I have a coachmen clipper 16 fb and thought about a 2 bike rack.Hopefully the bumper on this is ok for it and the spare.Looking for some suggestions from the forum Thanks
We pull our Hybrid 2013 Jayco X20E with a 2104 Toyota Sequoia. I'd like to take bicycles. While we have a Thule rack for a receiver both Thule and Jayco seem to say don't put a receiver on the rear bumper of the trailer and carry bikes -- not to mention another thing to take care of before we...
My plan is to tow a jeep behind our HD, but until then we need a bike rack. Has anybody used a receiver hitch bike rack on a Force? I know I will need to get an adaptor, since the receiver looks bigger than a 2". A local bike shop told me that they don't recommend racks on a RV due to the...
After lurking for a while on these forms I joined today..
We just picked up our 2017 Roo 183 and while reading the owners manual it said adding anything to the rear bumper may void the warranty. Does anyone know why this might be ? The rear bumper doesn't look to be the strongest but other...
I purchased this bike rack to use for transporting our folding bikes. It is highly rated, and has a capacity of 75 pounds. It's a great rack, but it is designed more for standard bikes... not so good for smaller folding bikes like ours (the shorter seat post is too tight of fit.)
It has never...
Made two cross country trips with our 2013 Sanibel 3500 with a bike rack attached to the factory installed hitch. After our second trip, I noticed that the rack was excessively worn out. I called the manufacturer for replacement parts and was informed that this rack was not to be used on 5th...
I have a 2017 Rockwood 8329SS. In one of the kitchen cabinets there is a sticker that says "Addition of any non_factory installed components to the bumper assembly is prohibited and may void chassis warranty" Does the mean I cannot add a bike rack? Does FR have specific bike racks it allows?
Sorry for starting yet another thread about bike racks, as I know there are already a number of them. But, I'm hoping to get responses very specific to my particular TT.
As my sig shows, we have a 2014 Coachmen Freedom Express 50th Anniversary (236BHS).
I note in other threads that some...
Can an Arvika bike rack be used with an Equal-I-zer hitch? I have a 2012 Tahoe pulling a travel trailer and need somewhere to mount a couple of bikes. The Arvika looks like a great solution, but I've heard somewhere that it can't be used with an Equal-I-zer.
Now that we have a few trips under out belts in the new to us 2011 X19H, I took a few pictures of some of the mods and adaptations we have made as we settle in. Trips so far have been fairly short, but we have a big 17 day trip coming up in a couple of weeks. Our favorite CG's have no...
While looking online at the new Flagstaff fifth wheels yesterday, I noticed that a ladder mounted bike rack is now offered as an option on new units. Have any of you gotten this rack? How well does it work? I'm considering ordering one from my dealer, since it will probably fit my 2015 unit.
I'd like to add a two bike rack to the bumper of my Grey Wolf 24RK. The bumper appears to be welded to the frame. Anyone have any suggestions on the best plan, or type of rack? The existing storage rack says its capacity is #250. So here are my options. Add tire holders to the existing rack they...
I am trying to arrange what I can carry on my fold down rack. The sticker shows the capacity to include the spare but a call to f.r. resulted in the recommendation that the spare be removed if I intend to use the rack for anything. So any others out there with this rack? If so how are you doing...
WDH is 1200# bars and 1200# hitch weight 250$ over spare tire bike rack is 35$ . Buyer must pick up or pay for shipping. Located Martinsville VA. Prices are marked to sale!!!
I'm about to pull the trigger on a roof-mounted bike rack for my PUP. But first, I would like to hear from others on your experience with longevity, especially those of you who leave the highway for those bumpy forest service and BLM roads like me.
I want to protect my bikes, which are fairly...
We took our tow vehicle and A frame camper to a truck scale yesterday to weigh everything, including the tongue weight to see if we could mount two adult bikes on the front hitch. Turns out the bikes will make the tongue weight too heavy.
So, we will have to attach them to the back of the...
Hello all, just bought our first new camper! We love it already, getting it all set up but had one question: I have a Swagman 4-bike rack that I purchased and installed (haven't gone anywhere yet) and I've heard horror stories about bike racks being too much weight for the bumper so I'm seeing...
I have the factory flip down travel rack on my TT. The only redeemable feature that I see in it is that is holds my spare tire. It is well put together and a steel box was welded to the frame for it.
I do not like the idea of using it as when in use the spare sticks out further than...
I am looking at purchasing a platform bike rack (supports wheels) for use with my truck and 27RL. I have looked at Swagman and Curt and wondering if they will hold up to being on the back of the RV.
I would also like to know what bike covers have or have not worked out.
Thanks!
Anyone got a picture of how they loaded and fastened down bikes on the rack of a chapparal or similiar? I haven't yet tried and the rig is still in for warranty work.
After hearing about (and seeing) the aftermath to bumpers/frames from bike racks mounted to the rear bumpers of TT's, I decided to make a beefy 2" receiver mount over the battery and propane tanks. Here's some pics (before painting and capping the square tubing):
