Overview.<\/strong><\/span>
Although designed to carry the spare wheels, the swing-out arms are capable of having far more attached to them. So, just like the roof rack, they have become a major part of the van’s attachment and storage systems<\/span>. <\/span>
Not all the attachments can be used simultaneously; which ones are used will depend on the planned trip.<\/span><\/p>\n

Items in <\/strong>\u201cgrey\u201d<\/span> are still to-do.
<\/strong>Items in <\/strong>\u201cmauve\u201d<\/span> need to be fixed, replaced, or upgraded or we need more.
<\/strong>Items in <\/strong>\u201cbrown\u201d<\/span> are under construction or on order.
<\/strong>Items in <\/strong>\u201cgreen\u201d<\/span> are almost completed.
