    Bike Rack Search Finding

    Searching for a bike rack that is hitch mount, platform style for 2 e-bikes. Bike dealer cautioned me to only buy a RV rated hitch. My intent is to mount the rack to my TOAD (2019 GMC Canyon) hitch receiver. As I dove into the details, I discovered very few racks qualify for RV use. For...

    You can use the forum search to find posts on bike racks, I personally use a Kuat and really like it. https://rvforums.com/search/75202/?q=bike+racks&o=relevance

    Rear tray

    ...low. I’m planning on just some folding chairs, table, table top grill and some yard lights etc. I’ve seen several post about RV special bike racks but didn’t see anything about trays. Amazon has several listed with bags. What should I be looking for in a tray. What have you used and been...

    Question Bike Rack Recommendation

    Due to the wide variety of bike racks and the unique shape of RVs it’s not a simple task to select a camper bike rack. Bike racks can vary in the number bikes and types of bikes they can accommodate. Also they are not compatible with all types of vehicles. So in order to search for the best RV...

    Bike rack options?

    ...axle to the bike rack creates more violent movements which will create more stress that a typical passenger vehicle. Watching how much the rear bike racks jump around on bumps (on the back of travel trailers) makes me not want to use a bike rack on the RV, unless it was significantly...

    EBikes

    For anyone shopping for an e-bike be sure to understand the weight of the bike and that you'll need to be able to load/unload it. Some bike racks offer ramps. These bikes are significantly heavier than traditional non e-bikes.

    Bike rack recommendation for long-hauling four bikes

    I’ve found that etrailer.com has good reviews and recommendations on bike racks for RV vehicles. We purchased a bike rack for 2 bikes from them. Finding a bike rack for 4 bikes would be more difficult.

    Question Put a bike rack on the back of transend trailer. Is it ok

    You might want to make sure your bicycle carrier is recommended to be mounted on a towed trailer/vehicle. Many manufacturers will void any warranty if it is not rated. Can Hitch Mounted Bike Racks be Used on the Back of a Flat Towed Vehicle | etrailer.com. Darrell

    Question Bike Rack Recommendation

    I like our Thule 2.... It's a solid bike rack https://www.thule.com/en-us/bike-rack/hitch-bike-racks/thule-t2-classic-2---2-_-1689772

    RVing with E-Bikes

    The e-bikes are compelling for sure. They look like a ton of fun! One question I have is what is the best way to carry them? Do you use a bike rack on the back of your toad? Are there special bike racks for e-bikes?

    Rear tray

    If I were to use one, and I won't! I would use the kind that has a receiver at both frame rails. Although it is more trouble to deal with I pull a harbor freight tools trailer behind my fifth. I still haul very little weight, but failure of a tray can kill those unfortunate enough to be...

    Bike rack recommendation for long-hauling four bikes

    Thank you for the excellent response, David. A lot has happened since my original post and I ended up going with a 1up USA super duty rack. https://www.1up-usa.com/product/2in-super-duty-double-bike-rack/ It's more expensive than most other racks but it's really high quality and SO easy to use...

    RVing with E-Bikes

    We enjoy the Rad Runner e-bike(s). Bike racks designed to carry heavier e-bikes were really pricey so I opted for a motorcycle carrier. And actually got the Harbor Freight version. With a little fabrication (alteration) this carrier handles the e-bikes just fine. So for less than $150 I have...

    Bike rack options?

    We've been happy with this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09T9BCPNS/?tag=rvf01-20 120# capacity, sturdy and easy on/off. If we're hauling our toad and bikes.. the bike rack goes on the Jeep. Going by carrying capacity, many racks are light weight. Put them on the rear of a coach where...

    Alert WARNING: Using a bike cover while on a bike rack while driving can KILL someone

    ...our Yakima bike rack has been, a shell with a bike rack in the bed just made the most sense to me. So I started looking into truck bed bike racks this evening (I’ll probably go with the Advantage SportRack 4) but I happened across the Thule Insta-Gator and it made me think of @Neal. If I...

    Bike rack options?

    I've seen a couple pickups with bikes standing up on/in the bed. They could be hand made but question if there are there bike racks for use in the bed of pickups?

    Freedom Express 192RBS Bumper Weight Limit

    ...hold two 65 lb electric bikes then you need to go to a hitch installer and have a hitch welded in place that will take this load. Most e-bike racks are not designed for use on a 5th wheel trailer or most motorhomes so read the rack manufacturers load specifications. The stronger ones do...

    Bike rack recommendation for long-hauling four bikes

    Either the Thule XT series or the Kuat as these are the top two rocks in the business, I believe. Yakima just doesn't do as good a job as they used to for bike racks. The Thule is going to be pricey. We use a Thule XT-Pro for our bikes. The Ghule will also accept fat tire bikes.
