Bike rack

Octopus Prime · 03-18-2018, 09:59 AM

We would like a bike rack to mount to the tongue and would hold four bikes of varying sizes.
What are you using?
What's a good one to get?

We purchased the Yakima Long Haul for our FW. It's supposed to be "RV rated". We have only carried 2 bikes a total of 40 miles before we had to store it for the winter. Looking forward to seeing how it performs when it finally warms up.

OP is looking for a bike rack to bolt to the tongue of the trailer. Doesn’t look like yours does right?

Oops, sorry. Had back bumper on the brain.

It only holds 2 bikes, but we use the Jack-It rack from Lippert. The kids bikes go inside the trailer for now, and I am looking at a ladder rack in the back to carry them instead of inside.

I find the Jack-It awkward to adjust for different bikes. It can be very difficult to get the bikes mounted up there. Some owners with trucks say the job becomes much easier when they can stand on a lowered tailgate, but I don't have a tailgate.

Overall, I like the use of that space and it works, it is secure. Not perfect though.

Not my photo, but looks just like this:

Id second the jack-it rack. It's built very well and I like that it doesn't mess with the rear departure angles. I don't have a good pic of the just the rack but here it is set up our camper.

I'll look into the jack it.
I think Santa Claus might bring us bikes for Christmas, so we want to have the rack ready and installed when we get them. [emoji41]

I have been looking for solutions for my 2005 25EX as well and I found the Jack It solution but I believe this would only account for two bikes correct?

Yes, Jack-it only carries 2. For now I am putting the other two inside, but I am looking for a ladder rack for the rear.
