    Re: Bike Rack

    Hi @clc530! The maximum rear bumper weight rating for your specific Solitude 369RL (#334) is 150 lbs. Thanks! ~ Janice

    I do need to add to please make sure the aftermarket bicycle rack you purchase has sufficient clearance so the bicycles and/or bicycle rack does not hit or cause damage to the RV rear wall while the RV is stationary or traveling. Please be aware installing an aftermarket add-on part (i.e., a "modification") could affect your warranty as the aftermarket parts, installation and any potential damage caused by the modification is not covered by either of our limited product warranties. Please contact your dealer or our Warranty Dept. (our phone number in my signature, below) if you have further questions. Hope this helps! ~ Janice

    Most campers of this price point have a 500lb rack if they do not have a rear cap? Any reason why they are not standard? Seems that the frame is plenty sturdy for one? Thanks

    Re: Bike Rack

    Swagman 2 bicycle carriers "should not be mounted on the bumper of a travel trailer or fifth wheel. The combined weight of the carrier and the bicycles exceeds the capacity of the bumper."

    If you mount one of their carriers on your rv, their warranty is void.

    There are carriers that allow you to hang 2 bikes on your ladder. We have not yet decided what to do with our bikes on our Reflection 337.

    Re: Bike Rack

    Just a word of caution about a bike rack that goes on the ladder of the RV. I put one of those on my previous trailer and it caused the bolts to loosen that held the ladder to the RV. When I had the roof maintence done the dealer suggested I use a different bike rack to prevent any damage to my ladder.

    Hi Robert,

    Did you or anyone else find a solution to this conundrum? It seems to me that 100lb limit is cutting it awful close.

    Hi Dean and Cindy (@Justaguy),

    See attached picture of an approved bike rack that mounts to the rear bumper. This is a 2-bike configuration with a combined weight under 100 lb. loaded.

    Best regards,
    ~ Janice
