Bike Rack

[nwminnesota]

Check out the bike racks from 1UPUSA. I don't know if they specifically rate them for RV use, but these are extremely well built bike rack with a price to match. If in doubt, call them and ask. They are made right here in the US of A.

I have a single bike rack on my 297RSTS, which I also used on a Winnegago Class A motor home. I think your frame would fail long before one of these racks would fail.

I agree those look like they would hold up but they only go up to 2 bikes not 4.

^^ Understood. There may be others who might be interested in this product. 1UP USA is not a household name, but a great product.

I checked these out a few years ago. At the time, when I contacted them directly, they said that all their racks could be used on RV's. Then, when I was looking at something for the Imagine, they specifically said they would NOT recommend them for RV's. Now their web site says: "1Up USA advises a two-bike max with only the 2-in. hitch-bar models."

On my old Jayco 26.5RLS fifth, I had to put a 12" hitch extension on the receiver to get everything to clear the bumper, and avoid the bars from hitting the rear window. Just even more moment arm that may exacerbate any capacity issues with the receiver. Note too, that these things aren't a great fit in the receiver, so you need some serious "anti-rattle" clamps to stop them from banging up and down as you go over bumps in the road.
It may be a pain to get them on and off, but look seriously at bike racks that mount on the pin box of the fifth, or put a receiver on the front of the truck for the rack.

Has anyone used the above bike racks?

The pro-series bike rack is "RV" rated (I emailed the manufacture).I believe the other one is as well still have to email manufacture.

What do you guys think?

Look at Alpacca Carriers. We haul two recumbent trikes on the back of our 5th wheel. They are designed to be used on the back of RV’S. Easily configured to haul 4 bikes.

I have used several different type racks over the course of the last few years. I currently use the two bike version of the Pro Series 63138. By far I have been very impressed with the rack. There is a threaded hitch pin that can be tightened to eliminate movement in the receiver and the upper clamps work well to secure the bikes into the rack. I have been happy with this rack, although it's the two bike version.

I bought a bikewing this summer and have hauled 1 to 4 bicycles behind my 311BHS. It is very sturdy. Hauled as far as 750 miles one way with no issues.

I had made my decision on the bike rack. I went with the Pro-series 63138 4bike rack. It's rv rated hopefully it works out well.

United Products out of Elkhart makes a nice, inexpensive rack. Swagman has a very nice, 2x-3x the price of the United Products model.
