Ok, Copied the video to you tube.
Here is the link.

Shows just how much bikes bounce around back there. This is a pretty smooth road.

It looks like the rv is not bouncing that much but the rack is. How is the rack mounted? 2" receiver hitch? On my MH, I added a bolt to tighten up the receiver hitch so my cargo carrier wouldn't flop around like that. Worked perfect for 15 years and lots of miles.

Don't honestly know. My exit came up when I went off to the right side so I didn't see how the bikes were mounted. Either Hitch or On the bumper with a bumper mount. Trying to stare at the bumper to see if it is moving when the bikes bounce.
I just saw this and thought I would record it to show that even though the RV is not bouncing around, the bikes sure are.

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you were filming and following your RV. My mistake.

TY for posting the video!!!

That is one reason I bought one of the hitch anti rattle kits. It stops the bike rack from moving in the receiver hitch.
