Does anyone know the weight limit on the Silverback 31RK 1 1/4 inch factory bike hitch? I'm wondering if it can handle a aluminum cargo rack and a honda 3000 generator.
I know it's been beaten around, and many have suggested roof racks and the life but why not a back bumper rack for 3 bicycles? I notice the support poles for the rear bed rest on this, and the bed is rated for at least 400 lbs. I would add a couple of metal supports from the frame to the bumper...
As fate would have it, I finally got my father-in-law to build me a 2" hitch for my pin box for a bike rack. I used it 1 time for 2,500 miles to and from Key West (where we barely used the bikes!). And now- I'm upgrading my pin box and this is no longer usable.
(missing from this picture is an...

Anyone attach a receiving hitch or what have you done? I already have a 5 bike rack, but it requires a receiving hitch. Any other racks that you use?
Thanks,
Hi everyone,
Want to add a bike rack to my 2318g. Not crazy about mounting stuff to the roof so I was considering a rear bumper model. I see concerns about the strength of the rear bumper and its ability to hold anything. I need to carry minimum of 3 bikes so was looking at 4 bike...
I am selling a bike bunk cc-275. The rack is in good condition. I only used it for three months then I sold the trailer. The rack is in good condition is no major issues. It's designed to hold a receiver bike rack on your travel trailer tongue. Includes the rack and the mounting hardware. You...
I was looking for a bike rack that didn't have to go on the rear of the trailer or the front of the truck. After searching I came across some systems that mounted on the hitch A frame of the trailer. I mocked up a bracket and bike carrier out of wood to see what the clearances were. The canopy...
My 2014 317rl bumper states to not install any non factory equipment to the bumper. I have a two inch hitch made to bolt to the 4inch bumper. The hitch states to be used with continuous welded bumper. The bumper attaches to frame with what looks like 1 1/2 inch fillet welds. Should I have...
My husband and I recently purchased a 2014 Wildcat 312BHX that didn't have the fold up bike rack option, and I am trying to find out how I would go about finding out if we could add this ourselves, and also where would I be able to purchase one? Any help or ideas would be appreciated.
We purchased a Rockwood 2514g this spring, and we are looking for a bike rack. I installed a receiver hitch on our old camper and just used a receiver style bike rack, but I don't think the bumper on this one will handle it.
What are people using for bike racks on these units? With the...
I am selling a ProRac Bike Rack and a BAL leveler. Traded the pop up for a hybrid so these need to go. Items are located in Danville Kentucky and I would prefer not to ship. Both items are big/heavy and the shipping and packing would be difficult. Leveler is $50 and the bike rack is $225.
I am selling a bike rack mount that attaches to the A-Frame. It's much safer that bumper mount racks. I purchased it a few months ago but selling since I switched to a motorhome. It comes complete with all parts necessary. Retails for $250 new. I am looking for $150 plus shipping or best...
I have a 2860DS (31' C)
I purchased a hitch style bike rack and it should be fine.
However, when I tow my Motorcycle (single enclosed) is my only option for bikes a ladder mount?
I'm not a fan of the one I had on the old RV cause no matter how careful sometimes the inner bike contacted the...
I'm looking for a FR factory folding bike rack that will fit my Wildcat 312BHX. If your trailer came with one and you never use It, sell it to me and make some money back :). I'm located in north Florida.
I was packing up our new 23IKSS tonight for her maiden voyage. I put the bikes inside the trailer and I really was not crazy about it. I can just see them flying all over as we go down the road and dinging up the interior real well.
I am wondering about putting a hitch and bike rack in the...
I wanted to share my version of this device as I addressed one shortcoming that my trailer would have with the design most people use. The issue is that my pin box is a Reese Revolution and mounting a receiver directly to it would not work as the bikes would hit the trailer in the slightest of...

Hello all, I have done the internet search thing. Can't quite figure out the best way to instal a bike rack, with our infamous no bumper! Any good solutions or pics would be great thanks!!
Saw a Flagstaff high wall going down the road today with an interesting bike mount. The fork of the bike was mounted to the rear bumper and the back tire of the bike to the roof.
Assuming this guy doesn't hit any bumpy roads, this seems to be a good option for putting most the weight on the...
Here are a couple of pics to show my custom bike rack mod, although the bike rack is a Voyager rack made to be bolted(7/8" bolt) to a receiver hitch.
I do not wish to incite a debate about whether this should be done or not, and wish to state that this works, and that I can bounce on the arms...

I know the topic of bike racks has has been discussed heavily on this forum, but my uncle has one that I have never seen before. I don't want to start any hot debate about bike racks, but has anyone else used or seen this one before. He ordered it from Canada.

I have a 17BH Viking... any recommendations for bike racks? Can I put a bike rack on the back bumper near the spare tire? Thanks for your suggestions. I know I can call the dealer, but I like your real world advice best.
