Bike rack for Jay Flight

[jwtalley]

Picked up my new JF 28RLS this weekend. My unit has the 2” receiver installed in the rear. Who has a bike rack installed on a similar unit? Would like to have the bike rack on without moving the spare tire.

Installed on the frame or on the bumper?

Welded to the frame.

I had a regular bike rack installed on my 2015 29QBS frame mounted hitch. Let me tell you... buy a hitch that is rated for use on an RV. I borrowed my sister's hitch mounted bike rack and it wasn't designed for RV use. 1000 miles later we got to Florida and I realized that there was so much "slop" in the regular bike rack that when we went over bumps the bikes swung back (over 2 feet) and hit my camper, denting the rear wall with the handlebars. It doesn't leak or anything, but I've got a couple of dents in the siding which is annoying.

RV specific racks are designed to be stronger for those increased forces, and they are designed tighter, so as to not allow as much movement when you are driving.

Have a Swagman Trailhead 4 RV and has worked flawlessly for the two season we’ve had it. Carry three bike on it. We also have the factory 2” receiver that is attached the the camper frame on our Jayflight 28BHBE.

I've been using this one for about 4 years. Probably 4000 miles. It's really strong, but it is heavy. Hard to install it myself. Two people and it's no problem to get it in the receiver.

We have the jack-it bike rack. It securely bolts to the jack and keeps the bumper open for other storage.
