Bike(s) cover reco for Lippert “jack_it” dbl bike rack
Hi…I just purchased a Lippert “Jack-it” double bike rack for the front tong of my imagine travel trailer RV. This bike rack mounts at the base of the electric tongue lift motor. The bikes are then suspended up above the propane tanks and in front of the trailer. I was wondering if anybody has found a bike cover that can with-stand the abuse while traveling down the road? I would like to keep the rain, bugs, and debris off the bikes.
Any other feedback on this bike rack and using it before I mount it would be helpful.
Thank you, Chipmaker——————————————-

This is the most durable two-bike cover we've found:

We get two to three years out of each one with it exposed about 75% of the time in all kinds of weather. It's pretty heavey-duty.

I've thought about talking to the guy that makes my boat travel cover. That one has lasted over 15 years! Material is called "Top Gunn". My guy makes each cover custom to fit the specific boat, and how it is rigged. While I'm sure not as affordable as the one in the link above, I have no doubt it will be more than tough enough for many, many years of travel. Google, Yelp and marine dealers would all be leads to custom boat places near you.

Thank you for the bike cover recommendation! It look like it might be exactly what I need. I called and they were very helpful. May need to to get the 3-bike cover for the two staggered bikes mounted on the "Jack-it." Love this forum!

Much appreciate the idea. It maybe the next route if this doesn't work out. Just hate the idea of grime, dirt, rain and ice just pelting the bikes as we drive many miles.
