Fitment Notes:

  • For reference on the swing orientation: Stand behind your van facing towards the front. For the Left-hand/Driver-side, order the left post and for the Right-hand/Passenger side, order the right post.
  • North America (USA, Canada, and Mexico) share a standard size license plate that is 12" x 6" or roughly 152.5mm x 305mm.  The United Kingdom uses a rear plate that is 21" x 6," or roughly 533.5mm x 152.5mm, and the Euro license plate is 20.5" x4.5" or roughly 521mm x 114.5mm. Because of the discrepancy of the North American license plate versus UK/Euro plates, we have made some latch posts to accommodate the longer plates. In the dropdown menu below, please choose the corresponding latch post for your license plate.

  • This product requires that your van has integrity in its rear corners.  Your van may have been in an accident at some point and the repair bondoed over.  Please check your van carefully before ordering this product.
  • Some assembly is required, however complete and easy-to-follow instructions are available at the link above this description.

 

Wondering which side is right for you?  The spare tire will obstruct a small part of the rear window when mounted (see photos). Westy drivers tend to choose to mount it on the Driver's side since their view is already partially obstructed by the cabinets.   Another reason to mount the tire carrier on the Driver's side is that, if you are also going to mount the RMW Swing Away Carrier with Folding Shelf, you can open the passenger side 180-degrees and use the shelf as a camp table.  Which side you choose will just depend on your personal preference.

 

Powder Coated Product Return Policy:

There is an additional 10% restocking fee applied to all powder coated products being returned.
