bike rack

I posted this over on the Sandpiper forum, and since so many people are perplexed about hanging stuff off the back of their FWs & TTs, I thought I'd post it here in hopes of sharing what I feel is some pretty good information. =========================== Been doing some serious research and hope...

I am struggling for ideas on a bike rack or basket for the back of the fifth wheel to carry bikes and a weber charcoal grill. Any comments or pics would be great. I am getting mixed feedback about the back bumper or having a reciever mounted to the back.

My standard sized adult bike does not fit on the bike rack that is supplied with the Columbus 320. The front tire fits in the slot but the back does not fit in a slot. Has anyone came up with a good way to modify this so a bike will fit. Pictures would be super. Thanks

Some of you may have seen in some of my other posts that we just purchased a new/used 2010 Sandpiper last month. I was really disappointed to find out that the back bumper (weight capacity) was no better than on our light weight Flagstaff 5ver we just got rid of. bahwahhhhh When all else...

We have a Salem 26tbud camping trailer. We are looking for a 4-bike rack for the rear of the camper. Any inexpensive, dependable recommendations?

Ughh! We have tried several methods to carry the bikes to the CG since we got the 5'er and after borrowing a receiver hitch rack, it looks to be the best solution. My question is, am I overloading the bumper? I have a spare tire and a bolt on receiver hitch already on the bumper. I have been...

I am posting this for a new member that is still figuring out the system here. This is from minilite12: Have started to winterize my 2012 minilite rockwood 1809s I have already opened low point drains, fresh water drain, water filter out and drained, wh drained anode out there is some...

Hey everyone, On our Sabre, the stated bike rack capacity is 450lbs. which may or not be accurate? from the manufacturer. We want to carry a small (250lb.) gas scooter on the rack, and wonder if anyone has put that much weight on their bike rack with success, and if it did fail because its...

Any of you columbus owners with the bike rack mount a storage box to it? I'm thinking a large plastic storage box would be good to hold a camp grill, lawn chairs or messy items. The rack supposedly will hold 400 lbs, so if you don't go crazy, you could have a place for stuff you don't want in...

I've read a number of postings about an issue with the size and/or spacing of the slots in order for the bikes to sit or be carried correctly. Curious if SabreSam has been made aware of this and does he have any comments or solutions to these said issues. We ordered ours with the rear bike...

As anyone ever used one of these to mount a bike rack to the hitch while towing? Is it safe to use or does the adapter compromise the towing capability...

Has anyone ever installed a bike rack on their travel trailer. We have a 17' Stampede Hybrid. I can't think of a convenient way to bring the family bikes camping with us. I would appreciate any ideas from anybody.

Since I already have a bike rack on the front of my TV I wanted to find another way to carry gear on the bike rack of the Columbus (25" X 70.5"). I found a nice, waterproof bag on Amazon that fits perfect (with enough room to store a 25 quart cooler beside it). It already has the tiedown...

Please share your experiences with mounting a receiver on the front of your TV and then using a hitch mounted bike rack on the front of your truck to carry your bikes. Pictures would be helpful as well.

I just wanted to share a few pics of my bike rack mount I made for our 5er. I pull it with a long bed, but depending on the type pf rack used, there is room for a short bed. It started out as a piece of an old 10" I beam. Cut it on a 22 1/2* angle and then flipped it over. Cut one flange off...

Have a windjammer 3006w, with the spare mounted to rear bumper. Looking for suggestions ad pics if available in what others have used for bike racks. Would like to carry 2 bikes, and not relocate the spare. Thanks in advance!

2006 Roo 233. Need to transport 4 bikes (trailer weight and tow vehicle capacity not an issue). Wondering if I can mount a hitch receiver in the Roo's bumper (Curt RV bumper 2"trailer hitch receiver) and add a trailer hitch bike rack (like a Swagman 4-Bike carrier). Anyone know the specs for...

My wife and I plan on making some trips where we will not bring RV trailer along but want to bring our bikes. I think best option is to put them on a hitch carrier rack but I don't know which is best as a brand/type... any experience? Hitch Bike Rack - Hitch Mounted Bike Racks :confused: Thanks!

Can I put a bike rack on the rear bumper of my Mini Lite?:confused:

Thought I would post this link for the industrious modifiers. I got this from another site. I would like to hear feedback from anyone who have used a similar setup. Pros - cons, etc. Feel free to post your own pictures. I am leaning in this direction to solve my bike carrying problems...

My home-made bike rack. My little bro helped me... Bought a normal bike rack for a normal receiver. Built 2 brackets, one for the rear and one for the front to provide more stability. Very proud. Front bracket: Rear bracket: View from underneath, the top hole is used when the front...

Since the rear bumpers on these units can't support the weight, has anyone installed/mounted a hitch to the frame to carry a bike rack? Any pros and cons in doing this...any alternatives to carry bikes that work better than the rear bike rack method for the superlite fifth wheels?

Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions for a bike rack that can be used on the back of our '06 GS272? We do not have a traditional bumper as everything is completely enclosed. The spare tire is connected to a piece of box tubing, that has been welded in to the frame,via two flat pieces of...

Been needing a bike rack since we got the new tt and obviously the rear bumper is not a good idea. Didn't want to spend big money so after some searching came up with this. Found blue prints online went to hd and for less than $40 & a couple hours I have a rack. Sits nicely in bed and will...

After not many options available, I finally ordered the Arvika tongue mount bike rack out of Quebec. I purchased the DFX rack and brackets to use on a hybrid. I had their poptop rails on our pup and really liked them, so I should like this one too.... I was really surprised how fast the dealer...
