There are major price cuts on high-end roof racks, bike racks, and other car-camping accessories going on right now. Saving 20% [Yakima]() and [Thule]() gear can mean hundreds of dollars in discounts—if you've been thinking about upgrading your cargo setup, now's a good time to pounce! As a matter of fact, just this month, [I reviewed]() the new [Yakima StepUp Swing bike rack]() and loved it. It's normally $999, but 20% off makes it $799.19, which is a genuinely darn-good deal. The non-hinged models (if you don't need the bikes to swing out to clear a tailgate) are even more affordable. The [compact RidgeBack model is on sale for under $320](), and the [hatchback-friendly FullBack three-bike carrier is only $263]() and change. In total, there are [**more than 180 car racks and storage products on sale**]() with discounts at 20% off and better from now until May 25.
