    bicycle rack

    Hello,

    I would like to be able to take along the family bicycles. I have a 2015 Reflection 27RL Super Lite. I contacted Lippert requesting which receiver would fit for use with a bicycle rack. This was their response:

    "I show a 68 1/2" receiver would work. Here's the thing, we don't advise on them. The reason for this, if something should happen we can't be held responsible. This component could be looked at as a failure should something happen to the frame".

    Doing a search for bicycles I see where other people are talking about hitch that bolts to the bumper of their reflection. I don't have a bumper on my Reflection.

    What is the recommended way to carry bicycles with my 27RL?

    When I asked my Dealers Service center, the Service manager responded with this "
    you will need to call LIPPERT Components to discuss mounting anything to the frame and have it installed by an approved, authorized Lippert service center. Lippert's number is 574-537-8900"



    Thank you,

    Douglas

    Hi @sdabkh,

    Thank you for adding your VIN! The hitch accommodates a standard Class III receiver. There should be a sticker on the hitch that posts the 250 lb. load rating.

    Janice,

    On another thread for a 27RL discussing a bicycle carrier. I am led to believe that they ordered their hitch from Grand Design. I am not seeing anything on the website that indicates that grand design sells hitches. Does grand design have a hitch that will bolt up to the brackets on a 27RL? If so what would be the part number?

    Thank you,
