could it be used as an organizer in a horse trailer, could it tolerate the movements, would baskets, and hooks fall off?

I think this would work in a horse trailer. The vibration should not cause the hooks to come out. The only way they would come out is if something pushes the hook up. Any thing hanging on the hook would not push the base of the hook up to release it from the grid. We don't have any baskets, but they should mount the same way.

I LOVE this system for my garage, and each of the pieces (baskets, hooks, etc) can be screwed into a wall - with or without the system. If you don't have this option, I don't think I would put it in a moving trailer with my horse :)

I think it would probably be a great idea in a horse trailer. Not sure how you would secure it to the walls of the trailer. I know the hooks would stay in the grid, but depends on the composition of the walls as to how you'd attach the grid. I LOVE this system and have it in my house and garage. It's the best storage system of any of the modular type.

The hooks and baskets seem to be quite sturdy once they're placed on the grid. I haven't ridden in a horse trailer, but I would think that if the grid is secure against the wall of the trailer that the baskets and hooks would be fine. Note, though, that the grid has to be installed horizontally. I bought one for a vertical space and didn't realize that because the way the hooks and baskets attach, the grid MUST be horizontal.

The basket is very sturdy. You could use it for grocery shopping. I would not use it for extremely heavy loads

Yes, but it is heavy so I personally wouldn't want to move it around a lot. I'm assuming you would have to do for loading dogs in to an SUV.

since it comes folded, it will take some doing to get it to keep the "upright" position but other than that I think it could work. I wanted to hang mine but the "hooks" are flimsy and not much use. Have a good day!

Weight wise, I would say yes - I use it to carry a cooler sized box full of about 50 pounds of tools and supplies at a job site. I often throw a heavy bag on top of all that, so the stack is as high as the handle. A rachette strap works better than the bungee to hold the box on. The wheels on this one handle curbs and bumps better than any other that I've used, though I have never tried to use in on sand.

I am really not sure if that would work because the rattan on the baskets comes all the way up and over the sides so they are completely covered and the files would not slide. If you are looking for them to be stationary, it would work.

I think it could work ok. We use it in our pantry, but it is not made to hold too much weight and we have it strapped to the door because the rack can lift and items will fall out the back. I have seen other options since purchasing this that have more of a basket that you might be able to find.

Sure. The hard part would be anchoring the posts. It wants to fall apart if you move it. Takes two people to put it together. In hind sight I would of used hot glue or some kind of glue as I went along

Absolutely! The hitch folds under and out of site. There is no issue with using it as a trailer with the handle attached.

I hang several jackets, umbrellas, and even my purse on it without any problems. I do have baskets on the shelves and one on the bottom gets the tossed mail I don't want to go through right away so it has some weight to it. That might help with stability.

I do believe that it is designed for screw attachment. I'm assuming that if it were not fastened down, and then you moved the basket on the rails, the weight of the unit itself would probably be enough to cause it to tip forward. I don't think it was intended for stand alone use.

I think the organizer would be ok in an RV but you might put too much in it and that would pull it down. Probably best to use shower curtain rings to hang it from a towel holder maybe?

This cage is pretty sturdy and once it's put together is easy to roll around to move it, but I don't think you would want to try to dissamble it and reassemble it very often. If you could get it into your RV once it's together, that would work great.

I use it for my laundry stuff and it is stationary. I'm not sure I'd trust it to be sturdy enough for what you want to use it for.

I use it to haul dog crates and use bungee cords so they don't fall off. It is very thin on the bottom. You might have to slightly tip the front up to get it started but I think it would work.

I think so. However, the bottom of the basket is what flaps up and down to allow the basket to collapse flat or remain as a basket. If you mounted it to the top of your back rack you'd lose that functionality. I do think you would want to purchase a rigid, more sturdy, basket if you are only going to mount it to the top of your back rack. Hope this helps!

I do not believe this rack has the capacity to securely mount a "large" basket to it. Having said that, there are ways to use bungee cords or ratchet type straps to secure many small to medium size bags, baskets, coolers, etc. to the rack. I use an insulated type lunch box and secure with bungee cords and it works well for my needs.
