them you'd need access inside the box, that's why it has a lock. If someone really wanted to steal it wouldn't matter which way they were installed because they can be cut.

Does it cause your backup sensors to go off

This one probably doesn't apply to you because you've got front and rear plates, but I can see a bored cop having an issue with a license plate being blocked by that thing. Does the manufacturer make a license plate bracket for it? There's a town near me that is well known for its speed traps and they nail you for 5 over. It transitions from 55 to 25 at the city limits, although I think the county put up reduce speed signs before you get into town.

I have a Mazda CX9 and it has sensors and I'm worried with this it will just constantly be beeping unless I turn the entire feature off. 2. I guess your rear camera would get blocked and parking might not be as easy especially with this extra length now behind the vehicle?

Hey question , I just got my trailer hitch installed ( Acura RDX) , and while installing my stowaway box , two things happened. The first thing, ( pretty much did what you did) the unit box sits a little higher than yours, and I really have to lean on to close it. Might that be because I tightened the stabilizer unit too tight? Second my electrical isn't working , I plugged everything in and disappointing , nothing is working . Do you have any suggestions ?? Thanks!
